Cougar fans for radiator. Thoughts?

I'm planning out my water cooling loop and I'm looking for some 140mm fans to go with a thick 280mm radiator.  The build is orange and black themed so I was looking at using the Cougar CF-V14HP 140mm fans.  I've seen cougar fans used before in radiator setups but I was wondering if any of you had an experience with these while water cooling.  They would look perfect in my system but I don't want to use something that won't give me the pressure I need for the radiator.

not the best in the world, but they look good and perform decent.

They're decent fans for a rad.

Using Cougar Turbines (similar fans) for my 120mm radiator and they are not bad imo in terms of static pressure.

Good to know.  Pressure was my main concern.  I know people that have used them in other settings and they didn't seem to think they were too loud or anything.  I just wish Corsair would huury up and make SP140s.  The market for static pressure fans is much slimmer in the 140mm arena.

been this way for years and prolly a little more. phanteks, noctua, NB and alike have

slim options, but trying.

 

i just can't stand cougar bearings.. vertical mounting is fine, horizontal just eats that sleeve.
