Hi,
I want to replace 2 120mm Zalman Be quiet fans with 2 Consair AF140 Quiet edition fans.
Problem is I cant decide if these fans will be the best ones.
I need a fan for an intake for the front of my case, behind it is the hard drive bay. I also need a top exhaust, can you recomment the best fans for the individual job.

PS: Noise isnt an issue, my H80 cooler will mash any noise.
 
I have 3 corsair AF 140 in my case, they aren't loud at full rpm and move a lot of air. Look really good too. Recommend them. :)

What case do you have?
 
Sweet, they would look great in there, not sure if they are the best ones, but if you want a good balance between noise and airflow they are a good choice. You can add the other fans around your case too? :)
 
I have space for only 2 fans, 1 is blocked by PSU and the other by a H80 cooler, I would like the best cmf fan for an exhaust. The other fan is an intake behinf the hard drive cage so I dont know what to go for CMF or static pressure?
 
If it's completely blocked by a side mounted hard drive cage then get static pressure for the intake, but cfm for exhaust.

Maybe apache for the intake, and AF/Bitfenix for the exhaust. If I could find the SP140's I would get 1 for my intake that is blocked my hard drive cages. I have an AF140 behind the hard drive cages and it doesn't really do anything at all there.

So, if you can find them, SP140 for front and AF140 for rear would be great. Otherwise mix and match it seems.

Hm, I don't think they do an SP140...guess I might order an apache and put it in there.

You can mount 120mm fans too, could get an SP120 or a gentle typhoon in there.
