140mm case fans?

korso · 29 Jul 2013 at 20:18

Anyone recommend me some 140mm case fans, prefer to keep the price at around £15±. Require good cooling performance and being silent when doing it.
I'd prefer a white, red or black colour scheme, but I can easily spray paint my fans has I've done before so don't mind.
Cheers.

Argghh after watching a view on how quiet and sexy the Corsair AF140's are you don't have them in stock!

If you post in the Customer Service section of the forum (link in sig) OcUK may be able to give you an idea of when they'll have stock.

Akasa Viper AK-FN063 S Flow's are very good, decent cfm and pretty quiet too. About £13 each

Save your money and grab some TY-147's if the colour scheme works: )
You can't really get much better imo.

Those Vipers have some impressive stats.

- Speed: 600-1600 RPM
- Max airflow: 109.55 CFM
- Sound level: 7-21.7 dB(A)

I've been upgrading my fans during the heatwave and been poring over specs. I settled on 2 140mm Aerocool Sharks and some other 120mm.

Sharks.

- Speed: 1500 RPM+-10%
- Air Flow: 96.5 CMF
- Noise: 29.6dBA

I have three of the 140mm versions, no complaints really good. A bit noisy at max, but I never feel the run them that hard.

Just for info I found the Corsair AF140's (as well as 120's) in 2 high street/retail park well known outlets.... Cheaper than online.... This post might get deleted? No idea, but I was very happy to find in such an unexpected place and snapped them up. Amazing fans.

At 29.6dBA does that not sound like a jet engine? I would have thought sub 20dBA would be about optimum for silent running no?

The Akasa fan paper specs are woefully inaccurate. :rolleyes:

The "ultra quiet" 140mm vipers are extremely loud at 12 volts. I think I damaged my hearing while they ran at 100% for a week before I got a fan controller. They are louder than the other 11 fans in my case combined.
