Hi all,

I've recently switched back to air cooling so I only have fans that are most suited to cooling WC radiators, as such they aren't as efficient as i'd like, so i'm looking to move to the most recommended case fans instead, but I have a few questions as well

Do all PWM fans make the whirling noises as they change RPM? one of mine now sounds like a car skidding in a car park, it's not a graceful ramp up at all, but I don't know if that's just inherent to the nature of PWM fans?

Also i've never researched the topic but are less 140mm fans better at pushing/pulling air than more 120mm fans? I know they will be quieter due to the larger blades, but are they more recommended in general?

If that's the case then I would rather upgrade to 140mm fans either way

Thank you :)
 
Two people instantly recommending the same fan sounds good to me, thank you! :) on top of this, what do you use to connect all of your fans to the motherboard headers if you don't have enough headers? do people still use fan controllers or are there any recommended splitters available? Thank you :)
 
Thank you, I am going to buy them now, it's a fantastic price and the PST sounds great for using the fan headers rather than a controller for unified fan control as well, thank you for the help, it really is appreciated!
 
Quick question to add on before I purchase these, I noticed the P14 is all about static pressure, which I know can still be a great case fan, but would the F14 be more ideal, or are the P14's extra features still more beneficial purely for case fans? thank you :)
