And if you are believing the manufacturer's specs I've got a bridge to sell you.you have selected a bad fan also. 1.17 static pressure?
Noctua NF-A14 140mm has 4.18
the Corsair SP140 is not like the SP120 "Performance Series" which has 3.1
Did you look at the test data from CoolingTechnique for the NF-A14 2000rpm ICCP a few posts back? 2.79mm H2O at 2000rpm .. not 4.18 mm H2O like Noctua shows.
That's 150% more than independent testing spec.
And Noctua is one of the good guys.
