Good fans for Corsair Hydro H110

[gerico]

Hey guys,

I'm getting the Hydro H110 for my new rig, just wanted to know if swapping the stock fans for a pair of Noctua NF-P14s REDUX PWM 1500RPM 140mm, is a bad idea or good?

If it's bad, what fans would people suggest. Sorry if this is a noobie question.

Does it matter that the rad can take 140mm x2? I assumed getting some 140's would be better, or are these 120's just far superior for the job?

I believe there are no SP140's

Ah sorry I assumed it was dimensionally the same as my old H100...

In which case I don't think Corsair do SP's in 140mm so hopefully someone who knows their 140's can help

Ah yes your right, they don't! *edit i thought it could take 120mm or 140mm, after looking again I think actually it's just 140mm

Noctua do 140s but they're more for people trying to avoid noise.

Might try some Noctua, I hear they're quite good.

They were supposedly announced/revealed at Computex 2014.

I'm assuming there will be a non-LED variant of the SP140's. OP I'd either wait for these or go with some Akasa Apaches or may Noctuas (IndustrialPPC range if you're feeling extravagant!)
