Yet another which fan thread! (140mm)

Reppyboyo · 9 Feb 2015 at 18:25

Hi,

Im looking to replace the front 200mm fan in my Enthoo Pro case with two 140mm fans (or 120mm if there is something better) as its a bit loud and annoying.

Which fans should I be looking at for quiet/silent operation but still delivering very good airflow?
Prefer not to have LED's but its not a deal breaker.

Thanks for any help!

Alpenfohn wing boost 2. Cheap, quiet, good performance.

Noctua NF-P14s @ 900 rpm.

Not the cheapest option though.

I got those fans above and they certainly weren't quiet imo, way louder than the bitfenix spectre 120mm fans they replaced, the fan itself was quiet but the sound of the air being pushed through the grille was unbearable.

Another vote for the Alpenfohn WingBoost 2's, I've got 4 of them in my case and they're nice and quiet.

120mm versions are amazing!

Thermalright TY-140 series fans. They perform as good if not slightly better than Noctura counterparts and much lower prices. Just wish they came is 140mm square housing.

I have a Noctua NF-P14r REDUX and can't really recommend it. It's fairly loud at 1000rpm and doesn't move a huge amount of air.

Seems noctua have been sitting on their laurels and other fan makers have caught up with cheaper fans.

I have aerocool sharks, cheap and cheerful and shift enough air for me, I can't hear them over my Gelid Icy Vision @7v.

Noiseblocker PK3s if you turn them down are nice and quiet, push a lot of air too.
