From what I have read the fans that come with the Corsair H110 are not all that so I wanted to know which currently are or is a very good if not the "best" 140mm fan that has good static pressure? which is very important for radiators.
 
Thanks for the replies guys really appreciate it. I also wanted to know if I do push/pull with the H110 what screws are needed? I know it will come with 8 screws which are used to mount the fans that come with the H110 but which screws are these?

look into the swiftech helix 140..
based on the AP-15 120mm, the 140mm is pretty quiet and has some pressure.
the akasa 140mm fans are some others to look into.

Yea the Akasa FN063 has a Static pressure of 3.12 mm H2O :) which is great but I would like to point out I won't be using a fan controller and I have read this fan is quite load at full speed.

I personally wouldn't run any fan at a full 12v.

Get some 7v/5v reducers, or make them yourself.

All fans are loud at full speed.

You may be very tolerant of noise...but to say 'you can't hear a thing' isn't exactly helpful to anybody.

The act of a fan spinning creates turbulence in the air. Noctua may have perfected their motors so they don't make a noise, but for you 'not to be able to hear a thing' either makes you deaf, or Noctua able to defy the laws of physics.

Not saying Noctua are bad or anything - some of the best fans out there...

But I've used a P14 and P12 and still find the P14 too loud for me at 7v - but I am incredibly picky about noise.

All the fans listed so far - Noctua, Swiftech and Akasas are good choices - but I'd still be running all at 7v maximum.
Maybe look at Silverstone AP140s and Bitfenix Spectre/Spectre Pros if you want something quiet.

All those are good choices, and I wouldn't stray too far from those 6.
 
I like corsair sp 140's performance editions, I wouldn't say they are the best performers but they are really nice soundwise for fan controllers, some cheap fans make an annoying whining sound when you crank the voltage down on them but corsair gives you voltage step down adapters that eliminate that, plus they look way better than a lot of other fans out there. Noctuas are probably the best performers.

*edit* no offense
Did I miss something here?
Corsair SP140 would be really great, but never heard of.
AF 140 no matter if PE or QE on a Rad is not a good idea i think.
Akasa Apache / Viper, Swiftech Helix or the Cougar ones I think would be working fine.

Don't count on the Numbers of Akasa 3.X on a 140 Fan with high Airflow ?
I don't know how they measure their Fans but... sounds illusive.

We have a time traveller! :p
 
Hey guys thought i should put another related question on this thread.
because i'm now starting to build my own watercooled rig and i'm planing to use 3x Alphacool NexXxos XT45 280mm rads and i' would need some help on what fans i should choose... i'm planing my first rig to have a classic black and red theme but the only cool red fans on the market that i have looked at semes to be either the Aerocool sharks 14mm red or the corsair af 140mm but the af series is ofcorse not ment to be used on rads if i'm not incorrect...

i would really apreciate if anyone could help me thank ;)

I use bitfenix spectre pros on my radiators. Well, I will when I'm finished, but I have
done some testing and so far they perform quite well. The 140 version actually has
some decent punch on full 12 V, but they undervolt very well; no bearing noises at
all (so far ;)).

Alternatively, Noctua's NF-A14 FLX, but they are hilariously expensive and you would
have to dye them (don't recommend painting the impeller) if you wanted them red.
For a guide on that, see this thread
 
Thanks four replying so fast i might think of using the bitfenix spectre pro red led i might even decide on buying different types of fans a check them out in real life so that i actually know for myself what fans is the best to use but til now it seems like the bitfenix ones are on a first place until now :D

but your second alternative of painting the noctuas will i keep away from cuss i kinda want to be atin Noctua don't get me wrong they are great fans but the color of them don't rely fit for any kind of case theme, and they are really over priced! and i am on a short budget that i want to keep :(
so yhea we'll see if there is any other thought around this. and thanks again ;)
 
Yeah I contemplated going for Noctuas and dyeing them black, but buying fans for
three quad radiators... not exactly cheap :blink:

They are phenomenal fans though, I'll give'em that.
 
see if you can locate a swiftech helix 140mm fan.
based on the AP-15 120mm fan, they produce a pretty good static, low noise and
drafty amount of air. koolance also has a similar fan I use here in the states called
BGears B-Blaster 140. the koolance number is FAN-14025HBK static is 3.25mm/h2o
