NF-Pc 4s Redux vs SP140 led

[steverebo]

Ok I've cureentry got 4 corsair sp140 led case fans attached to my h110 in push pull mainly to increase airflow in my h440 case.

I've come across these new notua case fans the NF-P14s 1500rpm fans that have higher static pressure and on paper are listed as 5db quieter.

Worth the trade or not???

It's the kind of thing i'd do if I thought it was going to work better aesthetically as well. Corsair fans always sell well on ebay or to friends, i'm too scared to think how many fans i've owned in the past 3 years, it must be over 40 maybe 50

I'm the same with entire rig's. This is my 3rd complete rebuild in the last 12 months.

I've never bought noctua maiy because of that vomit and poo colour scheme but these new ones are more asphetically pleasing so I just want to know are they as quiet as they claim

Thread from the dead, but I've been looking at exactly this question.

The Noctuas have greater airflow, greater static pressure, and less noise than the SP140 LED fans, based on manufacturers specifications. So I'll definitely be using four Noctuas on my H110.

Also really really pleased that the prosthetic limb slathered in faeces colour scheme isn't going to be an issue any more.

go for Nf-F12

you need focused flow is much better. It's industrial and will work for many years without problems, even underwater it has a mechanism to stop and is not damaged the problem is it comes without equipment (in the old days they had everything inside) to plug it directly to the PSU so also need and:

they consume 1,2 W 0,1 A practically nothing and you can add 4 of them in line in the same 12 volts rail is something fire and forget.

will show you the normal fans don't blow the air right and in low speed can make the hot air come back inside in cycles you need focused flow.
