Hi all,
I would like to equip my recent NANO² setup with better suited 140mm frontal intake fan.
However, till now, I was really disappointed by 140 fans I've tried :
Target is to get 60CFM/100m3h at minimal noise level.
Here are the fans I've already identified :
No noctua. PPC are way too powerful/noisy, standard are ugly and redux are redux..
What will be your choice or advice?
Thank you for your advice/support
I would like to equip my recent NANO² setup with better suited 140mm frontal intake fan.
However, till now, I was really disappointed by 140 fans I've tried :
- Corsair AF 140 Quiet edition : Max rpm : 1150rpm, 67.8cfm. Motor noise really painful when rpm are running up...
- Fractal Design HF14: max rpm 1200rpm, 118CFM : even worse than corsair motor noise
Target is to get 60CFM/100m3h at minimal noise level.
Here are the fans I've already identified :
- Noise blocker NB e-loop 140mm :
-
- I'm hesitating between :
- B14-2 @900rpm , 109m3h, 16.9db
- B14-3 @1400rpm , 178m3h, 28,7db
- B14-PS PWM @1200rpm, 142m3h, 24db
- I'm always scared of PWM as additionnal electronics usually make the fan louder
- I'm also noticing that higher rpm fans are not at ease to spin at low rpm silently
- Anyway this fan looks great...i truly like the style, and noiseblocker has very good quality reputation
- also note thickness of this fan : 29mm
- B14-2 @900rpm , 109m3h, 16.9db
- Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 140mm
-
- 6-pole fan motor is BIG + for smoother operation
- 1000rpm, 101m3h, 15,5db, less air pressure/flow than noiseblocker but quieter.
- Strangely PWM and DC version are completely identical...that's weird, makes me suspicious about pwm version
- I like globally fan design. My only blocking point is this sticker in middle on it..
No noctua. PPC are way too powerful/noisy, standard are ugly and redux are redux..
