Krillin82 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hello, I am looking to replace the 2 front case fans(140mm x 25mm 3 pin female connection) since the bearings are going out. Does anyone have any recommendations weather on newegg or the Corsair site? I am looking at Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap premium-grade quiet 140mm fan(item# 9SIAADY6HZ2209); Corsair CO-9050034-WW Air Series SP140 140mm Red LED High Static Pressure Case Fan (item# 9SIA1K63UR1475) or any other recommendations for case fans that is 140mm. Or if there are recommendations on 4pins (adapters as well). This would be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Either is fine if you have the dust filter in place. If you are running without it, you could get by with a thinner blade (less noise) higher flow fan like an AF140. This is essentially what you have now, although the retail version is more aesthetically pleasing and has a heavier frame. DC vs PWM only matters for control. Many fan controllers can only do 3 pin DC. Nearly all motherboard headers can do either. PWM fans can typically run down as low as 25% while most DC fans need tricks to go below 60% of maximum. *Since the SP140 LED fans are DC voltage, the LED will also dim as you reduce the speed/voltage. PWM LED/RGB fans do not do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
