I've been looking at different 140 fans to replace the crappy ones that came with the x60. I'll be doing a push/pull setup and using shrouds(heard they help with noise and performance slightly). My case has gentle typhoon ap-14's so I like it rather quiet. Was first looking at the noctua's, but have kinda settled on the akasa viper 140's. The cfm, air pressure, and low db makes them look top notch. Can't find much info on them online besides the manufacturers specs. Just curious if anyone has used these or is there another fan I should look into. Thanks!

The fans u chose are great upgrades and would help in a great performance increase
But for me these are the best when coupled with gasket
These fans are quiter and have 7 cfm more airflow
Best fans

What is the air pressure rate on those, I know that's a big deal for rad fans.

Why Push-Pull? the x60 rad is too thin to see any real benefit from this. I'v just replaced the two fans for my x60 with a pair of NOCTUA INDUSTRIALPPC NF-A14 IPPC-3000 PWM 140X140X25MM, 4-PIN PWM, 3000RPM MAX, IP52 FANs. They dropped the temps at load by an average of 4 degrees celsius and are much quieter at full speed and allmost silent in my case under normal running.
