so can you suggest case fans that are of equal or even greater performance to the corsair AF series fans?

the size I'm looking at is 120mm and 140mm and I just want to know if there are other options I can consider as I'm buying a set of fans for my Corsair Carbide 300R and many people tend to tell me just get the AF series fans from corsair...

so simply put corsair is one of "D BEST" if not the best case fans on the market?



while I do not argue they they also provide one of "D BEST" if not the best case fans on the market they sure do look bad with the color of the fans



is it better or equal to to the AF series fans from corsair?



how about the silent wings 2 case fan of be quiet how does it stack up against the AF series fans?

When talking about fans, you are asking to compare not only apple's and oranges, but a whole fruit basket.

What is the best airflow? 120x120x38 Delta fan @ 5200 rpm, but bring serious noise cancelling earphones, they easily reach over 60db(A)...

So, just what are your qualifications as 'best' really. Corsairs have good airflow, but they are quite loud, unless you go the 'quiet' version which has slower speeds and much less air output.

true... sorry for not clarifying about the "specifics"

<25 dba
1500-2500 CFM
may or may not be PWM
in 120mm-140mm sizes
no specific brand provided they provide to the "specifics" and goes well in the black case it'll go in

no LED as I'll be installing a NZXT Hue (solving my hunger for a color change) and the build is grey/black (mostly black as I will be relying on the Hue to provide the color inside the case)

to be fair those are good fans but I already checked with pcpartpicker (as anyone asking for any part regarding aesthetics should do) but they just aren't "good" I guess but thanks for the efforts anyways as I'm just wondering if any new good fan that isn't listed there came out...

oh. huh. not good? 122 cfm from a 140mm fan is a fantastic amount of air, especially at <30db. The BSP also happen to be very good case fans, as are most on that list. Can't speak for all, haven't seen all, but most, but all are equal if not better than the Corsairs since they use Fluid Dynamic Bearings or Rifle bearings (same thing diff name) vrs the corsairs sleeved (Ugh!)
