Hi, i have a quick question here: I want two noctua 140mm fans, either noctua NF-A14 FLX or NF-A14 PWM. They will be be connected to the motherboard so that i can control them. Which one should i go with, what are the pros and cons? and most important: which one is more controllable (speed wise)?
 
Solution
The PWM has a higher top speed, and will push more air. It will be louder, but not too much louder, and again, only at max speed. I would go with that if you're going for airflow. The PWM version also will have a lower starting speed, assuming you plug into a 4 pin header.

I think ill go with the PWM version, just a bit more expensive but whatever . Thank you again HiTechObsessed for being so helpful especially on my last thread about splitting fan headers :)
