Hey techies!

I have just built a PC and am looking forward to running games at the very top spectrum of performance.
However, when I start to overclock and fiddle with the settings I want to make sure that my components get the best cooling possible.

-I will have a Corsair H100i rad for my CPU but in addition to this I am looking to setup, two 120mm/140mm intake fans on the front of my case.

Do I go for the Corsair AF series fans or the new industrial ppc Noctua fans?
Please compare them in terms of:

-Longevity
-Price/Performance
-Noise
-CFM

Please feel free to recommend any other products that you think I should have a look at!

****PLEASE DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT PRICE ON THIS COMPARISON****

Depending on the size and RPM spec, with the industrials, you're looking at CFMs between 71.7 and 158.5. Obviously, if you run them at top speed, they're going to be louder, but you can run them a lot lower and have LOTS of CFM on call when you need it.

Personally, I think the NF-A14 industrial 2000 RPM is the way to go. 107.4 CFM is plenty of air for most systems and they'll run quieter than the 120s. They top out at around 32 dbA.
