Looking for Best 140mm White LED Case Fan

turkey3_scratch · Jan 8, 2016

I'm looking for two white LED 140mm case fans. I have two I'm looking at and deciding between and need your input.

Corsair AF140: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-AF140-Edition-Airflow/dp/B00F6S0XK8
NZXT FZ-140mm: http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Technologies-FZ-140mm-Cooling-RF-FZ140-W1/dp/B007TSREFU

I'm thinking Corsair because it lights better, but NZXT does seem to have the noise and airflow advantage. The NZXT though seems to have a higher failure rate judging by customer reviews.

ENERMAX CLUSTER UCCL14 140mm White LED Case Fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6J33S48786. Good fan. all white with a switchable led.

Okay, cool. I was leaning Corsair, especially with their 5 star rating on Amazon, better LEDs. Thanks Blackbird!

Oh, and this question may sound stupid, but in my case, NZXT H440, I'm going to mount two of these on top. Would I screw the fans in from beneath or would I remove the top bezel (if that's what the top of the case is called) and screw down from above?

Also, if you look at the image:

The screw holes are long ovals... Does this mean anything in particular? I've just never seen them not being small circles.

Looks interesting! Also quieter than the other two.

I owned 6 of the enermax in the past and they outperformed and outlasted anything else i had before switching to Noctua. They are good fans.

Actually in that video it completely skips the part about installing the top fans, but I can see that he puts them in from the top, at least I see the screw heads there.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 8, 2016

At about 7 minutes or so you can see he has them mounted.

turkey3_scratch · Jan 8, 2016

I was talking about 4:33, they're not installed, and then poof! Anyway, I think I get it now. Screw in from the top.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 8, 2016

Yes , exactly.

Nice case Scratch.

turkey3_scratch · Jan 8, 2016

It's a great case. I was definitely glad when I got it.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 8, 2016

Love the white cases from NZXT , WILL LOOK GREAT WHEN YOU SET IT UP.

I have a NZXT H630 White with Window.

Post some pics when it's finished.

turkey3_scratch · Jan 8, 2016

I already have it setup. As a matter of fact, I have a whole montage of pics. It even has the mobo you recommended I get! And the 850 G2 PSU!

I'm just looking for some top fans to exhaust hot air when, well, Assassin's Creed.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 8, 2016

Very very nice looks amazing , those LED's will really make it pop.

Congrats.

That's what I was planning, a nice glow in the dark. I just wish my GPU sagged a bit less. The angle of the image makes it look worse than it seems. But oh well, I'll be getting a Pascal/Polaris anyway. Cable management gets difficult with a lot of drives, but it was far worse before.
