Best Radiator Fans

[Rav2]

Hi there,

I'm in the market for new fans to mount on my radiator and I have chosen Noctua fans for their legendary performance. I'm torn between two fans: Noctua NF-A14 and NF-A14 industrialPPC. I don't really understand the difference between these two fans and I was hoping the community can help me in deciding the best fans for my radiator.

Thanks

My Cooler is a NZXT Kraken X61
Case: Corsair Vengeance C70

P.S. If you know any fans that works better than these Noctuas, suggestions are appreciated.

Get the Noctua NF-A14. The other one is higher speed and "ruggedized" for Industrial applications. I suspect it costs a bit more, runs faster and is less quiet.

Yeah the industrial fans are more expensive, but they have higher static pressure. Which I been told is better for radiators.

Any fan running at 3,000 rpm will have more pressure than a fan running at 2,000 rpm.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I need 140mm fans because my radiator is 280mm.
