Just wondering if anyone has any of the Corsair Af140 and Sp 140 led fans? Looking at getting 1 Sp led fan and 2 AF led fans. The AF 140 looks like they are good as far as performance but what about the Static pressure fans?

The 1 Sp fan would go at the bottom front of my 780t. In front of the hard drive cage. Are they good or should I look for something else?

I picked up a AF120 blue LED fan and was not happy. Out of the 2 case fans + 970gtx + 92mm cpu fan, it was the loudest. The asus motherboard is keeping speeds low but you can easily hear it wind up and down. Also the LEDs are mounted on the edge and light up the fan externaly. This means they leak light all over the place as well, should have gona with LEDs mounted on a stationary part of the hub.

I have some sp120 fans. Out of the box they are ok at mid-high speeds. The lower speeds are somewhat problematic. Like a clicking/fluttering sound. I made some rc filters for the pwm wire and this made them quieter.

I actually took to flat lining the fan speed in asus's fan controller since the case never gets too hot anyways thus solving the audible issue of the fan. My new case is actually the first time my fans are all on header, before all my fans were on molex connectors.
