140mm fan #12 - NZXT Performance 140mm Fan FN-140RB:



These are pretty much exactly the same as NZXT DF1402512SEMN which are the stock fans of alot of NZXT cases, including the Switch 810. As you can see the stats are almost identical, the exception being the pull noise. I should state that I use the same fan in pull that I use in push to maintain consistency in every test. While push and push/pull performed exactly the same as the other NZXT product, the pull did not. It actually generated more noise than any other operating mode. I would suspect a faulty fan in this scenario but since the data I got from push and p/p modes are consistent with the other fan, I really don't know what to make of it.

I think it was the FN series that I remember many people complaining about. I wonder if the FZ ones make the same noise..

The FZ is the newer fan series from NZXT listed with an impressed airflow at full blast (1000 rpm).

The fan has a bit loud motor noise at full blast, but it's quiet at 800 rpm.
I'm also quite sure that the listed airflow is exaggerated. LOL

My other Cougar Vortex HDB 140mm (1200rpm) seems quieter than the FZ.

There isn't much info about these fans on Cougar's website. I assume these are the OEM version of their Vortex series of fans. They are much more plain and without any cable sleeving, they look cheaper as well. Still, for 5 bucks a pop, you could do alot worse, considering that they are really quiet in push mode and have excellent cooling efficiency. Recommended.

Actually the CF-T14S 140mm and the CF-T12S 120mm are their Turbine series of fans.

I'm quite sure the Turbine fans are the stock fans from the Cougar Solution and the Cougar Evolution cases.

140mm fan #13 - In Win DFS132512L:



These are the stock fans of the In Win Dragon Slayer chassis and probably alot of other cases from the manufacturer.

Well, these are pure and simple OEM case fans that don't even have a 3-pin fan connector, as a result of that, there was no way for me to gauge the speed. Judging by the noise levels though, I would assume that it's ticking just under 1000 RPM. It's an extremely quiet fan and because of that, the cooling performance suffers quite a bit. The efficiency is still very good and it didn't get much louder in pull than it usualy does in push mode.

140mm test results have been updated at post #1. Everything should be there for you to view and compare. I hope you guys can appreciate how much time and money I'm putting into this project.

I bought a Cougar CF-V14HB to use as a side intake fan on my CM 690 II Advanced; I actually found it pretty loud even with the resistor cable. It could be the amount of air it's moving though. Would be interesting to see how it performs compared to the 120mm version.

You should try a spacer (dead fan hub works). Probably the noise is coming from the fan grills being too close to the blades.
