I came across this today

http://www.gelidsolutions.com/produc...=2&id=53&tab=2

I can mount 140mm fans on my cooler....hmm.....should I replace my
AP-15

cause it looks like the gelid fan has a static pressure of 1.45mm (aq
~~same as H2O)
and the AP-15 only pushes 0.081mm H2O

are there any other 140mm fans that are pretty silent yet pushing better static pressure? (pretty silent meaning >36-39dba please)

Scythe Sliptream: i love them. Only thing is, Sleeve bearing :S

I'm looking more for static pressure cause higher is better for my heatsink

Very true, but ive heard great things about that bearing they use!

The answer is no, cause the Gelid unit is mm AQ =H2O, however the scythe is in Inch H2O.
1 inch = 25.4mm, the scythe is really 0.081 in X 25.4mm/in = 2.06mm H20 static pressure which is greater than the Gelid.

oh....then that noise blocker fan would loose right?

then are there any better than AP-15 140mm fans out there? >39dba of course

Yes, noisebreaker aren't for radiator or heatsink they more for case fans.
You will have a lot more fan selections for 120mm fans as compared to 140mm fans.
Thermalright TY-140 fan seems to be good choice, but I don't know if it has more static pressure than the Scythe GT A-15.

Are you only restricted to 25mm thickness fan? San Ace probably the best bet for static pressure/noise ratio other than the GT series. Go check ehume's review for fan comparison he did a fine job.

eh...I would like a 140mm and no, I'm not restricted to 25mm thickness....I don't want 120mm fans cause I want a 140mm fan that can use my heatsink to its full ability

You are putting these fans on the Noctua C12? If so...I really don't see the point in such a high powered fan on such a loose fin array heatsink. Even with the stock fan I feel a large amount of air going through the fins to the base. Yet it still does not cool very well.
