kraken x40 vs nepton 140 xl

[Thiagospeedy]

guys
I'll buy one of the two next month, and I would like you to express your opinion which you guys prefer,

I know 140XL is the most powerful, but it is also the loudest

depending on the X40 Review, it is as good as a H100i other is below the H80i, but it has good construction and software to control the cooler speed.

The price is almost the same.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Kraken X40 in this machine and I"m very happy with it.

If you don't like the fans on the Nepton, you can always change them out for better units. Also, the Nepton is going to be revised to resolve the loud fan issue. They're supposed to be re-released later on this year. Overall, I'm a little more impressed with the Nepton 140XL.

Which fan (120/140mm) would you recommend to me that is silent and efficient ?

Well, the Jetflo's aren't really anything special, other than the fact, they push quite a bit of air. So pretty much any fans that can run at the same rate of speed, and do it quieter would do. I lean more towards the Corsairs and Xigmatek myself. But they're not the only ones that run fast enough, while lowering their sound.

To best the Jetflo 140's you need to match or best the fan speed and flow.
Fan Speed- 800~2000 RPM
Fan Airflow- 54~122.5 CFM

After that, try to find fans with a low db point..
Fan Noise- 21~39 dBA (x2 which is why they're considered to be loud, you're doubling the noise of the fans.)

If you go with the Corsair AF140 Quiet edition, for example, you'd have no problem besting the Jetflo 140's. they run quiet and push lots of air in a push-pull config.
