ML corsair fans or Noctua fans

[Touzong]

As the title says. I am stuck on which one to buy. Noctua industrial version and ml corsair fans are about the same price so may I ask which one performs more quiet/better?

The ML you would be able to easily remove the fan blade for cleaning. For overall quality I'd probably say the noctua, hard to beat one of the industry leaders and they typically offer the longest (6yr) warranty. Which size fans are you comparing and will they be used as case fans, radiator fans?

  ■ Noctua has better endurance in dust and damp environment (IP67 model), if you have 24V DC power regulator you must buy this http://noctua.at/en/nf-a14-industrialppc-24v-3000-ip67-pwm model, can set 3000 RPM ( the best push fan for water cooling radiator and CPU heat sink)
  ■ ML has predicted longer life span (bearing design), wider RPM speed adjustment. I own ML 14 series and NF A 14, at 60% RPM the ML is quitter, at 100% RPM both of them noisy.

Go for ML If you run 24/7 server, go for NF IP67 if you on off shore oil rig.

gonna get 2 120 for the radiator, 140 for the back and 3 120 for the front. Case h440

what do u mean off shore oil rig? is the 3000 or 2000 noctua fan better?

IP67 is dust and water sprinkle resist industrial certification, 67 refer to total dust resist and water submerge down to 1 meter, IP (ingress protection) , the noctua at 3000 RPM will come handy if you have radiator which is optimize for high speed fan (usually >30 fin per inch rad), I never set ML to 3000 (don't know if possible) at 80% PWM the three 120 ML on coolstream SE 360 keep my i7 6900K and Titan X cool.

With that fan setup the radiator fans would benefit from being static pressure optimized. The exhaust fan an airflow fan would work well. The intake fans airflow would probably work but if looking for balanced airflow or positive case airflow (more air pulled in than exhausted out) you may want to consider sp fans for the front to compensate for the dust filter. The h440 is known to be a little restrictive for front intake fans. Nothing major, it's not like the system will overheat or anything but there might be a couple degrees difference depending on the fans used.

Here's a comparison of some cases to get an idea of where the h440's airflow falls with other cases.

Hm a more balance... What about keep the 3 h440 stock fans up front, 1 140 af on the back and 2 sp for the raid (100v.2) on top////// or 3 sp 120 on front one ml/Noctua 140 on th back and 2 sp with the raid on top? Srry I'm still knew to case building....
