Noctua and Corsair Case fans

[DarkTron]

Hey guys!

I need some new case fans for my NZXT H440 PC case. Performace is not that important. But they need to be as silent as possible. So my questions are:

1.) What is better/quiter: Noctua NF-something or Corsair AF-something

2.) Which models should I take?
a.) For Noctua: NF-F12 PWM or S12A PWM/FLX/ULN; NF-A14 PWM/FLX/ULN?
I really have no idea which of those are for what. Or should I take their P14S or S12B?
b.) For Corsair: AF 120/140 Quiet Edition?

So, any suggestion are highly appreciated

Corsair: AF 120/140 Quiet Edition < Great case fans , what I have in 2 of my setups.

Not loud at all.

I have had both companies fans in a Corsair Obsidian 750D, and from my experience, the Noctua NF-A14 PWM was the quieter of the models you have listed.

Does you motherboard fan control take 3 pin or 4 pin PWM case fans?

Yes, I've had both and if it's for radiators Noctua's do the job better both ways. The AF-F12 is a focused flow fan concentrating that air on the rad and it is auiter fan than the Corsair, not to leave it's a better built one complete with 6 year warranty.
