Help choosing a BRIGHT white 140mm fan?

I got help with the rest of the fans, now I only need help finding a bright white led fan for the XL R2 

 

I am looking at

What I want to do is put a VERY bright led fan in the front so it glows out the side air vents (the front is covered by a sound dampening door) As to give the case some presence, while not being flashy.

 

but EVEN WITH the sound proof padding on the front door, I worry about noise, and don't want a loud fan to risk that.

I personally have specter pros and they're quiet and push quite a bit of air. I've never used any other fan so I can't vouch for them, but the specters are good to me. 

I like the corsairs

those are 200mm fans...I an only use 140mm with this case.

`is there a reason why?

 

I read that some people love them and that some people say that they are cheap junk that can go burn in-'

 

many mixed views

...anyone have any views on the high CFM fans?

They are not my go to fan but out of the ones on your list they are the ones I like. I usually buy BeQuiet fans but if you want LED's then those are not for you.

Been looking at those WHITE LED BitFenix Spectre Pro myself. They got good reviews. Think I will order some and see how they perform.

only the front fans would be led, the rest are going to be regualr fans...

 

I cannot seem to find any of their 140mm fans anywhere though.

BeQuiet stuff is hard to come by in the states.

here is a link

Specters come in 120,140, and 200.

The only fans I've bought I havent been able to use because of bad screws in my case. So i'm not going to vouch for them.

But I can say that the Sickleflows from CM are beautiful fans. I don't know much about other's experience, but my friend has about 8 of them in his case and I can't hear them at all but put your hand in front of an exhaust and there's quite a bit of pressure there. He also uses Silverstone AirPenetrators on the push side of his H100i rad and he is quite ridiculous with his OC (I don't know numbers, last time I saw it it was roughly 5Ghz on either and IvyBridge i7 Unlocked or SandyBridge-E Unlocked)

I also believe CM is releasing an updated series to the Sickleflows soon, if not already out there.

My friend with a FT03 swears by the SilverStone Air Penetrators, and if you know that case, it only has top and bottom fan support. 

I haven't been able to find the sicklyflows in 140mm...

I am trying to install only 140mm fans to keep noise down and air flow up...

 

the two front led fans I want to be bright...brightest possible...the bitfinix is apparently very bright...

The reason for that is because I want the light to glow out the side-front vents...to give the computer more presence...without being flashy/show-offy

The rest must be 140mm, so I can get the better airflow.

-oh thank you.

now, would I benefit from the lower noise, even with all the sound padding in this case?

You could also look into Cougar Vortex they are supposed have insane CFM and you can get LED versions as well

I was reading a LOT of conflicting reviews of that one...I already looked into that fan previously.

I don't intend to send them back when they start whining...

 

I think I am set with the "Silent Wings 2" fo solid fans

 

now I'm looking for a good bright led fan

OP just grab a led strip (like this) for the inside face of the front panel of the case running along side the front fan. If you find it too bright just put a dot of tape over every second light.

The light from a single led fan isnt going to spread out like you want. Fans with leds retain the most of the light for themselves.

I bought the Xigmateks and I would not recommend them. I don't feel like they moved anywhere near as much air as claimed, and I don't think they are as quiet as claimed. Also, one of the two fans that I got started making a rattling noise within a few weeks of use. The LEDs were not that bright and I did have the white ones. Overall, I would advise you to steer clear. That being said, I still think they look cool, hahaha.

Also, I have a Corsair AF 140 Red LED. I really like all of the Corsair fans that I've used (SP 120, AF 120 Red LED, AF 140 Red LED), and I don't know how they receive a lot of the negativity that they do. Maybe I've just had good luck across six different fans. Anyway, my experience has been that they move a good amount of air at very reasonable noise levels. I don't notice the noise at anything less than 60-70% load. The LEDs are not necessarily bright, but they do cast a very even glow across a surprisingly large area. The fact that the fan blades are clear really help the light spread out. Again though, I have the red LED, not the white. Hope this helps!

lol, thanks, I will stay away from them then!
