Best 140mm fan?

Hello, first post here ;)
Currently I have a NZXT switch 810 with a coolgate 420mm rad mounted in the top of the case with 3x140mm aerocool shark fins pushing (96 cfm) and 3x140mm prolimatech blue vortex pulling (87cfm). I have blowing air in a coolermaster 140mm fan in the rear spot, and 4 x NZXT (62.5cfm) fans at the bottom front and front fan spots. Rest of the system in sig. The "problem" I am having is when folding over night my temps get up to the mid 50s on both the GPU and CPU, case temps get up to around 35c and the air coming out of my radiator is quite warm. So I believe I do not have enough airflow across the radiator, and also possibly not enough airflow into my case. I am looking to upgrade the radiator fans or atleast get 3 more aerocools pulling so I have 6 of the same fan on the radiator. I have been researching 140mm fans pretty in depth lately, and it looks like the aerocool shark fins are a pretty good choice with high static pressure. Any other options out there?
 
Well, first of all those temps are perfectly fine. Second, the temp increase is because your ambient us rising. Finally, the best fans for 140mm rads are 120mm gentle typhoons with adapters - no joke.
 
Thanks for the reply, I have been looking around some more and seems my CPU temps are quite good, I just upped my OC on the i5 to 5.02 at 1.43v and its running 55c with intel burn test on maximum :) Maybe I am just looking for reasons to upgrade fans lol. And I dont have room for fan adaptors, my push fans are about a quarter inch away from my motherboard. So possibly the only change I should make is higher cfm intake fans to get more fresh air in? Since going by adding CFMs I have approx 280 cfm coming in and 300ish cfm of air going out, when I think your supposed to have positive case pressure?
 
I haven't seen any good 140mm fans that are outright better than the rest. Martin's 140mm fan test does say that the Aerocool Sharks have better sounding sound than most other 140mm fans (usually resonance issues).
