Best quiet/performance 140mm fans for radiator. EK-Vardar EVO?

[Despotes]

No Gentle Typhoons in 140mm . How do the EK-Vardar EVO fans compare to the discontinued Vardar F2-140?
I need 4 for my Nemesis 560GTX. Quiet. High static pressure in the 500-1500rpm-ish range and aren't crazy expensive.

Not sure what 'expensive' means to you but I use a push only setup on my 2x 280mm rads with 4 of these: Noctua SSO2 Bearing Fan Retail Cooling NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM

I rigged up a fan controller and run at around 1300RPM, sounds great. Will I use the extra 700RPM? Probably not, but I like the option

Thanks. I can't find any reviews comparing those to the Vardars, Silent Wings 3 or Noiseblocker e-loops. After researching those fans I found out my Swiftech fans suck, in a bad way. So, 7 fans in all for my radiators. $$

Phantek PH-F140XP' what i went with for a second build i did. I got lucky and got them for sale on amazon I used them
on a 420 rad. They have been impressively quiet. Also i love the long ass cord.

The other comp which also has a 420 in it i went with the Noctus NF-A14. My problem with them and the reason i
didn't use them for the second build is the pitch. When they get up to around 1500ish rpm the sound pitch not loud mind u just
high and annoying,

The next set of 140's i am fixing to try out are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WB9MG00/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They have them for 12 bucks a piece. I just got them in not had a chance to hook them up yet.

p.s Freaking rads aren't the expensive piece like i thought it be... Its all the damn fans !!!!

Thermalbench has tested them, but not on same graphs because of speed differerenes.

Thermalbench has a review of the Corsair ML140 which closely parallels the Vardar. I may go this route since it has better bearings. Too many complaints about the quality of the Vardars.

The best fans would be GTs with 140mm shrouds, no joke.

rosewill hyperboria are okay, a bit loud (wind noise) at mid-high rpm, though.

Noiseblockers NB-eloop fans are amazing. But only as push fans. they make a strange whine, as a pull fan.
