corsair af140 vs gentle typhoon ap-15

[ironforge]

Has anyone owned both of these units? Specification wise the AF-140 looks like a better unit? I am looking at replacing the rear 140mm fan of my corsair 800D case.

Gentle Typhoon AP-15
1,850 rpm
28 dBA
57.68062 CFM

Corsair AF-140
1150 RPM
24 dBA
67.8 CFM

Below 1000 rpm, fan differences don't matter as much, but you may find that you like the sound of the Corsair over the AP's, also at that speed you should look into a ap-13, not 15.

For an exhaust fan I would go with the corsair, you won't need the static pressure of the GT's for that purpose.

I concur. The GT shines when put up against some restriction, but when pure unrestricted airflow is the requirement there are better options.
