[Solved] LF recommendation for a bright blue led 140mm fan

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components [Solved] LF recommendation for a bright blue led 140mm fan

Hello!

I've built up my case with a bunch of Thermaltake Thunderblade blue LED fans, which are quite bright, a perfect color of blue, and move a good amount of air. Problem: I need a 140mm for the front lower fan, but Thermaltake doesn't make anything for me there.

Can anyone recommend a good bright blue LED 140mm fan that has good airflow, or would I be better off just tossing a 120mm fan in there?

I have the 120mm version of this in my case and it is fairly quiet. The 140mm should be nearly silent due to the slower RPM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835103077

My personal preference would be an Antec Tri-Cool with the 3 speed switch. Good luck finding one though.

I actually have 2 of those exact same CM fans. I wanted to replace them because they don't move as much air as the Thunderblades, and are not nearly as bright.
