Verdict

be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly adequate budget 140mm fan, but the rifle bearing means it's not the one to buy for a decade of runtime.

Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A sensible budget 140mm pick when you want Noctua's fit and finish without paying for the flagship A-series.
