Antec Storm T3 140mm Fan Review

Epilogue

While the Antec Storm T3 120 left a good impression on me, I cannot say that the 140mm model impressed me that much. Given its low maximum speed, its noise output is high, the static pressure is low, and the airflow is high enough, it is not close to the top performers in this category at 20/25/30 dBA. Only at 35 dBA is the fan’s airflow close to the top performers, but this noise level is high enough to use on a regular basis.

Let’s now look at 25 dBA noise normalized performance. I chose 25 dBA because it is low enough not to annoy most users and high enough to allow for speeds that offer decent airflow and static pressure performance.

The Antec fan stays behind the Arctic P14 Max in airflow, not by a large margin, but in static pressure, its performance is the worst among all 140mm fans I used for comparison. The most balanced choice in the 140mm category, combining high airflow and static pressure, is the InWin Neptune AN140, whose 3-fan package costs 35 dollars, 5 dollars less than Antec’s Storm T3 140 3-fan box. Moreover, the AN140 has ARGB lighting.
