Which should I get to replace my intake fans?

I want to run as quiet as possible, but I'm not sure if the loss of pressure/airflow is too huge since I have only 2x 140mm front intake (air flow) vs 1x 140mm rear exhaust (air flow) + 2x 120mm top radiator exhaust (static pressure).

Pretty sure I'd prefer negative pressure, but is there a point where the disparity in pressure is too large and could cause a problem?

Might be dumb question(s).
Nn Ghot answers on this one. :P

Air Series AF fan models perform best in unrestricted spaces with at least 3cm of clearance, and they’re ideal for mounting at the rear or top of your PC case as exhaust fans for your PC’s motherboard and CPU, graphics accelerators, and other components that fill the case with heat. They work equally well as unrestricted intake fans for areas like side panels or bottom intakes.

For high restriction areas like hard drive cages or in other tight spaces where there’s less air volume, check out our Air Series SP models of high static pressure fans.

if you need to run quite as possible then you shouldn't be asking us as its pretty damn obv.
your talking about 1-2C at most if that...

/edit
Also the fan sizes don't matter with this all that matters is the fans CFM.
When were talking air pressure.

Mine would be that cool if I ran my fans at max RPM as well...

I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't have like.. a LACK of airflow with 2x quiet vs 1x quiet + 2x static pressure. Ya know? Maybe I'm retarded. lol

Get the performance, Throw a fan controller in there. That way you can leave them on low % 24/7 except when you need the extra cooling.

I have the Corsair Commander Mini and Corsair Link. I think the lowest I can set fans with that software is 40% :/

They are quiet. If you want some real air flow go buy a pair of ek valdar 2500 rpm fans
