    Ok so Thursday's pay day and I'm probably going with one of these http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product_info.php/info/p9698_Phobya-G-Changer-560.html

    as its the biggest rad I can fit in the TJ11 without going to a chiller or something crazy, so my question is are there any decent 140mm fans for rads?

    I've seen phoyba have the 140mm fans that go with the radiator above, does anybody know if there any good?

    I've also seen silverstone's 140mm AP's, but I've heard these aren't particularly good when used in conjunction with a radiator for whatever reason, although I have seen people use them with radiator's, so should I go for either of the above or perhaps Gentle Typhoon 120mm with 140mm adaptor's? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Akasa Vipers 140mm

    or the Silverstone AP (as you mentioned)

    Bloody hell thats very yellow, shocking at first I must say, but its growing on me, you heard/read any reviews on either the akasa vipers or heard anything more than I have about using the AP's in conjunction with a radiator buddy?

    This is totally weird I cannot find any reviews on either and I've been searching for a while. The Akasa vipers I've only found 1 customer review and a couple of reviews for the the 120mm version but nothing for the 140mm. Sorry

    There's a review of a few fans here

    It looks as though the AP-15s with adapters perform well.

    I'm suprised that AP's work well, as although they do the channelling thing they have fairly low static pressure. GT's with a adapter will probably be your best bet.
