Noctua fans are great, but the color schemes are just ... based on my experience, F12 performance is average, GT and Noctua is somewhat better when it comes to fans for rads. Spectre fans from bitfenix is fine, but can't compare with GT & Noctua. Looking forward to give helix a try if someone can sponsor

*Bitfenix Spectre Pro 140s well... there shouldn't be any problems actually, you can try sanding them down with high-grit sandpaper to lessen the paint hehe those interchangeable inner/outer frames are really useful right? not that I can say the same for the LED versions though
