    Default [OC3D] Corsair Air Series Fans Review SP120 AF120 Review




    Corsair fans, with different versions for static pressure and case airflow we wonder how good can these really be?

    Nice one Tom, great review. It's actually refreshing to hear something is quieter than the old Noctua's. Maybe these will somehow find their way into my build and I'll see what all the fuss is about first hand.

    Playing catch up with some of your videos Tom, thanks for this review, properly convinced me to pick up a couple of SP120s! Out of interest, would you suggest getting the performance editions and turning them down (or attaching them to my 600T's fan controller), or just getting the quiet edition. Will be on a H50/2500K

    P.S. Will you ever manage to end a video right?

    Just picked up a H100 to replace it, I don't mind the noise so much, but I share you love of white hardware! Will get the QEs then - I assume you can't do push-pull with a H100 in the 600T, the fans are too thick if I remember rightly?

    very good looking and nice performance fans. Price is much better than F12.

    p.s. probably better to amend the price on first page to £18.49 a pair, I thought it was price for each.

    Will give this a read later as I'm interested in getting a few of these but not sure on which to select as yet!

    Thanks.

    At around £10 these fans are pretty decent but you can pick up better for a few quid more like those new Be Quiet! fans or the Scythe GTs.

    Running the 1650rpm 120mm as exhaust at the moment, it's pretty annoying on max speed but fairly quiet on 7 volts.

    These look nice but definitely want to keep it nice and quiet, my AP-15's aren't that bad IMO.

    Better than both of those, plus you have seperate rad/heatsink and case fans.
