case fans, pls help

[javedhaujee]

For case fans which is better the AF or SP series from corsair, am talking exhaust fans and not radiator or  near heat sink.  Pls help

[Daniel Z.]

AF but the 120 series has little CFM difference. If it is SP120 vs AF120 get the SP120

Thanx, my case is nzxt s340 elite am going to replace the rear and upper fan so Sp 120 quiet or high pressure ones.

Can't go wrong with a coolermaster 120mm fan 4 pack

lower db than the AF120 I'm seeing

You're probably going to want airflow for an exhaust fan, though for the most part you probably don't even need an exhaust fan

Just throw a 80 or 92mm Vantec Tornado back there for that lol. Seriously, don't unless you want to sound like a server farm.

May I question, what potentially would be your preference? LED Illumination, low noise output, ect?

 

Although, personally I would upmost certainly recommend of these few [UK Links]

I use of those Auoker fans quite often, highly recommended for a spectacular balance between noise emission, as well as airflow movement [CFM].

 

Would not use Corsair fans unless you desire brilliant quality bearings/motors.

Those are crap.

Specs cannot be reliably compared between different manufacturers. There's no regulation on how fan specs are measured. For the most part, they are bull. Ignore them and look at benchmark and in-depth reviews instead. 

 

AF120's are better than SP120's in most cases that aren't highly restrictive like a rad. That being said, Corsair AF/SP fans tend to hold a premium over other similar or better performing fans.

What's the reason behind replacing the case fans?

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

In what way? They're basic 120mm fans that will get the job done.

Sometimes the cheapo CM fans can be quite decent surprisingly.

 

I tried the Corsair SP120 LED those were crap. Only ones that met my expectations was ML series in 140mm

They don't perform well and aren't that quiet for the performance that it delivers. It's below average.

SP120 LED's aren't great either but at least they're better than the CM R4's.
