Hi!

 

How are the Corsair AF140 and SP140 fans.

 

How good do the AF140 move air through the case?

 

How good is the Corsair SP140 at radiators?

As I only have experience with the AF140's I'll keep my opinion to those only.

They're not as quiet as I hoped hem to be, though I'm very happy with the product overall. Loving the colored rings/looks and it does it's job well.

I have AF and SP in my case but all are the quite editions.

AF: since its the quite edidtion it is very quite at max speed which is about 1000RPM with my MB and they move a fai amount of air.

 

SP: i think is great for cases with restrictions like H440.

It will work better than an Af on a radiator but i have put Noctua on my radiator due to the SP not being completely square and the Noctua are and perform a little better.

My purple led AF140's seem to be just fine, at least compared next to my noctua 140's and cougar 120's, all running at max speed.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

I have wanted to buy some for my new case, people keep talking me out of it. They look really nice, but people keep telling me they are loud. I thought that the only difference between quiet edition and regular was the stock RPM they were shipped with, I don't think it has any special quiet features.

 

I'm still considering them for me new case, honestly I don't think anything could be louder than what I have now lol.

Okay and kinda terrible. SP120's have bad noise to performance ratios. AF140 QE's are okay.

 

 

Decent enough, louder than it needs to be though.
