Originals are at 2300+ RPM. QE's are at 1450, the LEDs are at the same RPM as QE.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

I have 1 AF120 quiet edition red led. They are bright. One other good thing I guess is that the impellers are designed that if you have negative pressure the air can get sucked through an intake AF120 and make less of a vacuum noise imo.

That's interesting.

I bought a twin-pack of red led AF120s and now after one month of usage they are sitting in their box ready to be thrown away.

Not only they are loud as hell, they also make this vacuum noise which is unbearable.A second person said the exact same thing as well.

 

Worst 25 euros i have ever spent.

I was wondering if buying Corsair AF LED or Bitfenix LED PWM (non Pro). You solved my issue, thanks :P

PS: I still feel sorry for you :/ I was tempted by them too since they seems good on paper and with very bright LEDs

AF LED exist only as Quiet edition, there is no Performance version right now.

The curious fact is that LED Quiet edition are NOT the same as non-LED Quiet, their specs are a halfway between Quiet and Performance. Wierd.

Actually, the quiet edition naming is just a myth since they go up to 2200 rpm. And they are LOUD!

 

Stay away from them.

Afaik they reach only 1500 RPM 120mm fan and 1200 on 140mm. I'm talking about LED edition, just to be clear.
