Corsair’s new lines of fan are divided into AF – for airflow in open-air setups – and SP, or static pressure-oriented fans, more designed for placement adjacent to radiators or other areas where airflow is tight. The fans we’re looking at today are the 120mm SP range:
Can’t get your coloured ring to sit properly on your new Corsair fan? You’re not alone – we’ve had a few customers find it difficult getting their rings to sit correctly in the fans.
We have a handful of the new Corsair fans in for testing – initial results look promising.
The SP line are optimised for static pressure, which means they’re ideal for use on cooling radiators or other places where there is restricted airflow, like storage chassis’ or behind narrow grilles. This is in contrast to the other new fans from Corsair’s – the AF line – which are better suited for more open-air use. One nifty feature is that each fan comes with red, white and blue coloured rings to match your system colour scheme – a nice nod towards those of us who build colour-coordinated systems.
