For those who want a quick answer as to whether to buy these or not, yes just buy them.Performance:These fans are fantastic for performance. I used to have zalman fans on my case that would push air like someone blowing through a straw. Corsair AF120 made a hige difference. I combined these two with two SP120's and i reduced my GPU, and CPU temps by 5 degrees celcius.Looks:Oh yes they are very pretty. I am a lover of all things purple and these work great in a black pc case. Be aware they are not overly bright but do give a nice purple glow out of the vents of the pc.Price:My friends all agreed that the price i paid for these were very cheap compared to most high end case fans and these are only slightly weaker in performance than seriously high end case fans.

I was looking for extra case fans and Corsair was always my first choice for this new build.These are great for the price and they light up...who doesn't want am RGB driven case these days.I was unsure if they were official fans because of the price but it was all light. The box/packaging was great, veey neat and tidy with 3 fans and 3 sets of screws.I installed only 2 and it was simple to do. The only issue I had was making sure I had enough case fan connectors on my motherboard.After installing the fans and new 2070 SUPER GPU, it was time to fire it up. Everything powered up and ran normally. I went into the BIOS to reconfigure the fans to make sure they had all be recognised.They were load to start as the fan spokes are big,

Theres 2 things that people need to understand about fans that is not really made clear.High Airflow or High Static Pressure?I'll explain here so you can make the right decision by buying these or the SP120 (high static pressure version)High Airflow is for unobstructed (just a grill or air filter) and will push air a long distance very quickly.High Static Pressure is when you are pushing through tight spaces such as CPU heatsinks, tight/angled pc grills (like in corsair carbide 270R front grills or similar.I got these specifically for a cryptocurrency mining rig to clear hot air near my graphics cards (see images)

Needed a new fan for my case as my old one stopped spinning properly and was making a lot of noise. Browsed for fans that claimed to be 'quiet' and this one seemed a decent price and was well reviewed.Overall I'm happy with the fan, it's by no means silent, there is a low audible whir but with headphones or music on you wouldn't know. Does get a bit louder when at full speed but it takes the air out of my case at a decent rate and keeps the temps down.My only issue is, unlike other fans I've owned it doesn't come with the air-flow arrows on the housing showing you which way the air will travel through the fan (push/pull).

These are vastly quieter than the Corsair fans that come bolted to the Corsair 230T case. Whilst not “silent” at full speed, they are not deafening, and are very quiet when run at about 7 to 8V. This still provides enough airflow to keep my system temps stable during heavy gaming, and the Blue LED version I chose look pretty good.These will turn even at extremely low voltages like 4.0V, where they do become completely undetectable. Only the LED illumination gives any clue they are spinning. This setting provides adequate airflow for general desktop use. Very pleased with them.Only minor quibble is the housing on the set that turned up do match the picture. They are clear transparent,

These fans were a replacement for my old aerocool shark fans that were deafening and had a rattle, after installing the corsair air series, at 50% speed along with my corsair h80i on quiet mode, I keep going into my room thinking "Is my pc switched off?" I had been using my old fans for over 2 years and I had got used to their noise. These are so quiet I am shocked, they are barely audible. Such that when I now listen to music on my open backed headphones, music is much more crisp and clear. They look beautiful with the leds. I am so happy with them. Anyone want my old fans? :-p Oh yes, my cpu idle temps have dropped significantly too,

Have 6 of these in my PC now (both SP and AF series fans). I use these alongside a Corsair H60 CPU liquid cooler. The temperature of my i7 6700k (when not overclocked) hovers at around 20 C (between 16 C and 25 C) at idle. I control the fans via Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard.The fans are attached using both Noctua and Acousti anti-vibration fan mounts (noctua ones were too big to hold the top case fans so I went for Acousti too which so far seems good). My PC runs so quietly with these fans! I think the main source of sound is coming from the single Corsair SP fan I have (attached to the radiator) so perhaps I'll upgrade that one to a quiet Noctua fan and my whole rig will be silent!

I bought this with a few others to change the fan arrangement in my case. I used this as one of two intakes which blows directly into the case (the other being the Static Pressure variant for a single radiator) and it's really good. After swapping all my fans out for the new arrangement I saw my temperatures drop by almost 20 degrees all over - brilliant!The colour is really good too, the red shines through my dust filter nicely and gives the room an ominous glow when it's dark.I think it's great and even though there's alternatives, these are the nicest, quietest, and coolest.***If you found my review helpful please don't forget to mark it as helpful below, thanks!***

Bought 1 of these along with 2 140mm and a 120mm from the static pressure range (also blue LED) for my new gaming rig, nice air flow, thanks to my fan controller they are quiet when I need them to be, while I'm gaming I don't really mind a bit of fan noise, normally drowned out anyway from the sound effects on said games, wouldn't suggest these fans if you don't have a controller as they aren't the quietest at full tilt which is where the uncontrolled speeds tend to be, if you are looking for a controller to go with your new fans, I'd recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008XC4LK2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (mine)

Recently the fans on my desktop had been playing up, when browsing for a replacement i came across these. Corsair have always been a great company for providing PC parts for myself and these did not dissapoint.For the price they are powerful and quiet enough to keep my desktop cool and not interfere with any tasks.They come with all the screws and parts you need and are a quick install due to their size fitting most cases.The selection of LED colours is also nice and provides great lighting for your desktop for great aesthetic.Went ahead and bought 4 which looks really good on my Desktop both in light and dark lighting.

I upgraded by computer to be able to run VR using the Oculus Rift and wanted to make sure that everything kept cool. I installed two of these fans in the side of the case. They are controlled by the ASUS fan control built into the motherboard and work brilliantly. Most of the time the system is not running at full speed and the fans run slowly and silently. When I need the speed these fans produce the airflow I need without a lot of noise. In fact really all you can hear is the actual airflow rather than the fan mechanics. Due to this I actually bought two more and installed them in the top of the case!

Before using this I was using the stock fans that came with my case. I purchased these because corsair have always been very reliable and who doesn't want LED's in their case. They were very easy to install and they look very nice in cases that have a viewing window. I now have one as an exhaust and one at the top. Since installing these my GPU temp has been 19 idol and only 45 Max while in game (games like battlefield 4 And dead rising 3 which are power hogs) This is very impressive as I only have two of these with a stock fan at the front acting as intake.

Purchased this to replace an Arctic one which was making an annoying whining noise. Be aware that this is a three pin 120 mm case fan, therefore not PWM. After installation, it was fixed at 1500 rpm and sounded like a chill blast. I had to purchase one of those Zalman Fan Mate 2 Speed Controllers - 3 Pin Fans Only (required no external power) from ebay for a few pounds, and was well worth it!!! My PC is very, very quiet. I turned the dial down just at the threshold where the noise disappeared, but not to a minimum as air cooling is important. Many thanks.

Good product, looks good and moves lots of air.Unfortunatelly, I was going to install these on my Corsair 300R only to find the screw holes in the front of the case are nowhere near big enough for the screws included in these, dissapointing really, but I improvised and got it fitted, but I will replace it with an AF140 and proper screws in the future.A good product if you want extra case fans to improve ventilation, quiet on normal mode, but on maximum RPM, it does make a bit of noise.The leds are powerful and bright, looks good even in daylight!

Have two of these fans in the top of my PC case extracting heat. They look really cool with the blue neon and they are very quiet. My only issue was which way to place them in order to suck air out than push air in, but after a quick Googling I found out the right way. Have bought other cheaper brand fans before and the neon blew my PC fuse, but had no problem with these. Easy to install, so long as you know where to connect them, but make sure they are the right size for your case before buying (made that mistake myself in the past) Recommended.
