I never normally bother leaving a review but I felt I should as this product has some pros but also some cons. And with things like case fans these need to be addressed.First of all. Fitting the damn things. I don't know who at corsair thought it would be a good idea not to pre thread the screw holes. You have to thread them with the screws which if you are like me and don't have an electric screwdriver is a pain and requires a fair bit of effort. The amount of pressure I put on the fans doing it, I was convinced I was going to break them, and turned a ten minute job of fitting four fans into a 1 hour job. So keep that in mind.Appearance is stunning. I got mine in blue and they match perfectly with my case.

I bought two AF140 LED fans to go into the top space on my Corsair Obsidian 450D. This case already had two 140mm fans at the front and one at the back and with it being a big case I wanted to extract warm air as quickly as possible. The case is the windowed version and i bought the red led version of these fans and they look superb inside the case casting a nice red glow across the components inside.The fans, as you would expect from Corsair, are of a high quality - they come with 4 mounting screws and a fairly long cable. As previously mentioned, my case is quite big and I actually bought the following extension cable Akasa AK-CBFA01-30 30 cm PWM Fan Extension Cable as some reviews said the

Edit: I did not know this at the time of my first review, but the fans can also be configured using using my bios.On Asus motherboards it's called Qfan tuning. This method works well but still isn't quite as good as using the fan suite 3 software as you can test different settings whilst in the OS, which saves a lot of time and restarts.Because of this I've changed from 4 stars to 5.They are very nice fans for the price but need some tweaking for those who like a quiet PC.Original review below:I have an Asus Maximus Hero VII motherboard and I had to install the AI suite 3/fan expert 3 software in order to gain full control of the fans rpm settings.Make sure to run the fan tuning option when prompted after you first install the AI suite 3 software and run fan expert 3,

I recently upgraded my stock case fans for my Corsair 300R case with these and I have been happy enough so far. They are relatively quiet, although not noticeably moreso than the originals, and have helped to drop the average temperatures in my PC by around 2 or 3 degrees centigrade.While actually cooling the PC is the primary focus when choosing case fans, and this is seemingly done well, I am not a fan of the bright blue LED (however, this is personal taste and I am sure that many of you reading this review would actually see these lights as being a positive feature. While I cannot begrudge Corsair for these lights (as they are one of their defining features),

Corsair are a great brand and in all honesty I was expecting these fans to be as good as they are. I originally tried the red led fans but found the colour to be a bit obtrusive, especially at night. But the purple version I found much better. Rather than lighting up they instead spin up with a softer and more pleasant glow, whilst maintaining a striking lighting effect.The fans themselves are top notch. Shift loads of air at comfortable noise levels. I've optimised them to be totally silent when performing everyday tasks on my pc however, depending on the style of your case fan grills, you may hear a windshear effect.

I bought one of the blue AF140-LED fans (Quiet edition) for the back of the case, so that the inside components would be more visible through my case's tinted side panel. The effect is subtle and pleasing.Based on what others had said, I was worried that the blue LEDs would be too dim but, while they are slightly less bright, they could not be described as dim. My PC lives under a desk, where it is fairly dark, and the blue LEDs make the PC more than just a machine.I went for blue because my PC Case (Fractal Design Arc Midi R2) has a distinct blue LED power-on indicator. They match well.I like my machine to be quiet, and on 5V I can't hear the fans at all.

Really impressed with these Corsair fans from the nifty looking box to the way they work.The box comes with 2 fans packed fairly tightly together and two small bags of screws. My case has special clips so i didn't need to use the screws, but they look easy enough to put in. The small cable has a 3 pin connector so won't be able to use the variable burst on newer motherboards and has to use the standard DC fan management. This is fine as you can use an app like SpeeFan or Asus' own Motherboard software in Windows to manage speeds.At low speeds (up to 500rpm) the fans make hardly any noise, rising to about 22db at the top speed of 1500rpm, which you'd only need for pretty intense gaming on hefty graphics cards that produce a lot of heat.

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.

(Plugged in directly to power supply)2 stars. Pushed out plenty of air, but were very loud. I had to unplug them after 5 minutes of use because their level of sound production hugely out-weighed the few degrees cooling benefit in my rig. These are the furthest things from "Quiet". Little bit disappointed in Corsair...(Plugged in to motherboard with a splitter)Much more pleased with the level of sound - with headphones on, I cannot hear a difference in sound at all. Still not extremely quiet, but much more acceptable than when plugging them straight in to the power supply - I advise anybody looking to build a quieter system to make sure they can plug these in to their motherboard either to a spare fan header or with a splitter.

EDIT -I turned the fan speed down in my Asus motherboard Bios from "turbo" to "quiet", and now the fan is a lot less noisy, although by no means silent...Also this fan has ensured "Far Cry 4" stops overheating and shutting down my PC, as it has reduced temps by about 15% to 20%...before I had constant temperature-related shutdowns...So I am increasing the noise score from 6 to 8- and the overall score from 8 to 9.Original review below.********A) 10 out of 10 for looks and ease of installation.B) 8 out of 10 for no Molex connector- but luckily I found a 3-pin header labelled "CASE FAN" on my Motherboard...be sure to look on your Motherboard CAREFULLY...my 3-pin header was tucked away under the Intel CPU fan...C)

The fan hasn't yet disappointed me the slightest. It looks good and does a great job of keeping the temperature cool. Since the expensive/ cheap case fan doesn't have a huge impact on the temperature difference whilst gaming or using it day to day basis, having the RGB lighting gives you a great touch of gaming PC that you might have wanted. The noise level isn't too bad, as it's not loud compared other products I've used. I got an average of 60 dB when browsing and 67 when gaming (Note I have a GTX 1070 ti and AMD stock cooler which also plays a huge role in keeping the pc nice and cool). Realistically if you're using headphones you wouldn't notice the difference.Unfortunately,

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,

I already own 2 of these which I used to replace the intake fans on my rig. They work absolutely fine.I bought this third one to replace the standard exhaust fan which came with my case, and have found that on the low-power fan setting, it seems to have a bit of shake which is enough to catch your eye when you look through the window on my case. On full power however it is a full-blown beauty so perhaps it is just the low fan option on my case - could be providing an inconsistent amount of power, who knows.The purple is definitely a PURPLE and not the sort of pink dipped in ass or the blue in disguise which is usually the case when you buy something labelled 'purple'.

Love this product! It looks ace and performs well. Literally took 5 mins to install once my case was dismantled enough, just plug in and go. Temperatures are much cooler now, you can really feel the fans doing their thing. I have two of these and 2 of the SP series running at turbo speeds through my BIOS settings and they are still fairly quiet. Despite them running at full speed. Down side though the screws they provided in this package did not fit the holes on the fan? I also bought a set of the SP series fans by Corsair which had the same screws too. But I could not get them to fit and did not want to break or ruin the threads.

Added three of these puppies to provide additional cooling to my editing rig. Two serve as an intake and one as an exhaust and they are all mounted on the top of my case. They are not silent but they are not loud either, to be honest I don't even notice them unless I am specifically trying to do so, but I'm not one to be too picky with my system noise. As far as looks, well, they emit the light of your choice. For me, I got the red version as the color scheme matches my Ryzen black and red build. As far as performance goes, they perform as advertised and lowered my idle temps from 28.5C to 26.5C. I am looking to add two more to have a total of 8 but I'm not sure that adding two more would provide additional cooling as I believe I am at a point of diminishing returns.
