Having owned a built many high end rigs over the years, they all rely on one thing to keep them cool and running, fans. Much has been done over the years to eak out high performance, quiet performance etc and so I am glad to see someone come along and start innovating a bit more on what could be considered a mundane area that is absolutely critical to how well your rig is going to run. These days I favor quiet so I was keen to see this in action as it boasts a number of features above other fans.First impressions are superb. Well packaged in a good solid box and the fan itself is very well made.It uses a 4 pin PWM header and the cable is nice a long for a change making cable management a touch easier without resorting to extensions.The two key things here for me are the rubber dampers and magnetic bearing tech. I decided to try mine on my noctua cpu cooler and replaced the noctua fan. Initial impressions are that it shifts a great amount of air whilst remaining quiet. I have my fans tuned through my board to lower ranges and some turn off until they reach a certain temp. Ramping up they do get loud but no more so than my existing fan(s). The rubber dampers if case mounted would go a good way to reducing vibration transfer. These would be ideal fitted to a radiator in my opinion as they can focus some serious air flow. The manufacture of these fans is also rated for 200,000 hours of life which is very reassuring.The corners can be swapped out for coloured decals and there are LED versions. This is clearly corsairs way forward as a bit of research online shows these fans will be heading to corsair psu's and a corsair gfx card in conjunction with MSI.IN my opinion the fans justify their price and I am glad companies are innovating in this area. The fan is remianing on my cpu cooler in place of my trustee noctua for now!

Let’s start this review with almost a cliché, let’s compare the new ML120 pro to the original SP120 high performance editions.In this case let assume they are the ones fitted to the AIO 105h which is a few years old. I tested the original fans and found them to be way too loud and prone to further vibrations. I soon replaced them with the SP120 quiet additions which are not the best performers on the market, but they do look good.So the original SP120 HP spin at up to 2340rpm but the ones that are included with the 105h AIO water cooler are the basic model with grey fan blades and no rubber anti vibration ends.So how have things improved with the new ML120 Pro versions?1)At 1200rpm they are still pretty quiet - not something the SP120 HP or QE can achieve due to bearing rumble and at 1200rpm the QEs are nearly at the top end of their range. My ears say it is more than a gimmick.2) At 2400rpm, yes the new MLs are loudish but that is the noise of the air only, being forced through the radiator. With the SP120 HP edition you have that same noise plus bearing rumble plus vibration.3) The range of the ML120 pro is much better - spinning at a low 400 up to the 2400rpm limit.4) The design of the cage has been changed for a squarer, more efficient one, and the corners can be changed. Ever broken that rubber grommet in the SP120 HP or QE ones? I have and it is a pain.The downside to these improvements is the increased cost, the new ML120 pros do cost more but in this case it is justified.They are also recommended for PWM only because they need a constant 12v to maintain the magnetic levitating, so if you use a fan controller that uses a 3pin volt control method then it takes away the whole point of the maglev as you will have bearing rumble. Haven’t tested this as I have PWM fan control on my motherboard.

I know what you might be thinking... Magnetic Levitation fans?! Has to be a load of marketing rubbish... right? You are probably also considering these because you want them to do two main things: 1) Shift a load of air 2) be pretty quiet about doing it.Well, it probably is a little marketing rubbish, but there's no denying that whatever wizardry Corsair put in these fans, they are rather effective at doing what they do.Case fans now come in two flavours now-a-days... high air flow, meaning they are more efficient at shifting high volumes of air in open space and high static pressure, meaning they push air through things like radiators and filters better.I like my computer to be whisper quiet.It already was pretty quiet but the fans on my water cooler (Corsair SP120s) although high static pressure fans were a little noisier than I liked, even at lower RPMs. My intake/exhaust fans weren't really the right fans for the job either since they were high air flow Fractal R2s and I have filters on all the intakes and exhausts on the case (I don't like dust!).I connected up all the fans like for like and set them to run at the same RPM as used with the old fans. Not only is it now quite noticeably quieter (at idle/in Windows, I can actually hear the hard drives over the fans) but average temperatures are a good 5c lower too (I suspect mainly due to better air flow through the case).In all, it seems they are just as good as the non-Magnetic Levitation high static pressure fans, but they are quieter in doing so. There isn't a huge difference in price between the two either, if you aren't bothered about fancy LEDs in everything!

I've recently built a new 6600k-based PC system for myself, and I'm happy to say this fan helps to keep it nice and cool in my Fractal case, even when running at overclocked speeds.It comes well packaged, in a premium box with the fan (a weighty, well made affair that feels and looks premium), two cable ties and 4 screws. The fan is fitted with a 4 pin PWM plug compatible with most motherboard and fan controller headers. The cable from the fan to the plug is nice and long (although not of the ultimate quality you'd think considering the price) so cable management inside of your case should be easy.Basically the fan plugs into your PC motherboard or fan controller and spins away nice and quietly,even at high revs. To be precise the fan spins between 400rpm and 2400rpm depending on what you choose or what your active cooling solution (whether it be BIOS or app driven) decides. At 2400rpm the only thing audible from the fan is the air being forced through it, otherwise it is really quite quiet, but still audible by way of the vibrations it sends through the case. Noise wise I'd say it is slightly louder than the high quality, comparable offerings from Noctua.If I had one criticism of this package I'd say that what you get with the fan is quite basic. I would at the very least for a fan priding itself on low noise, expect some rubber type pull throughs or grommets with which to install it within a case. These reduce vibrations and help reduce the overall noise profile. All in all though this is a premium fan which shifts a lot of air and does so relatively quietly and for that reason I definitely recommend it.

Great good quality product as you can expect from Corsair.I have used their older generation fans when specifying my gaming PC last year with the two different variants the static pressure and airflow types. This is done away with in this design and it is effectively an all in one fan combining the air flow and static pressure into one product with all different colours etc.One thing to keep in mind when considering this product is that it needs a 4 pin fan output on your motherboard or fan controller not the usual 3 pin this is because there is a consistent 12 volts fed to the fan and the motherboard/fan controller tells it how fast to spin.The advantage of this is if you get an LED version the LED's do not dim/brighten as the speed decreases/increases.The magnetic levitation technology means there are no traditional ball bearings in this fan so reduces drag and noise which helps in two ways.1) The fan has a higher RPM than regular fans which means better cooling (very helpful in summer).2) Less noise which if you have up to 7 of these in your case it will make a big difference to the sound your gaming rig generates as 7 fans producing 40dB each does not mean that your system makes 40dB its more nearer 50dB.Overall if I was building a new gaming rig these are the fans I would use and with a 5 year guarantee you cannot go wrong! Also a recommendation get a fan controller so you can extract the full potential and make sure it has a 4 pin output for all fans.

When these came out there were a lot cheaper than they are now, which has changed my review. These fans are good quality. Their main strength is the exceptional range of speeds they will run at. All the way from 400RPM to 2000RPM. They noticeably better than the standard Corsair fans and are both suitable as a case fan and a radiator or heatsink fan. They start to make noticeable mechanical noise at about 1300RPM so they are not as quiet as a Noctua or Noiseblocker, which are mechanically silent all the way up to their maximum RPM ( except for a woosh of air which all fans make at higher RPM's ). They are, however, cheaper, so they represent a good midpoint.When you need reasonable cost combined with low noise and very efficient air delivery, these are the fans for you.These of course are PWM fans ONLY so they are in the most expensive fan bracket, but they are also safer for critical cooling since PWM will always run at their minimum RPM even when commanded lower ( unless they are commanded to stop ). That's why it's not essential to get PWM for case fans but it is essential to get them for CPU/GPU cooler fans. Personally I use them as case fans too, since they just offer a much higher degree of control than a non-PWM fan.

I'm using this fan in conjunction with a Corsair water-cooling system (Corsair CW-9060026-WW Hydro Series H110i 280 mm Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler - Black). The water-cooling fans bring air into the front of the case, and this fan exhausts the air from the back (or optionally through the top grille). This smaller fan has no discernable bearing noise - it shouldn't do, as the fan apparently "levitates" in a magnetic field. However, it does still make some noise, especially when turned up full - this is presumably caused by the blades cutting through the air. Full speed is very fast indeed, and there's presumably some turbulence caused. In normal use it runs slowly and is (almost)silent.It's certainly not the cheapest fan available, but how often do you build a PC? The alleged magnetic bearings should mean that the fan wears very little, and it should last for ages. I have trouble with the fans from my ASUS Nvidia 970 graphics card making a fair bit of noise when the card is working hard; hopefully I'll be able to replace that soon with a next-generation card; when I do, I should have a pretty quiet PC, even when it's working reasonably hard.

There's no getting around it, these are very expensive fans. Kitting your rig with 4 of these to replace stock fans is a cool 100£.. good luck explaining that to your wife.But as long as you manage your expectations, then i think these could be worth it.1) Looks: I think they look great. PWM means they'll constantly be supplied with 12V so they'll keep their brightness even when you lower their rpm. Some led fans are 3 pins and would dim when you do so. The construction is also pretty sturdy.2) Cooling and noise: If you already had good quality fans (in the say 11£-15£ range), then you won't really notice decreases in temps. What they do have however is a pretty large rpm range,so you can lower them to inaudible levels, and crank them up all the way to 1800 rpm if you need to. That flexibility is pretty neat. Some fans would also rattle at low rpms, but these so far remain silent.Overall if you had crap and noisy fans then these would be a very worthwhile upgrade. If you already own good fans then it's a more difficult choice as these aren't cheap, and you'll have to decide whether the looks and build quality is worth it.

Some might say “what’s in a computer fan” but as a system builder (semi-retired, technically) the chance to play with one of Corsair’s new “magnetic levitation” fans was too good to miss.To all intents and purposes this looks like any normal 120mm fan, with a 50cm cable with support for rpm detection and control. However, you can feel the difference when you examine the fan. It turns super-smoothly and feels different to other fans I’ve used of late.Clearly as a mover of air this fan is not going to be silent, and realistically I can’t tell any difference between this and a fairly new non-magnetically levitated fan I ran as a comparison. The difference will come in a year, 18 months,two years - after a lot of running when a regular fan will have substantially worn its bearings and as a result got rather louder and rather less efficient.This fan should run quieter, longer, and as a result last longer, use less power, and be more reliable. The build quality is superb and I hold Corsair products in the highest regard - this is another top notch product.

At full pelt, the "magnetic levitation" Corsair is surprisingly quiet, pumping a whopping 75cfm. It's definitely audible at the high end, but not choppy or grinding like many traditional fans. That airflow puts it slightly superior to my high end CPU cooler fan, which is ultimately where it will probably end up.Power consumption when full speed in open air weighs in at 186mA, significantly less than advertised on the box. That equals about 2.2W. PWM will obviously reduce this, and makes a big difference to the noise with it being very smooth at even 75%.The physical construction is very sturdy, feeling like some metal alloy and having the weight to go with it. You get your standard fan screws to attach it with too.All told,the Corsair is very sturdy, powerful and reasonably quiet. The noise it does make at full speed is unobtrusive, and the power consumption is reasonable. Provided the longevity is there, it represents a solid choice for rugged systems.

I am "building" a PC setup at the moment, so this arrived at exactly the right time. It comes in a proper box - which impressed my son - as he is used to buying components which come packaged in polythene. Corsair is a high end brand, my son has a mousepad by them for his serious gaming which cost an absolutely eye watering amount (for a mousepad) which he is delighted with. I have had corsair fans before - in previous hard rive boxes and always been impressed by their quality and longevity. This fan lived up to my opinions - it was very easy to install and is very quiet (although a long test will needed to see if that opinion is borne out long term).You can trade up to the next fan in the series if you want fancy LED's to shine through clear side panels on your case.Anyway - I am really pleased to have this fan - great Corsair quality

This is a well built fan, it's weighty and solid in construction. Mine came with grey rubber mounts (other colours are sold separately).In use it pushes out a good volume of air, at full speed it is a little noisy and this noise increases if the air has to pass though something like a fan grill. In my case all the fans are off until the temperature rises and at low speed this seems no more loud than the other fans I have but at full speed (something that never happens in my case) it did appear louder.It has a 4 pin PWM connector to allow the MB or a fan controller to keep it at its optimal noise V cooling range and this has a long 590mm cable which should be enough for most peoples uses.Overall a good fan,excellent build quality, but could be a little too loud if you can not control the speed by only attaching to a 3 pin fan header.

Corsair are known for their PC products so I have no doubt on the reliability of this fan. The biggest component killer on most PC's is dust. This fan can be controlled by the pins normally found all over a mother board marked FN1 FN2 etc etcConnect these up to the mother board and most mother bonds have a console where you can set the fan's speed or set it to vary depending on the temperature within the case. SAfest thing to do is buy at least 2 fans and set them up in the same way so you don't have a fan creating over pressure trying to push air into a case or a fan struggling to suck air out of a case. Have 2 and you'll have a very fast throughput without draining either fan ...Just remember to follow the direction around on the side of the fan mounting to know which was the air is going to flow.

These fans look amazing! They sound good!For the price I paid, £13.99 each, I would highly recommend these as they look and feel like a premium product. I would not pay full price for these as there are better options on the market. Installation was simple enough for me with my case, Corsair Spec Alpha, but one thing I'd recommend is before installing them into the case, use the provided screws to go through the installation points on the fans. The holes are a bit tight and a lot of pressure is needed so just screw each corner, take them out and then you can have a nice hassle free installation!If you're looking for some witchcraft near silent fans these are not the ones...because y'know...physics.If you're after a cool (pardon the pun) looking LED fan then these are the ones!

The ML bearings work like magic - these things just don't make any noise, except for the noise of air being moved.I've got 2x 140mm on a front intake CPU RAD, then 3 exhaust (2 at the top for convection and 1 on the back) and finally another 2 on a Morpheus II GPU cooler. My system is much quieter than when I was using cheaper fans like the Arctic P12.The cables are pretty long, which is both good and bad because it gives more options for cable management, but for the Morpheus 2 I've ended up modding them by making them a lot shorter and adding a braided cable sleeve to tidy things up.The real benefit of the ML series though is that they are a good compromise between high airflow and high static pressure,so they work as case fans AND for big beefy radiators or fin stacks.
