Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition Twin Pack Fan (CO-9050002-WW)



Quiet case fans designed for unrestricted air flow
I really like the Corsair "Quiet Edition"fans; I replaced all of the fans in my new Corsair Vengeance Series Military Green C70 Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011018-WW) with "Quiet Edition" fans.

You can find out all the technical details about Corsair fans at the Corsair website (Products, Cooling, Air Series Fans). There are two lines of fans: the "Performance Edition" fans and the "Quiet Edition" fans. As these names imply, the former have higher air flows while the later operate more quietly (at lower air flows).

There are two "Quiet Edition" models: the AF model and the SP model. The AF model is used when air flow is unrestricted (such as the exhaust fan at the back of the case); the SP model is used when air flow is restricted (such as air flow through drive bays or through a radiator/cooler).

The AF120 and the SP120 are 120 mm fans while the AF140 is a 140 mm fan:...

Very quiet
I used one of these to replace a PSU fan and it is almost silent and moves a fair amount of air, i am impressed and will be buying these from now on, my only want would be a led option.

Good fans
I ordered these by mistake as upgrades for my Corsair H100i, although they are great fans, they are the wrong fans for this unit, they are 3 pin and in order for the software to work it needs to be a 4 pin fan or a PWM. I ended up ordering Corsair Air Series SP120 PWM High Performance Edition - Twin Pack (CO-9050014-WW). I went with the performance edition because I am building a gaming computer that will be overclocked. Amazon was more then fair with me in issuing me a refund even though I ordered the wrong fans.
