SP Fan, Multicolor, Single

Product Information

In the second drop-down box, select how many of each device is connected to your Lighting Controller. Computer components improve every year, which increases energy consumption. Consumers generally face overheating problems, so they need to find a way to cool their computer components. This is why we have decided to compare the Corsair QL vs LL, two very powerful fans with RGB lighting. Dust is the main obstacle to dissipating heat from components such as the processor or motherboard. In specific circumstances, these components become too hot, and fans start rotating faster to reduce the high temperature. This leads to higher noise levels. The Corsair LL comes with an RGB lighting node core. So, after setting up the fan, you also need to set up the lighting node inside your computer. In other words, you need to find a proper space and establish a cable connection between the fan and node. So this is not your average day "what's the difference between these two types of fans?" but rather why an airflow fan would still not work well when in a "push" setup through a radiator.

Before buying additional fans, you need to open your computer case and determine how many fans you can actually place inside of your case. Most importantly, you need to pay attention to fan dimensions. The Corsair QL and LL come in two dimensions, 120mm and 140mm. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-QL-RGB-PWM-Fan/p/CO-9050098-WWdue to conservation of energy, that mechanical work is converted into "pressure" pushing the screw forward https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Categories/Products/Fans/sp-series-rgb-led-config/p/CO-9050059-WW#tab-tech-specs I changed out to a different case with better air flow and i am using the same fans now my temps are 82F on the 10TB drives and 75F on the 4TB drives. These two models are pretty similar when it comes to fan speed. The LL model has a speed range between 600 and 1500 RPM. Although the minimum speed is 600 RPM, the Corsair LL is not loud.

at this point both fans perform exactly the same because they are pushing the same amount of air with the same force High efficiency and low power loss are the main benefits of using the PWM technique. This is why this technique is part of many analog electronic devices, including computer fans. having things away from the fan will make it quieter ied say up to an inch at 100% but depends on fan. its like taking a fan and putting it flat on the table it will make noise and lift it tell the noise reduces this other type of screw goes in very slow but it is a lot stronger at pushing into things because moving the same distance forward requires more turns, and more turns = more work done

SP or other blades with a static pressure emphasis go the other direction. There should be a fewer number of blades (usually 7), they are wide with little space between those blades, and their rake is typically rather flat. As such, it is always going to be less capable of moving a volume of air at the same speed as an AF-style fan. However, it is far less impacted by resistance like radiators or dust filters. It also has a more focused airflow cone making it better for directly cooling hardware or pushing air through that radiator.

This fan speed range provides more space for dynamic speed adjustments. In other words, the fan controls its speed depending on the computer load. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-SP-RGB-ELITE-Series-Fans/p/CO-9050109-WW#tab-tech-specs Which one is better? It depends on the application and more often how much fan speed you are willing to tolerate. The AF fan will still move a ton of air at high speeds, but you will have to live with the noise. If you are trying for a super quiet set-up, the SP will fare better with dust filters and radiators at low speed.To assign lighting to your fans or strips, select the fan series you want to edit on the left menu. Air flows is measuring the flow of the fan in an unobstructed area. The rule of thumb is use higher air flow for unobstructed areas like exhaust/intakes and use higher static pressure on radiators. At the bottom of the screen, you will see two items labelled Lighting Channel 1 and Lighting Channel 2. These are the two connectors on your Lighting Node Pro or Commander Pro labelled LED 1 and LED 2 that correspond to these. Select the drop-down box next to the Lighting Channel you have your devices connected to, and switch them to either SP RGB Fans, HD RGB Fans, LL RGB fans, ML RGB fans or Lighting Strips.

If you want to determine a fan’s cooling capacity, you can rely on RPM. RPM or rotation per minute measures how many times a fan makes a full rotation within one minute. The higher the number, the better. If you want to protect your computer components from overheating, you should pay attention to other things such as cooling capacity, fan speed, noise, etc. Cooling The sound level of the Corsair LL is 24.8 dBA. The Corsair QL has a higher sound level which is 26 dBA. flatter" and larger blades act like a finer screw, and it takes more turns, but pushes with more force The Corsair QL is easy to set up since it doesn’t have a lighting node core. The Corsair LL needs to be connected to the node placed inside your computer case.

if youre installing a fan in a very restrictive place, like in front of a bunch of hard drives, then a SP fan will perform better because it will have higher CFM at high mmH2O compared to the AF fan If you are worried about the installation process, you may want to consider purchasing the QL model. It has a compact design, doesn’t require additional devices, and you can install it yourself without professional help. NOTE: If you connect 6 QL fans and 4 RGB LED strips to the Lighting Node Pro, you will only be able to select and customize the fans in iCUE. Both fans in this comparison support the same software solution for light customization. The ICUE program allows you to adjust RGB colors on each LED on the fan. This is a very useful feature that can help you create a nice ambiance inside or outside your computer case. Features The AF (Airflow) and SP (Static Pressure) have two different blade designs that result in different performance. An AF fan or any other with many, thin, steeply raked blades, is the most efficient for moving air. This is what why we use them. The SP fan by comparison has fewer blades (usually 7) with a flatter and fatter blade. This is a less efficient design and at any given RPM, the AF style blade will move more air. However, the SP style blade has the ability to focus the airflow into a tighter stream and is able to push more air when faced with moderate resistance. This can make it the better choice for areas where you need a focused, direct cooling source or when faced with resistance, like a radiator.
