Corsair Adds ''Air Series'' Cooling Fans to Product Line
Corsair has announced the release of its Air Series cooling fans: models AF120, AF140 and SP140.
Corsair's Air Series fans are designed to deliver a balance of airflow and low-noise to users who want to upgrade their PCs for quieter operation or higher performance. All the fans feature an advanced hydraulic bearing system and rubber mounts for low-noise and reliability, and include red, white, and blue color rings to allow users to customize the look of their PC.
The Air Series AF120 and AF140 airflow fans are designed to intake cool air into, and exhaust hot air out of, your PC. They are for mounting on the side, top, and rear of cases. The airflow fans are designed with ultra-thin, custom-molded blades optimized to flow high volumes of air in unrestricted spaces with at least 3 cm of clearance. They are available in a 140 mm Quiet edition and in 120mm Quiet and Performance editions.
The Air Series SP120 fans deliver focused air pressure in situations where air needs to be blown through a restricted space, making them ideal for cooling radiators and heatsinks. They feature seven ultra-wide, custom-molded blades and a custom enclosure that delivers high static pressure, while maintaining a quiet noise profile. It is available in a 120mm size, in both Quiet and High Performance editions.

thety6on Idk about these specs... They seem a little overblown. Wouldn't be the first time a company tried to pull something like that off though *cough**cough*Phanteks*cough**cough*. I guess we'll just have to wait for a review, but for now, I'm sticking with my Gentle Typhoons. Best 120mmx25mm fans in regards to static pressure and noise level. The only problem with them is finding them in stock anywhere...Reply -
LukeCWM Ingenious. I hadn't even considered using fans to push cool air into my computer and the hot air out. Thank goodness we have Corsair on the bleeding edge of technology bringing us these unprecedented discoveries. /sarcasmReply
Anyone else think these were fans for RAM, or some other new thing, based on the title and wording of the article? -
Anomalyx A Bad DayWhat's the difference between "High Pressure" and "High Airflow"?High pressure is nice for intake fans. Low pressure fans can't push air in very well unless there are already fans blowing air out.Reply
