![]() ![]() I will continue to look at radiator-optimized fans, but the NF-P14s will continue to be a very viable option. I have already considered the Corsair ML140, but ultimately decided that they don't suit my needs, as their performance is low in comparison to noise levels, due to rather poor fin design. Max performance no matter the noise (Noctua Industrial PPC NF-A14 3000 enters the room)įor sure. Lower noise with at least the same performance There are two scenarios in which switching those stock fans makes sense: Their biggest drawback is their small-ish RPM range, high noise at full speed (and also at low speed!). ![]() ![]() That would have been a bit more appropriate. I probably should have phrased it: not terrible but also not great. Don't expect to suddenly drop 10 or 15 degrees compared to the stock fans. It might be a few degrees and a little less noise. You have to be aware: the differences won't be night and day. Just don't go for the RGB versions if you want to save a buck. The twin pack should be pretty affordable. The Corsair fans have an exceptional speed range from 400-2000 thanks to their Maglev bearing. They're better than the NZXT in every regard. You can also look at the Corsair ML140 fans - very good allrounder fans. However the NF-A14 industrialPPC-2000 would be better suited for a radiator. With AER RGB fans, you can sync lighting effects with your NZXT AIO (e.g 圆2 Kraken) for more unified looks thanks to the CAM software.I've looked at the NF-P14s you mentioned earlier, and they look like really good fans, regardless of what configuration they are in, whether that would be case fans or radiator fans. Also, i love that i can control all my LEDs from 1 source and via software.ĭo note that when going with Corsair HD120 fans, you can't connect them to Corsair Link when you have Corsair AIO. Since i already have HUE+ and 2x AER RGB140 fans, i'm planning to get LED strips to illuminate my Skylake internals even further. Where you can have up 5x AER RGB fans on one channel while having up to 4x LED strips (10 LEDs per one LED strip) on second channel. With HUE+, you can also go with HUE+ extension kit: HUE+ has 2 channels, each channel is supporting up to 5x AER RGB fans. LED hub supports up to 6x Corsair RGB fans.Ĭontrolling the LEDs is via NZXT CAM software. When buying HD120 or AER RGB120, don't forget to buy the LED controller as well.Ĭontrolling the LEDs is manual by pressing the appropriate buttons on LED controller. While having twice as better static pressure: Performance vise, HD120 is better than AER RGB120: At current time, there are no HD140 (140mm) fans made. Here are few pics of my Skylake build as well: Īs far as i know, Corsair only offers HD120 fans. I think there are also a few new effects added that Hue+ cant use and. been searching for them for weeks only to be sold out everywhere or at insanely high prices (200 for 3 of them). Also, good luck finding any AER RGB 1 fans. NZXT AER RGB fans are all about eyecandy since you have 8 individually controllable LEDs around the outer rim of the fan that you can control with NZXT HUE+. They are basically the same however the 2s allow you to daisy chain other Hue 2 accessories into the same chain. While having much better static pressure:Īs far as warranty goes, NZXT gives it's AER RGB fans 2 years of warranty while Corsair gives their ML series fans 5 years of warranty.įor eyecandy, Corsair ML series fans have 4 LEDs inside the fan hub that doesn't change it's brightness depending on the fan RPM. NZXT AER RGB 2-140mm - HF-2814C-DW - Advanced Lighting Customizations. NZXT Kraken X53 without an original backplate is to select an alternative. Mostly because the huge RPM range Corsair ML series fans have (400-2400 RPM for ML120 and 400-2000 RPM for ML140).īy performance, Corsair ML series fans have about same airflow as NZXT AER RGB fans: The number of Aer RGB fans can go up to 5, while NZXTs RGB accessories can go. I have: NZXT AER RGB140, Corsair ML120 PRO red LED and Corsair ML140 PRO red LED.ĭepending on which RPM you run the fans, Corsair ML series can be quieter or louder than NZXT AER RGB fans. I can give you info about the fans that i have in my Skylake build (full specs in my sig). ![]()
