SP Fan, Multicolor, Single

Product Information

The minimum RPM for the QL model is 525. On the contrary, the minimum rotation per minute for the Corsair LL is 600. 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.

To assign lighting to your fans or strips, select the fan series you want to edit on the left menu. Corsair QL and LL use pulse width modulation control. However, the Corsair QL has the fastest PWM, which further reduces the on/off switching. This actually decreases the duty cycle. 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. To assign lighting to your fans/strips, you then must select the Lighting Channel you wish to control on the left. This fan speed range provides more space for dynamic speed adjustments. In other words, the fan controls its speed depending on the computer load.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. LL and QL are ARGB, adressable RGB which means you can make animations for each LED and color. So the price is for maybe how many LEDs there are on the fans, and if it's RGB or ARGB, also what type of motor the fan is using and pricing high because why not. 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 sum up, if you choose the Corsair LL, you have an extra device to set up. Therefore, the QL model prevails in this segment. flatter" and larger blades act like a finer screw, and it takes more turns, but pushes with more force

Next, you can press the Lighting Setup option and start adjusting colors. For instance, you can mix two colors and choose a lighting type like solid, gradient, ripple, or wave. In the second drop-down box, select how many of each device is connected to your Lighting Controller. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-QL-RGB-PWM-Fan/p/CO-9050098-WW The Corsair QL looks better from both angles, so you have more options when it comes to RGB light customization.

Throw Your Computer In The Ocean.

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 As such, it provides more options for customization and lighting. LEDs are placed on both sides of the fan. So, you can illuminate both the inside and outside parts of your computer case.

Fan rotation speed is one of the most significant factors when investing in a new fan. RPM shows the exact speed of your fan. The higher the number, the more air goes through your fan, but more noise is generated.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. the reason some people use airflow fans on radiators is because the fin density is very low, so the airflow fan doesn't need much pressure to push air through it.
