So these woukd be good for e.g. EK Predator 240 AIO? But why wouldn't they make good case fan replacements if intending to run at same speed as previous case fans?

Yes, but I wouldn't bother replacing the EK Predator fans. They are a side trade in terms of performance, so only change if you want different aesthetics.

As far as new case fans, you can slow these down if intended to run as case fans but that would be a big waste of money tbh. I wouldn't be surprised to see a slower speed version of these sooner than later, and perhaps also new AF style fans also.

Worth getting to replace SP120's on a radiator?
Looking at knocking some noise down.

Yes, definitely. You will notice similar performance at lower noise if you slow these down, or get a lot better performance at similar noise levels (Assuming you have the SP120 HPE or the SP120L fans).

@vsg28

Would the ML140 pro's make much difference in your opinion on a Swiftech H-240X radiator? Currently using Noctua NF-A14 IPPC 2000 pwm fans in pull. Have a feeling performance wise they wont be worth it, but they look aethestically much better.

Hi there,

I don't have the ML140 fans here yet, expecting delivery this week though. I will do a separate review for them, including comparison with the NF-A14 IPPC 2000 PWM but yeah, at this point I have no answer for you.

Seanp · 14 Jul 2016 at 14:02

I was thinking about replacing the SP140L PWM fans on the Corsair H115i radiator as they're a little noisy with these fans, would it be worth it?

Gee · 14 Jul 2016 at 14:10

That's exactly what I bought the two white 140's for mate, replacing the SP140L's on the H115i.

Will be sorting it out tomorrow so I'll take some photos

IainR · 14 Jul 2016 at 14:11

Are these in stock then? I ordered 2 x white 120's and not heard about them being dispatched yet.

Thank you for the fast reply.

Thanks for doing the testing, very much appreciated. I look forward to reading your review and being able to make an informed decision with regard to these fans.

Hi,

Guys I can only apologise as Corsair have let me down and you guys as the fans have not turned up this week. I have messages them and they said the eta is now Monday - Tuesday . Again I apologise for the delay

Rap1D · 16 Jul 2016 at 10:12

Replaced the two SP120's with ML120's on my H100i, much quieter with slightly better airflow

very impressed!

Kurgen · 16 Jul 2016 at 14:37

I have ordered 2 because they looked nice.

That's a shame, hopefully they change their minds in the future. I'll express my interest in seeing that happen as well.

For those interested, my review is now up: http://thermalbench.com/2016/07/12/corsair-ml120-pro-120-mm-fan/

Could yo udo a comparison vs Corsair SP fans ?
~1500rpm range would be nice!

:cool:

Sure, I will make a graph comparing the SP120 Quiet Edition, SP120 LED and ML120 Pro and share it in this thread. I am currently testing the ML140 Pro fans now.

Let us know how you get on. I was thinking of getting 2 ML 140 white led's. I really want to know how quiet and loud they are.

Wooh, just what I need...thanks!

Really hoping these magnetic bad boys are a better option and I'm not a fan (no pun intended) of buying to test.

VKleita · 17 Jul 2016 at 05:26

Yes yes, please someone give us a quick review, always in the market for new fans...

I rather like the design of these.

vsg28 · 17 Jul 2016 at 14:55

Here it is:

This is what I was expecting based on my individual fan testing as well, with the SP120 QE being an older design, the SP120 LED having a re-worked impeller, and the ML120 having improved mostly everything including the round to square frame which itself nets a 5% better performance itself.

That's really impressive!

vsg28 · 17 Jul 2016 at 15:08

Yeah, big time. Pricing aside, it's a winner so far.

McGraw · 17 Jul 2016 at 15:56

Thanks. Think I'll get one of these and try and get a bigger overclock with a quieter idle noise.
