welcome to my unboxing of Corsair's SP
or static pressure series of fans so you can see I've got a couple dual packs
here of the high performance Edition and the quiet Edition now the only
difference between a high performance Edition fan and a quiet Edition fan is
the RP the stock RPM at which it spins at 12 volts so here let's go ahead and
now I talked a lot about this in the flow series fans or the AF series fans
unboxing but it remains relevant here so I will continue to talk about it where
has Corsair innovated when it comes to fans because it's a very crowded Market
everyone in their dog has a line of fans and what they think is interesting about
it so Corsair has done a number of things first of all they have gone the
root of some of their competitors who have different fans that are optimized
for different things so nocta for example has their pressure optimized
pseries fans as well as their directed airf flow and pressure optimized f-s
series fans okay so corser has SP and
then they also have AF Series right there we go you can see they use very
very different designs so that's one of the ways to innovate is you create fans
that are properly optimized for the different usage scenarios you think your
users will encounter this one for pressure they have also added something
that I think is really cool so you just use a screwdriver to pop the ring off or
you can do it with your hands if you want um and you can replace it with red
or or white whatever color you prefer whatever color you think will accent
your rig the best I mean I hope Corsair comes out with even more colors in the
future because that just looks like the
bees knees in my personal humble opinion
okay what else can you do you can improve Aesthetics right all black
cables all black connectors Corsair is already very good at that very clean
looking Hub designs I mean I I hate ugly
fans or I hate good-looking fans that then have like a big gy sticker on the
back of just drives me crazy um you can do that you can reduce vibration so
they've used a very unique design here where they've got rubber here rubber
here so rubber on both of the outsides rubber filling in the entire inside of
what would normally be an open uh open Corner fan and then but you can still
access the insides in case you need to run a bolt through it or whatever else
the case may be so I think that's really cool because they've reduced vibration
from every possible angle on their their
new series both serieses of fans
I think double packs are actually more cool than uh people give them credit for
because you can save a couple bucks just by getting a double pack and quite honestly who needs one fan in the first
place so let's talk about the applications what are the pressure fans for if you have something like a case
with a very restrictive front panel so if you don't have a mesh front panel
like for something like um you know an a
Corsair 300r where it's a very open front panel if you have something that's
more like a 650d you might want to opt with a pressure series fan if you have
something like a Corsair h100 see how restrictive that is how little actual
space there is for the fan to push air through well if you were to use an
airflow series fan it would be and I mean this is okay
this is not very technical this is like very surface okay guys it would be very
leaky so to speak so it would try to push the air through try to use these
very Scoopy very flat propeller-like
blades to push the air through it
but it would leak it would spit air back up through the fan which reduces the
efficiency and reduces how much air flow you actually get through your radiator
and fan noise basically goes up in a linear fashion with RPM the faster you
spin your fan the louder it is so if you have to waste Cycles spinning faster in
order to push the air through you're just going to have a noisier experience
whereas with their pressure series fence you can see they have a much broader and
uh lower uh lower count of the propeller
blades so what that means is that when these spin they're more of a constant
downward pressure as opposed to moving through as much air if they were in a
completely open environment like this so that is why these are optimized for high
uh high pressure applications such as this where there's a lot of restriction
or resistance to the flow of air so there you go that is why there are two
different series of fans that is what Corsair has done to innovate and I think
that that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at Corsair's static pressure
SP series of fans and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos and don't forget every fan includes three different rings so you
have white blue and red you configure your fan the way you want to of course
there's done a lot of engineering a lot of testing to make these fans what they
believe are going to be pretty much the best option out there so uh once we have
some more time to spend with our data hopefully we'll be able to back up that conclusion don't forget to subscribe to
lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys I
forgot to show the accessories that are included for black screws got to love
those nice little finishing touches from Corsair again all black wires black
sleeving black connectors nice little finishing touches they also have a
little thing about not returning the product to the store and contacting Corsair as well as of Corsair Solutions
guide showcasing their different products because at this point they have so many products that you could almost
build an entire PC with nothing but like Corsair
Intel and then I suppose You' need like a motherboard and a graphics card or
something
