Hello all, it seems that I may have slightly muffed up. I went to tigerdirect today to pick up some fans to install as side gpu fans for my gtx 690 and Cosmos 2 case. I always trust corsair and after some brief browsing, left with a twin pack of the sp 120 performance, not realizing this was meant for radiators. They don't seem to have affected my idle temps at all, but they have brought load temps down from 82 degrees to an average of 70 degrees while playing far cry 3 maxed out. My question to you all is: Would I see better results replacing them with AF 120 performance edition fans?
 
Correct, sp120 fans are meant for radiators and tuff spots for air to flow through like at the front of the case where if you have alot of hdd's then the sp120 can help push the air through but if you were going to use it as an exhaust fan then an af120 would be quieter but I dont think you will see much more results they are fairly the same specs just for different senerios.
