I just installed my Corsair H75 closed loop cooler on my i7-6700k. Im currently tuning in a 4.4GHz OC at 1.325v (trying to get the voltage a little lower currently) that sits between 50C and ~63C depending on the stress test. I am using the two stock SP120L fans in the H75 but I am wondering if there would be any performance gains, heat wise, by using two ML120s instead. Looking at the specs on these fans, the SP120Ls have a 54 CFM (2000 RPM max) airflow where the ML120s have a 75 CFM (2400 RPM max) airflow but from my understanding, static pressure would be more important since I'm pushing air through a grill. The ML120s have a static pressure of 4.2 mmH2O but I have no clue what the stock SP120Ls static pressure is or if it even matters. Money and noise aside, would there be any gains by replacing the stock SP120Ls with ML120 Pros?
 
Solution
The MLs are the only model from Corsair with both High Airflow AND High Static Pressure.
In comparison with the SPs they are much more powerfull. I got 2 ML 140 Pro recently and they are Beasts. They are just a tiny bit more silent than the SPs and achieve much higher rpms and a lot more air through your grill thus achieving better cooling results.
They are expensive though.
In practice yes, the MLs are better.
