Hi,

One of the fans for my Corsair H100i has a faulty electric motor, they are gonna send me a new fan although it's a Corsair SP120 Quiet Ed. instead of the stock fan.

Personnally I'm not especially good at fans, so my question is;

Is the stock fan for the Corsair H100i better then the Corsair SP120 Quiet Ed.?


ATM the fans push air through the radiator although I'm thinking of changing it so they pull instead.

Thanks in advance!
 
Overall the SP's from Corsair are better then the stock ones delivered with the unit.
I have a H110 and the stock fans are horrible and rattle everytime they switch speeds. Waiting for the SP140's from Corsair so i can switch mine out.
 


What I see is lower airflow from the SP120, 37.85CFM compared to the 77CFM from the stock fans and from what I have read the higher airflow the better if you want too use them for pull.

Noise doesnt bother me too much, I allways game with headset on and I'm only exchanging one of the fans so the other one will remain.
