[SOLVED] Should I get the Corsair iCUE SP120 Elite Performance or the iCUE SP120 RGB PRO?

[Waster-]

Hi guys

I'm planning on buying some new fans and wanted your honest opinion:

Is it worth paying extra 25 dollars for the Corsair iCUE SP120 Elite Performance or should I stick to the iCUE SP120 RGB PRO? Are the differences that big?



PS.: I don't live in the US, so the 25 dollars is a direct convertion from my country's currency, thats why the difference is a lot bigger than it should 😛

Well, let's see...
SP120 Elite Performance, you get:
DC controlled(Gnd, +12, RPM)
47.73CFM
1.46mm-H2O
26.5dBA
^Keep in mind, that's what ya get at 100% fan speed. Performance below that is SPECULATION, since almost no one posts fan curves anymore. Noctua and be quiet appear to be the only ones that have posted anything in recent years.

SP120 RGB PRO, you get:
PWM controlled(Gnd, +12, RPM, PWM control)
52CFM
1.45mm-H2O
26dBA
^Ditto about 100% rpm.


Big whoop-de-doo. With specs like those, it really doesn't matter which one you go with... but for 25 bucks more? Haha - no.
The one that costs 25 bucks more, might be a 3rd party seller trying to fish for suckers.
