welcome to my unboxing of Corsairs SP or static pressure series of fan 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 fan 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 there dog has a line of fans and what they think is interesting about it so of course there has done a number of things first of all they have gone the route of some of their competitors who have different fans that are optimized for different things to Noctua for example has their pressure optimized p-series fans as well as their directed air flow and pressure optimized at series fans okay so Corsair has SP and then they also have AF series 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 too you just use a screwdriver to pop the ring off or you can do it with your hands if you want and you can replace it with red 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 bee's 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 hobb designs I mean I hate ugly fans I hate good-looking fans that then have like a big body sticker on the back of them just drives me crazy 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 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 vibrations from every possible angle on their add their new series both syriza's of fans I think double packs are actually more cool than 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 reflective front panel so if you don't have a mesh front panel like for something like you know a Corsair 300 or where it's very open front panel 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 coarser 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 airflow you actually get through your radiator and fan noise basically goes up in a linear fashion with our PM 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 fans you can see they have a much broader and lower lower count of the propeller blades so what that means is that when they 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 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 sir of fans that is what Corsair has done to innovate and I think that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at Corsairs 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 corsair has 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 Linus tech tips from on boxing's reviews and other computer videos sorry guys I forgot to show the accessories that are included for black screws gotta love those nice little finishing touches from Corsair again all black wires blacks leaving 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 course our 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
