Review on 🔵 CORSAIR AF120 Blue LED Low Noise Cooling Fan - Single Pack CO-9050081-WW by Derek Pape

When I received the GeForce RTX 3090 FE, I realized that the LED fans I thought were "white" were actually more blue, and I wanted some of the fans to match the beautiful white tones of the " Geforce RTX" backlight . " Lighting on my GPU. I also upgraded my NH-D15 from regular to Chromax Black to really bring it home. After researching numerous fans and pictures, and answering questions, these 140mm fans seemed in Sized and lighting spot on The title The description says "CORSAIR AF140 LED LOW NOISE Cooling Fan, Dual Pack - White, 140mm" They arrived and it didn't say "Low Noise" anywhere on the box ". Screws and a long enough cable present no problem when plugging in. "Once I installed them, from shadow to backlight, the white LEDs matched the RTX GeForce lighting perfectly. They agree absolutely 100%. The center ring lighting (vs. the perimeter lighting) really shines and costs far more than traditional case fans. Then 'I'll quickly realize how LOUD these fans are. l MUCH quieter. I'm using an EVGA FTW Z390 with DC regulators so I go into the BIOS and set them to 75%. NO, still insanely loud. Okay, around 50% much quieter but still too loud even at 50% but that has to be there. They also have a dull rising/falling sound that I found with every single fan. I even ordered another pack to check out, maybe it was the first pack but every fan has one. At full throttle SRB "we have a lead" you don't notice it so much, but if you turn it down, it becomes a subtle but always present sound with slight rises and falls. Multiply that by 3 and if you're sensitive to noise, it'll drive you nuts in no time. In an attempt to isolate and find the source of the audio problem, I turned them off individually and the dramatic noise reduction was exceptionally clear, again by up to 50%. With all three devices unplugged, it was real music to my ears. At 100% they drowned out everything in my room including my HEPA filter which is quite audible. The icing on the cake is uneven overtones. It's a shame, because they are visually very appealing. If you are sensitive to noise, avoid them like the plague.
