SP Fan, Multicolor, Single

Product Information

As shown in the picture above, a duty cycle is how long the signal is turned on versus turned off. For instance, a duty cycle of 100% means the signal is always on.

So this is not your average day "what's the difference between these two types of fans?" but rather why an airflow fan would still not work well when in a "push" setup through a radiator. The Corsair QL is easy to set up since it doesn’t have a lighting node core. The Corsair LL needs to be connected to the node placed inside your computer case. Dust is the main obstacle to dissipating heat from components such as the processor or motherboard. In specific circumstances, these components become too hot, and fans start rotating faster to reduce the high temperature. This leads to higher noise levels.For instance, Corsair LL’s speed ranges from 600 to 1500 RPM. In this case, the LL model can lower RPM to 600 when the load is low. But, the Corsair QL can lower it to 525, which is better for energy-saving and noise reduction.

The Corsair QL and LL come in two different dimensions, 120mm x 25mm and 140mm x 25mm. Both fans in this comparison support the same software solution for light customization. The ICUE program allows you to adjust RGB colors on each LED on the fan. This is a very useful feature that can help you create a nice ambiance inside or outside your computer case. Features Air flows is measuring the flow of the fan in an unobstructed area. The rule of thumb is use higher air flow for unobstructed areas like exhaust/intakes and use higher static pressure on radiators.

Apple please watch this.

SP or other blades with a static pressure emphasis go the other direction. There should be a fewer number of blades (usually 7), they are wide with little space between those blades, and their rake is typically rather flat. As such, it is always going to be less capable of moving a volume of air at the same speed as an AF-style fan. However, it is far less impacted by resistance like radiators or dust filters. It also has a more focused airflow cone making it better for directly cooling hardware or pushing air through that radiator. Computer components improve every year, which increases energy consumption. Consumers generally face overheating problems, so they need to find a way to cool their computer components. This is why we have decided to compare the Corsair QL vs LL, two very powerful fans with RGB lighting. Another thing to consider is static pressure. Static pressure is the ability of a fan to push air through different environments such as filters, radiators, etc. NOTE: If you connect 6 QL fans and 4 RGB LED strips to the Lighting Node Pro, you will only be able to select and customize the fans in iCUE. Corsair QL and LL use pulse width modulation control. However, the Corsair QL has the fastest PWM, which further reduces the on/off switching. This actually decreases the duty cycle.

Fan rotation speed is one of the most significant factors when investing in a new fan. RPM shows the exact speed of your fan. The higher the number, the more air goes through your fan, but more noise is generated. When comparing the Corsair QL and LL official specifications, we see that the QL model delivers more noise. The Corsair QL sound level is 26 dBA. However, the sound level of the LL model is 24.8 dBA.

If you want to protect your computer components from overheating, you should pay attention to other things such as cooling capacity, fan speed, noise, etc. Cooling

NOTE: If you select a LIGHTING LINK effect in Lighting Type, it will apply the lighting effect to all iCUE-compatible devices currently connected to your PC. The sound level of the Corsair LL is 24.8 dBA. The Corsair QL has a higher sound level which is 26 dBA.This fan speed range provides more space for dynamic speed adjustments. In other words, the fan controls its speed depending on the computer load. for a radiator, you can use both fans as long as the radiator isnt too restrictive, due to the fact that radiators are not a solid piece of metal, air actually goes through them However, when we start adding resistance to the fan, the table starts to shift. Any fan specification you see shows a volume of air (CFM or other) the fan can move when unhindered, in free air sitting on your desk. There is always some resistance. The moment I put an AF fan on my case, it is no longer capable of moving 63 CFM at 1650 RPM. It will move less. How much less? No way to know exactly without some precise equipment. Every case and environment is slightly different, but for the most part the volume is not substantially less. Your front grill provides some measure of resistance and the AF fan may only move 57 CFM at 1650 RPM. However, that is certainly more than the 40 CFM an SP120 can move at the same 1650 rpm. The SP fan is less affected by the resistance, but the airflow on the AF is still so much higher and it is the better choice. at this point both fans perform exactly the same because they are pushing the same amount of air with the same force To assign lighting to your fans or strips, select the fan series you want to edit on the left menu.
