Know before you buy
Yes, to fully utilize the RGB lighting effects through Corsair's iCUE software, you will need a compatible Corsair RGB controller, such as the Lighting Node CORE or Commander CORE, which are typically included with Corsair multi-fan kits.
Absolutely. The SP120 RGB ELITE features AirGuide technology with anti-vortex vanes, which helps concentrate airflow, making it an effective choice for pushing air through the fins of a radiator.
It is designed for quiet performance, operating between 7 and 22.6 dBA. At lower RPMs, it is virtually silent, and even at full speed, the noise level remains unobtrusive for most desktop setups.
Yes, this fan uses a standard 4-pin PWM connector. You can plug it directly into any standard 4-pin fan header on your motherboard to control the speed automatically based on your system's temperature.
The primary difference is the integration of eight individually addressable RGB LEDs and the AirGuide technology. While a standard fan moves air generally, the SP120 is engineered to direct that airflow more precisely, while also serving as a central component for your system's lighting aesthetic.
