Corsair SP120 Fans

[RiGGz]

So I went down the Fry's the other day to pick up some stuff for my computer, and while looking for fans, I instantly seen the name Corsair and I seen that it had white leds (which was the one I was looking for) and after purchasing it to use for normal case fans, I realized I bought the Static Pressure version. I'm only using them for front intake on the Thermaltake View 27 case, but should I still be alright for airflow as opposed to the Air Flow version? I can't return it I don't think.

You want SP for Front Intake, or Radiators, thats what they are for.
LinusTechTips has good videos on YT, explaining the differences, and their overall usages.

Static pressure fans are for things like radiators and heatsinks with alot of airflow restriction. For case intake fans, you definitely want airflow fans. There are also better fans than the corsair LED ones. Noctua and Fractal Venturi push a lot of air quietly.

Yeah, but mostly they say Static Pressure fans are only good for front intake if there's a harddrive cage in the way.

Yes I know, the problem is that I failed to realize what kind of fans I bought. Which is why i'm asking if they'll still be good as case fans.

Did you get the "Quiet" versions?
If so return them and don't buy those.
Get the full RPM performance versions. As you can just control the fans anyways.

Ok yea those are fine.
Those are approx 57 CFM

The quiet versions are more like 37 CFM, you should be good with what you grabbed.
