Corsair ML LED Pro Series Case Fan

Overview

Our overall impression of the ML120 PRO LED is that Corsair has designed and built a super solid fan that should last a serious long time. This is based on the overall build quality, which is fantastic and second to none, as well as the technology employed. The magnetic bearings ensure that there is the absolute minimum amount of contact within the motor between moving parts. This is all backed by and awesome 5 year Corsair Guarantee.

Perhaps it is a good thing that Corsair continued to work on the rotor design in the year since the launch of the ML120 PRO fan as the overall package of the ML120 PRO RGB as it is today does enough to warrant a strong recommendation still.

Mag Lev has been around for a while but for the most part fan manufacturers have stuck to more traditional methods of production. Metal and ceramic ball bearings have been predominate far to long. Ball bearings of any type come with unavoidable...

Corsair has employed some nifty technology in its new range of ML fans however we have to be careful with the name. The bearings that support the rotors on the motors use Magnetic Levitation but this is not shortened to Maglev (like the famous trains)...

Corsair's ML120 Pro RGB fans blend the purely practical innovation of magnetic-levitation bearings with a purely cosmetic augmentation: RGB LEDs. We'd normally expect a product to suffer for such vanity, but the ML120s defy expectations and lose...

Corsair is certainly pushing the boundaries of what is possible with it's fan technologies, especially with the magnetic levitation fans – the performance is sublime, providing a huge airflow, high static pressure and low noise levels along with RGB...

It's very obvious that when cooling components, a variable amount of airflow is needed to assist in heat dissipation for whatever it is from VRM heat sinks, graphics card VRMs etc. It's no secret that the range of available case fans over the last...

There is no getting around the fact that Corsair has priced the entire ML series quite high, even as far as premium fans go. A single ML120 PRO without LEDs will set you back $24.99 per fan. The LED versions can add another few dollars on top, depending...
