Corsair SP140 RGB Elite vs Enermax SquA RGB: Comparison

Corsair SP140 RGB Elite vs Enermax SquA RGB: the static pressure difference

The gap that matters here is static pressure: Corsair SP140 RGB Elite 1.66 mmH2O against Enermax SquA RGB 1.9 mmH2O, which puts Enermax SquA RGB 13% ahead. Enermax SquA RGB also leads on max speed, 1200 RPM on the Corsair SP140 RGB Elite versus 1500 RPM on the Enermax SquA RGB. There is a split on fan thickness as well, 25 mm on the Corsair SP140 RGB Elite versus 26 mm on the Enermax SquA RGB.

Corsair SP140 RGB Elite vs Enermax SquA RGB: which one fits your build

The Corsair SP140 RGB Elite is the one to take for 140mm radiators needing moderate static pressure and budget RGB builds filling multiple large mounts, though it is not built for builders chasing the lowest possible noise floor and high-restriction radiators needing max pressure. The Enermax SquA RGB suits quiet RGB case builds and high-airflow intake/exhaust, though it is not the pick for high static pressure radiator duty and extreme overclocking rigs. Our rating of the Corsair SP140 RGB Elite (7/10): A capable mid-range 140mm RGB fan, though the pricier ML140 PRO RGB or quieter Light Wings both outclass it in their own way. Our rating of the Enermax SquA RGB (8/10): A quiet, high-airflow RGB fan that punches above its price point for general case use.

Where the two are identical
