Enermax SquA RGB vs Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB: Comparison
Enermax SquA RGB vs Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB: the airflow difference
The gap that matters here is airflow: Enermax SquA RGB 68.27 CFM against Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB 40.9 CFM, which puts Enermax SquA RGB 40% ahead. Static pressure runs the same way, 1.9 mmH2O on the Enermax SquA RGB versus 1.4 mmH2O on the Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB, another win for Enermax SquA RGB. They differ on rated life too, 100000 hours on the Enermax SquA RGB versus 40000 hours on the Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB.
Who each one is for
Buy the Enermax SquA RGB for 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. The Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB is the one to take for TT RGB Plus ecosystem builds and show-window RGB case fans, though it is the wrong buy for Non-Thermaltake lighting ecosystems and silent builds. 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. Our rating of the Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB (7/10): A dependable RGB case fan best bought as part of a full TT RGB Plus ecosystem rather than standalone.
Where the two are identical
