Corsair SP140 RGB Elite Review

For anyone typing '140mm version of the SP120 RGB Elite', Corsair scaled the same static-pressure-focused SP design up to 140mm and it's exactly that.

We'd recommend it for a 140mm radiator or a filtered front intake where you still want RGB, since it keeps most of the SP120's pressure per fan despite the larger blade.

SP vs ML vs AF

Corsair's SP line sits between the airflow-focused AF fans and the premium magnetic-levitation ML fans, using a hydraulic bearing and narrower blade tips for moderate static pressure at a mid-range price.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Corsair ML140 PRO RGB already in this catalog, the SP140 RGB Elite is louder and less pressure-efficient but costs noticeably less, making it the better call for filling multiple 140mm mounts on a budget. Against the be quiet! Light Wings 140mm PWM high-speed in the catalog, the be quiet! fan runs quieter at similar airflow, so pick that one if noise matters more than saving money per fan.

Our verdict

Expert rating7 / 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.
