The biggest difference is Corsair’s first complete full-length PSU shroud. The Corsair 220T RGB Airflow case has a different internal design than most of the company’s other chassis. Both of those alternative options would arguably do a far better job of pulling air through that intriguingly cut-out front panel than the spinners the 220T is touting. But then again you can reduce the overhead speed on those two contenders down to 60-70% anyway, retain good static pressure figures, and have them at that level of audible volume too.

The iCUE SP120 RGB Pros top out at around 26 dBA, compared to 36 dBA for the 2012 SP 120, or 37 dBA for the ML 120 Pro. The fans do produce a lot less noise at max tilt than some of Corsair’s other fans. Compare that to an SP 120 back from 2012 at 3.1 mmH2O, or Corsair’s latest pressure kings the ML 120 Pros clocking in at an incredible 4.2 mmH2O, and you can see these things are potentially more suited to that AF moniker than the SP badge they’ve been given here, but even then they don’t really push that much air either.

At full tilt the 120mm version pushes out a maximum static pressure of around 1.45 mmH2O. These new iCUE SP variants just don’t hit the mark for a static pressure optimized fan. Since then Corsair has also launched the ML series (magnetic levitation), the HD series (high definition, because RGB), the LL series (light ring), and some cheaper variants of various AF and SP LED fans. The company also released an AF variant, or air flow version, to help shift air in use cases where static pressure wasn’t quite as necessary. The original SP fans are a fairly old design at this point (circa 2012) with an iconic, swappable colored ring and some beefy stats to boot. For any unfamiliar with Corsair’s naming schemes, SP stands for static pressure.
