This article covers CORSAIR iCUE SP140 RGB ELITE デュアルホワイト 140mm.

Overview

The CORSAIR iCUE SP140 RGB ELITE Dual White is a high-performance 140mm case fan dual pack that balances quiet operation with excellent cooling. Each fan features 8 individually addressable RGB LEDs, seamlessly integrating into the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem for stunning lighting effects. The AirGuide technology uses anti-vortex vanes to focus airflow, improving overall cooling efficiency inside the chassis. The included iCUE Lighting Node CORE simplifies RGB control via USB 2.0 and SATA power, reducing cable clutter. In terms of performance, PWM control allows the fan speed to range from 400 to 1,200 RPM, delivering up to 68.1 CFM of airflow and 1.66 mm-H2O of static pressure. With a noise level of only 18 dBA, these fans are exceptionally quiet, making them ideal for users who want vibrant RGB lighting without sacrificing silence. The translucent low-noise blades are designed to maximize airflow while showcasing the RGB LEDs.

Compatibility Guide

This product is a standard 140mm case fan, compatible with most PC cases that offer 140mm fan mounts. It can also be mounted on 140mm radiators and CPU cooler heatsinks. The fans use a 4-pin PWM connector for speed control, and the fan header on the motherboard must support PWM. RGB control requires the included iCUE Lighting Node CORE, which connects to a USB 2.0 internal header and SATA power. Note that these fans are not compatible with motherboard 3-pin ARGB headers; they only work through the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem.

Product Info

The CORSAIR iCUE SP140 RGB ELITE is a mid-to-high-end fan series designed for performance builds. With a focus on static pressure, these fans excel in restrictive scenarios like radiators and heatsinks. The dual pack includes two fans and the iCUE Lighting Node CORE, making it an easy entry point for building a cohesive RGB system. The product typically carries a 2-year warranty (please confirm with your retailer). Released around 2021, it remains widely available and popular among PC builders.

Best Use Cases

  • Silent gaming PC builds: The 18 dBA noise level ensures you can enjoy immersive gaming or content creation without fan noise intrusion. PWM control keeps speeds low at idle and ramps up only when needed. - RGB-focused builds: With iCUE software, each LED can be individually customized, allowing synchronized lighting across the entire PC. The included Lighting Node CORE eliminates the need for extra controllers. - Adding fans to radiators or heatsinks: The focused airflow and 1.66 mm-H2O static pressure make these fans effective on liquid cooling radiators or large CPU coolers. They work well in push/pull configurations on 240mm or 280mm radiators.

Things to Consider

These are 140mm fans; they cannot fit into 120mm fan mounts. RGB control is exclusive to the CORSAIR iCUE ecosystem and does not work with motherboard ARGB headers. The Lighting Node CORE occupies a USB 2.0 internal header, so ensure your motherboard has an available header or plan to use a USB hub. The package includes only standard screws; no anti-vibration rubber mounts are provided. While very quiet, if absolute silence is your top priority, you may want to compare with other low-rpm fans like Noctua's offerings.
