Corsair ML Series Magnetic Levitation Fan Review

Ordered two paired fan kits from Corsair - 2x 120mm and 2x 140mm. Have them in my case now and these fans can move a lot of air and produce a good amount of noise when they are pushing that air (i'm talking about 100% here).

I have a Fractal R5 tower. I put the a 120 and 140 mm in the front and one 140mm in the back. Used Speedfan to keep them around 30% when not gaming then up to 70% when gaming. Dead silent at 30% and barely audible at 70% though plenty of air flowing through the case to keep everything cool.

To the concerns about HDD, i have the HDDs about 1 inch (2.5 cm if i remember the conversion correctly) from the 120mm fan and no problems. Remember all fans have magnets. I am going to guess comparing the magnetic field is not significant from these fans to any other case fan

Yeah I doubt they would such fancy fans only to brake HDDs lol. Especially when so many cases have the HDD cages right next to intake fans.

If these fans (the 140mm ones) are anything like my SP140Ls then the noise will get noticeable/loud after 50%. So ~1300 RPM should be the sweet spot cooling/noise wise.
