I love the frame corner details and curves.

Nice. They kinda look like Delta's high end fans with a bit of added class.

They look almost identical to their ML120 Elite Premium fans they brought out in December apart from having what looks like more and narrower blades, I'm curious as to the actual specs.

EDIT

Read the specs, Much lower static pressure compared to the ML Premium, Roughly the same airflow.

It's so interesting and also confusing that they have these different lineups with ML, SP and AF series. I suppose SP stands for static pressure and AF for air flow? if so, then why are these new AF fans also advertised as great for heatsinks as well? What is there to look out for? How do the ML series perform in comparison?

Fan spec differences -

AF120 Elite
Airflow - 59.1 CFM
Static pressure - 1.93 mmH20
Speed range - 400-1850
Power draw - 0.38a
Sound - 31db

ML120 RGB Elite Premium
Airflow - 58.10 CFM
Static pressure - 2.90 mm-H20
Speed range - 400-2000 RPM
Power draw - 0.12a
Sound - 30db

All in all their newer ML series looks like the better all round product.

Yet their naming still haven't improved, like "Elite"? Come on...

Yeah I agree, The use of words like elite and pro seem like something I'd expect from my 13 year old cousin, Not a company run by adults but then again people are acting like teens now well into their 40's so I don't expect anything to change on that front any time soon.

True and agreed unfortunately ^_^
