Obviously, the primary job of a case fan is to move air, but there are actually different situations a fan might find itself in, so there is no single fan design which will be the best for every application. It wasn't long before we realized something surprising many of the fans we tested did not even meet their own listed specifications! We began testing different fan blade designs as well as other manufacturer's fans to see if we could find out what made a great fan better than an average one. The test rig we went with is a LW-9266 Fan PQ Performance Measurement Apparatus made by LongWin and it fit the bill perfectly. When we decided we wanted to make our own fans, we knew that we wanted to start from scratch rather than using someone else's design, and to do this we would need a fan test rig that could accurately measure static pressure and CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute) at variable RPM. We currently sell many products that already come with fans, so it was a logical next step to manufacture our own fans which would meet our own specific needs, as well as the needs of hardware enthusiasts everywhere. Air Series™ fans are the latest addition to the Corsair lineup of products. Since then, we have successfully launched many more product lines designed specifically for the enthusiast PC builder. When I first started at Corsair back in 2007 we had recently got into the PSU business, and we were still primarily known as a memory company specializing in overclocking and enthusiast grade components.
