Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great performers and audience with no price tag. Read the full review!

Some basic notes about these fans:** Edit: If you install these fans face down and run above 70% RPM, the fans will rattle. Any other mounting position is fine1) Price: Excellent value for money compared to other RGB fans. You can get 6 for the price of 3 Corsair ll120 fans. And these fans are just as good, if not better than these. 2) Authenticity: According to motherboard reports, these fans actually run between 1850 and 1975 RPM. 3) Performance: These fans have higher static pressure than other case fans, allowing better airflow through case vents and dust filters. I didn't check the cooler though. I definitely recommend other radiator fans. 4) Installation: Much better than Corsair RGB fans, but not the best in terms of cables. You can either connect the RGB to the motherboard (3-pin RGB headers) or to the control box that comes with 3 fan packs. I use my motherboard. Works as it should.5) Appearance: RGB is very beautiful. Red tones are slightly darker than the rest, but this is normal and not disturbing. The light is bright but not blinding. The colors are quite strong. Light mixing is pretty good too. You should really try to see where each LED is in the rings. 6) Aesthetic Versatility: These fans look good wherever you place them and from whatever angle you look at them. I have a lian li o11d XL and these fans below serve as air intakes. That means you're looking at the back of the fan, not the front. This usually means you can't see any of the RGB colors and it looks ugly, but these fans also have RGB rings on the back, making them MUCH more tolerable when viewed from the back of the fan. If you have a bottom fan mount case, I recommend these fans if you care about the aesthetics of that noisy PC. however. Fortunately, these fans are cheaper and less expensive to replace. 8) Quality: Despite my lower expectations for durability, these fans look and feel very high quality. Overall, I'd recommend these fans to anyone who doesn't want to spend Corsair's money on fans. Despite what you can read in other reviews, I find these fans to be particularly good value for money.
