Review on CORSAIR LL120 120Mm Single Pack by Sean Maples

Nice lighting, but too expensive. I prefer Cooler Master MF120 Halos Corsair LL120. At first glance, LL120 is BETTER, but at the cost of over-complication. Yes, every single LED of the LL120 can be turned on and off individually for any desired color. BUT, that's too hard for me. I want to hit some preset patterns and not stop there. If Corsair made better presets that made more sense, that would be cool. But their preset patterns are lame and it takes too much effort to set the exact color/brightness/strobe pattern of each LED individually. In default settings, the Cooler Master MF120 are just as beautiful as the Corsair LL120 and 30% cheaper. The ability to tune each LED individually is simply not necessary, and the PITA royalty, plus Corsair touts their backlights work in sync with MSI's Mystic Lights. That's true, but for it to work, the motherboard needs to have a special connector. This connector is only found on the high-end boards, and Corsair does not disclose it in its literature. Without this connector you will not be able to sync all your RGB lights and will need to use multiple software applications. It's not worth it.
