Review on Phanteks PH FF140RGBP_BK01 Halos Density Mounting by Jeremy Monroe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

RGB backlight without price RGB

This is an amazing discovery for those who want to give their PC a "gamer" look without paying a "gamer" price. Before I start, a quick note: If you don't have a Phanteks case or their RGB controller, you NEED their Phanteks RGB LED 4-pin adapter designed for cases with RGB multi-color control (PH-CB_RGB4P) . You will also need a compatible motherboard. Most Z270, Z370, X299 and X399 "gaming" motherboards have RGB headers. There are others but I can't remember all of them and I'm sure you wouldn't want to read a long list. This particular model is made of plastic. There's an aluminum version for an extra $10, but in my case you'll never see anything but light. I placed it in front of a cheap transparent fan I bought for six dollars. The light is very bright and matches my Z370 Auros Gaming 5 motherboard and works well with the Auros RGB software (although the software itself is an issue). If you don't have over $50 for fancy RGB fans from Corsair or Asus, buy their cheaper fans and add them to the front or rear of the fan. I have it on the front of my Thermaltake MS-I Commander Snow Edition case and plan on getting another when I swap out the rear fan. I'd like to give this 5 stars, but the lack of information about the need for an adapter and the lack of one included (an extra $5 for the adapter) is a blow to the budget conscious who has a set spending limit in mind. Pros: - Works with RGB Fusion, Mystic Lights and Asus Sync. Looks very beautiful, especially in front of the transparent fan. Bright. Available in sizes 120 and 140 in plastic and aluminium.

Pros
  • regular price
Cons
