Review on πŸŒ€ Green Thermaltake Riing 12 Series 120mm High Static Pressure Circular LED Ring Fan with Anti-Vibration Mounting System for Case and Radiator Cooling - CL-F038-PL12GR-A by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks good, feels high quality but makes noise when worn and has serious flaws!

Update: Buy Arctic P12 PWM for CPU Coolers Instead I know they look great and look like high quality fans, but alas. CPU fan duo due to their noise and lack of control over their speed. - You can't control the fan speed with the motherboard, only with the fan controller and even with the lowest setting of my fan controller. it's still noisy and when they wear out you can't turn it down enough to keep the noise down + you can't oil them. When these fans wear out. My god the noise and buzz is very annoying and gives me a headache. I disabled them until I had new fans. There is a low noise adapter cable but I don't like these because they get hot. Even out of the box, they are a bit noisy compared to normal fans. Because of them, I started hating all "statically optimized fans". until I tried the Arctic P12 PWM (black/clear) on my 212 EVO, they don't oil. ) Fans for each case fan arrangement Static pressure for CPU coolers only. ------------- ------------------------------------------------- -- ------------- ---------Feedback after 2 months of using these fans. I recommend them :) I love these fans. It comes with everything you need, no need to worry about fan speed, vibration or cables (I forgot if they come with screws or not. Not sure. Sorry lol). First off, it's a 3-pin fan. NOT 4-pin PWM fanPros+: +high static pressure (good for a heatsink or heatsink or if you have a limited front air intake "hard drive cage - lots of hard drives - filters") for me I use 2 of these fans in ( front intake cases with Thermaltake FINE "small holes" filter + HDD cage + 3 HDDs and I can add more) and these fans keep them cool even when I run them with a fan controller and a unique ring LED backlight at low speed (note: if They reduce the voltage of the fan The LED light is also dimmed "lower brightness") + Attaching anti-vibration rubber pads + It is supplied with a low-noise (LNC) cable with {sheath} = 13 cm = length 5, 1 inch delivered . Fan speed from 1500RPM to 1000RPM and noise level from 24.6dB-A to 18.7dB-A+, it also comes with 4-pin Molex connector (male/female) with 3-pin connector = 32 cm = length 12.59 inches + also the cable itself fan in the sleeve = length 46 cm + 3 years warranty + available with different led versions (red, blue, green, white), make sure you have the right color before buying cons -:- it is a 3-pin fan, not a PWM fan. i don't care # cable lengths: * fan cable = (46 cm, 18.11 inches) * low-noise "LNC" cable = (13 cm, 5.1 inches) * 4-pin Molex male/female” to "3”. Pin Male "= (32 cm, 12.59") in 2 months. so far so good and i'm happy with 2 of these fans if you find this review helpful. Click "yes" below, es will motivate me to add more reviews and updates.
