Review on Pccooler Moonlight Series 120Mm RGB LED Fan - Enhancing PC Performance With Dual Light Loop Quiet Fan And Various Light Modes by Elijah Harvey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for water cooling loops as claimed. Too noisy in that configuration sadly.

These should be only considered as case fans.The manufacturer claims suitable for rad cooling but they aren't because of noise in that configurationreview is for the 5x kit and the individual 120mm replacement fan as wellthe hub and fans in the 5x kit come with 4 pin VRBG 5volt plugsthe individual replacement VRGB fan comes with a 3 VRGB pin 5volt (4th pin hole is plugged up)Pros:relatively well built and especially for the moneyblack sleeved cables of good lengthRGB effect numerous and look good . but see conshub can control up to 7 VRGB 5volt fans . but see consremote control useful if you don't want to use SpeedFan in windowsprice for the 5x kitCons:only for case cooling, as they can't move enough air thru a rad unless at full speedreal noisy at 70 > 100 % rpm. rad mounted I was needing to run at about 75% to push any meaningful amount of air thru the radsthe hub provided cannot control the 7 RGB effect in the same way.not all 7 plugs are synced meaning you can't do the same swirling effect at the same time on all fans. the plugs are grouped 3 , 2 , 2 for the syncs and not placed in order on the hubthe individual replacement fans come with a 3 pin VRGB with the 4th hole plugged up so can't be used with the 5x kit to complement the amount of fansI ended up buying two 5x kits to be able to run 7 fansthe 5x kit and the 3x kit don't use the same VRGB plugs (4 vs 3 pin holes) and the hubs are therefore differentthe single 12v RGB plug can't seem to control a 12v RGB strip (didn't work with my EK RGB reservoir)conclusions.- As I said before not for a custom water loop like mine as the fans end up being way too noisy.this ended up the reason I replaced them for much more expensive and sadly non RGB Noctua fans- If you need more than 5 fans you may have to buy 2 kits unless you go with the 3 kit and complement, as the hub on the 3 kit uses different plugs

This was my first build, and I didn''t realize my MSI Tomahawk B450 was a four pin and the fans are 3 pin, and that matters when it comes to RGB''s. Luckily the fans came with a controller that I was able to connect not only these fans, but I was able to connect my liquid cooler rgb fans to the controller to keep a uniform look, with no studder or lag. The controller has a lot of options on it. The fans themselves are real quiet, they have a nice padding where you screw it in, so there is zero rattle. My motherboard is able to control each fan speed as needed which is convenient.
