Revainrating 5 out of 5

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

The first copy was with a defective fan. The unit was installed with the fan facing down and the valve made rubbing noises when spinning up/stopping. I took it off and upon inspection I found that the fan plays if you turn the unit over in your hands or shake it a little. Took it back to the store. The second copy was already caught without a marriage, there was no backlash of the turntable at all. Initially, I also put it with the valve down, since the case has a hole with a filter for air intake from below. At the same time, there was also a very quiet, barely distinguishable sound from the fan at startup. Probably such feature of a design/bearing of the fan. Turned the valve up, it works quietly, well, the backlight became visible in the case. I didn’t return it anymore, because at that time there was no version with RGB sync on sale. When buying, immediately check the fan play in the store - twist the unit in your hands, shake it slightly, it should not make any sounds. However, I give it 5 stars. If you are building a quiet system, then this unit is more than suitable! Although because of the valve it would be necessary to put 4.5.

Pros
  • RGB sync version - works quietly. - the ability to turn off the fan at low load, and there is a separate switch for this mode. - 10 year guarantee. - flat and long wires-loops. - illumination with synchronization with other luminous components in the case. - build quality. - a bag for wires in the kit, the presence of various adapters.
Cons
  • - it is difficult to disconnect the connected cables. - The fan may make noise when starting/stopping if the unit is installed with the fan down.
