upHere PF1206-5: 5-Pack 120mm Intelligent RGB Fans with Silent Control, Controller, and Remote Review

I installed these fans in my kid's game console last week. I upgraded my main work/production PC and in the process repurposed my Ryzen 7 3800X rig and turned it into a gaming rig for my kids. They loved it as they now have enough power to play any game in 4K resolution, but I left the case fans and needed to find something that looked and worked well to complement their setup. These fans are ideal for this purpose. At around $7 per fan, they're a lot nicer than I expected, cooling is on par…

Before I start this review, let me say that I've built a few computers and this isn't my first rodeo in terms of PC building. However, this is the first and last time I will buy anything from upHere to try and save a buck for some case enthusiasts. If you look at the photos I've uploaded, you'll notice that melted wire sleeves are visible on the proprietary fan controller. Long story short, when I turned on my system, I heard a loud audible pop and smoke filled the inside of my tower. Find out,

At $35 for a pack of five RGB fans, this should be the best option on a budget. Parcel arrived quickly, everything was well packed and works as advertised. Installation was easy, all fans are incredibly quiet and keep my system cooler than the stock 3 fans I had previously. They definitely push out some air, might not cool some $1500+ systems but I doubt anyone with a high end system would spend $35 on case fans lol. The remote works great (so far), overall a great purchase. Hope they last a…

The fans moved quite a bit of air and also looked better than some of the better fan manufacturers. They're quiet which is nice, they're controlled by their own controller which frees up the headers if you want more control over the exhaust and such. The main thing is that I give it an overall grade of 1, because less than 24 hours later problems with the RGB fan system started. I ended up getting a refund from Amazon for these things because they kicked me back in time for the customer to…

The remote stopped working with the unit and is now stuck in a setting. I've tried a few different batteries and unplugged the device to reset (if possible) and it's still stuck on a setting. There is no information about resetting the device or the remote control. Is he stuck in this mode right now? They look good and move the air. but 1 star because it quickly stopped changing things with the remote control. Damn.

These fans are very easy to install and power. They do NOT use any of the RGB controllers that you have on your motherboard and are only controlled with the remote that comes with the fans. They are very inexpensive and all work immediately. The kit includes a fan hub that connects MULTIPLE fans. It is powered by the SATA port of your power supply. There are only 2 notable issues with these fans (3 if you hate the remote control) 1. If you wanted to split the fans into 2 systems you couldn't…

I added all 5 to my computer. They work well, feel like decent quality, are fairly quiet and move a decent amount of air. Obviously, these aren't high-performance fans, but they do a pretty good job. Considering the price and how good they look I think this is a great deal. There are many different modes that you can set the fan LEDs to. I just keep them in this rainbow swirl mode. That looks great. You can set solid colors, different patterns, change the brightness or leave it on auto and it…
