Review on 🌈 Antec Prizm Series RGB Fans, 120mm PC Fans with Addressable RGB, 5V-3PIN Sync with Motherboard, 5-Pack of 120mm Fans with Controller by David Caldwell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

24 LEDs is technically accurate, but with one caveat.

The fans are pretty quiet and drive enough air into my rather open case. I have no complaints about these fans doing their main job. What would have been helpful to know about these fans before I bought them was the LED configuration. Instead of a data line for the inner (fan hub) ring made of 6 LEDs lined up first and then chained to the outer ring. They are connected in parallel. So when you connect them to an ARGB controller to program custom lighting effects, you can't isolate the hub from the outer ring LEDs. If you program the first 6 LEDs to be white, the hub will turn white, but so will the first 6 LEDs on the outer ring. This also essentially gives you only 18 items to program. Here is the diagram: Reality: Inner Hub LEDs 1-6 = Addresses 1-6 Outer Ring LEDs 7-24 = Addresses 1-18 What it should be: Inner Hub LEDs 1-6 = Addresses 1-6 Outer Ring LEDs 7- 24 = addresses 7-24

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Volume
