Review on 🌈 DEEPCOOL CF120 3IN1 Addressable RGB 120mm PWM Fans with SYNC Capability for 5V ADD RGB 3-pin Header, Compatible with Other ADD-RGB Devices; Includes Cable Controller by Ken Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty good fans, but there are better options at this price

Likes: Easy to install: fasteners were well packaged and screws were easy to use. That's more important than you think. Color rendering: The colors were the same as on my motherboard. At normal temperature and activity, they are fairly quiet, the coils don't squeak, and the noises they make don't have an uncomfortable frequency, which reduces the number of connections to the motherboard. Bearing: The hydraulic bearing extends the service life. Cons: Wired controller: If you don't want to use motherboard controls (I don't like Mystic Light), the included controller is wired, so it's hard to get without opening it. the caseEffects: An activated controller cycles through multiple main effects at the speed or additional parameters included in each. But they are all the same, not sequential. Fans don't go through rainbows one by one or anything like that, they just do everything at the same time. That is to say, I mainly compare them to the cheaper Asia Horse FS-9002 3 in 1 fans that I put in my daughter's gear. You don't have any of these disadvantages. They have 28 lights per fan (making for more interesting lighting options) while the CF-120 has 12. They can be daisy-chained for power and have an RGB connector that can create up to 8 fan cascade effects. And they also use hydraulic bearings.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Has a few quirks
