Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bad stock. But good color and presentation

**UPDATE Fans stay aloud. The product owner contacted me and said they would send me a set of fans that had been refurbished in hopes of replacing the noisy fan I received. I agreed and never got a reply from them and got nothing. The fans still work, but the company's halfhearted efforts to support their product and give me hope of a replacement only left me with an even worse experience. This is NOT a reflection of actual working fans which I like and the review below says so. Original Review ------ Got it after watching the video from BITWIT. I'm replacing my old Apevia ring fans which to be honest have terrible flow and barely glow. At first glance the fans look great and I can't say I like them. Good build quality, all hardware included, clear instructions. The problem occurs when I actually have them enabled and running. I didn't notice it when I installed the first fan because it worked fine, I just assumed they would all work. One of the fans appears to have a bad bearing and is making a harsh buzzing noise. It's pretty annoying. Color control is good and it can be very quiet. if you get them with good bearings. Also, there is no WHITE on the LED ring, so you can't make colors white. FLOW is good, with the A setting I have a good power curve and I am happy with its performance. topped by 1900 rpm, not that I actually pushed it there. The CONTROLLER is simple, but the cables running through it don't really make any sense. You'll need to place this outside of your case to access it and change the colors. So why not design it so that the controller input and controller output come from the same side? This means that there is no need to try to fold the cables back into the housing. In addition, you get a color button, a speed button, and a mode button. NOISE is actually quite low (on those with good bearings). The bad one is annoying and that's why this product gets less stars than usual. This is a good and inexpensive replacement for case fans. These aren't Noctuas (I have two 140mm intakes) but they do a good job of venting hot air. IF they could test their fan's performance and increase quality control and if I could get a third fan that worked fine I would get 5 stars. I'm thinking about sending it back so I don't have to hear the noisy camp
