Review on upHere RGB Case Fan with Motherboard Sync, Adjustable Colorful LED Fans, Controller and PWM Fans - PF1207-5. by Jason Arkin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unbeatable value, performance and looks.

I only used 4 out of 5 fans. I wasn't sure about the connectors, fan cable length, etc., so here's my experience. I'm building a cheap mATX case with an ASRock motherboard. The package contains five fans, each with a standard 3-pin Argb header with a 5-volt socket and a standard 4-pin PWM fan header with a socket. The cables in my case are long enough that I can run them all through the main connection and back to the included six-port Argb and PWM management hub. I don't know, maybe I just missed it in the specs, but I wasn't expecting that. It's really well made with the included adhesive on the back, and even in this cheap case with a standard bezel and little space, it easily had enough room to stick under the motherboard cutout. The brightness and spread of the LEDs is higher than I expected, although I didn't connect them to the keyboard, mouse and monitor, I just turned them on and used the default setting on the motherboard, which appears to be a blue tint. . It also has a connector on the control hub that you can plug in, you can plug in any of the switches on the front but you can take a reset switch for example and plug it in and it says you can control 50 different colors and pattern- Combinations if you don't want to use the motherboard's Argb control. Power is supplied via the SATA power connector to the power cable, so there is no risk of pulling too hard through the motherboard connectors. Even with the fans running at 100% on power up, since I had nothing plugged in to even go into the BIOS and change settings, they still weren't annoyingly loud, and I certainly know that's just as related to case design, but it is a ventilated front case with two 120mm cutouts on the front for two 120mm fans on top and one 120mm fan on the back, and it has no noise isolation, it's ABKO NCORE for $20. Overall, I think they do an excellent job of de-airing the case in combination with the i5-9400F's Deep Cool air cooler and two EVGA GTX1660 Super fans. UPDATE: I couldn't control aRGB via ASRock Polychrome. or UEFI interface when using the supplied hub. I resigned myself to bypassing the hub for aRGB when I noticed the "Reset sw" pins. I connected a reset switch to the hub and lo and behold, a long press toggled between motherboard/software control and hub control. A short press with Hub Control enabled toggles the built-in modes. So. If you are having trouble managing your mobile device and/or software, please flip the switch on the hub and switch from hub to PC control!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
