Review on Corsair QL Series Ql120 RGB LED Fan [Triple Pack] - Lighting Node Core Included by Mark Lowery

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Amazing RGB fans, though. There are a few things to note

I bought a total of 4 QL 120 fans, 1 set of 3 and one. The fans look amazing, nothing can take away from how great these fans are at working with their RGB magic. That being said, a few things to say: 1) The screw holes are unthreaded, meaning you're basically spending a lot more time and effort getting screws into the plastic than you intended. I had no idea so get ready for a little work. After the second fan, it became easier for me to insert screws, remove them, and then attach the fans to the case. Otherwise, you'll probably make up some swear words. Pretty sure I did. 2) Quality Control. As you can see from the price, these fans don't come cheap. This Corsair model is one of the most expensive kits available today. All 3 packs I bought had the center cap decals misplaced. The silver Corsair logo, the sails cause a noticeable wobble when the fans spin, as shown in the video. A separately purchased fan will not have this problem and a 3-pack will not have this problem. Facing such a stupid problem, especially considering the price of these fans. Aside from trying to remove the stickers I don't know what to do as I just don't have the strength to replace them and go through this ordeal again. As for value for money, let's be honest. There is no. There is no need to buy this fan. The QL series is luxury and therefore desirable. It's important for me to know that I've upgraded my rig to add even more impactful lighting compared to the standard RGB my case came with. Was it worth what I paid? I don't think so, especially with a problem as stupid as mine. In general, the fans look stunning. I hope you receive the kit without any defects.
