I've used a few Red Dragon products in the past and honestly have always been pleasantly surprised. No they aren't going to be on par or beat high end brands, but for the price it's usually a safe purchase. I even had a good experience with their customer service. Bought a keyboard with hot swap PCB and came with blue clicky switches. I didn't like them and reached out to Red Dragon to see if they would be willing to send me some brown switches to install. I only asked bc they included a 3 pack of alternative switches with the keyboard. Red Dragon said they don't stock sets of switches, but instead sent me an entire new keyboard with Brown switches for free...and said I could keep the one I purchased. The interesting thing was that they didn't ask me to do the typical (China junk ripoff company) thing, where they tell you to give the product a 5⭐ review due to the free product. So Red Dragon is typically worth taking a chance on, at least for peripherals....I don't know how much I'd trust the longevity of an AIO but who knows

I recently used the Icoler fans (V1) for a build I will be attempting to sell soon. They were nice to work with, and I'll be using them in my next build, for sure. As for the AIO, I went with a Thermalright 360mm AIO, which was cheaper than the Red Dragon one. If you haven't looked into Thermalright yet, definitely do so.

@ThePhoenix198 16 күн бұрын

Must admit that so far, I have avoided Thermalright products; the name sounds too much like a knock-off of 'Thermaltake'. But then I suppose that there are a finite number of company names beginning with 'Thermal'. If this video is the precursor of a series, then I'd second the request for you to investigate Thermalright products.

I've had those fans saved on my Amazon account for several months now, but couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger on them yet. I worried about them being too loud under load since they’re cheap knock offs. Maybe I'll give them a try. Icoler also makes a 30mm thick fan with the same Uni Fan look. I’d be interested in the performance of those fans as well!

I’ve been flipping PCs for over 5 years and pretty much every single build I’ve done had “knockoff” parts in it! Very often they are produced in the same factory as much more premium brands and you get pretty much the same product. Knowing what to buy and what to avoid is not as trivial though!

They very often are not produced in the same factory as actual quality brands, just in the same factories as brands trying to appear premium.
