Wow... so uh... you guys completely wiped out the Amazon inventory of these... I'm glad I got 2 sets but wish I got more now. oops

For anyone wondering, Almost 3 years in and mine are still fully functioning and quiet.

"I want you guys to see the price in the links" Ah yes, the low low price of currently unavailable

A few comments about fluid bearings from an engineer: - mounting them vertically is preferred (opposite of what Jay said). In fact, it is the best type of bearing for this application! Because the axle is not touching the bearing, there is no wear in this mounting position. A sleeve and ball bearing both will show uneven wear and fail eventually. (Search for hertzian pressure if you want to learn more) - A liquid fluid is incompressible! (Generally speaking) - A fluid bearing is self-centering so any wobble of the fan blades come from the the plastic itself being crooked an NOT from the bearing - a fluid bearing IS basically a sleeve bearing but whereas a cheap sleeve doesn't bother with lubricant and uses just the low friction coefficient from the sleeve as "lubrication", the fluid bearing has a noticeable gap between shaft and sleeve containing a lubricating oil and requiring a seal! -contrary to common belief, the fluid is not pressurised. The pressure comes from the relative motion between shaft and bearing. The underlying physical phenomenon is impulse diffusion due to shear stress in the fluid Now, mounting your fan horizontally (e.g. top exhaust), all the weight of the fan blades now rest on the seal instead of the lubrication fluid, hence the opposite of what Jay said is true. Fluid bearing is best for front and rear mounting, ball bearing and sleeve better suited for bottom and top mount.

Microcenter is the one sponsor that everyone’s happy to see

"In stock on June 7, 2020." Now priced at $41.99, supply and demand...

You said balls, shaft, and oiled all in the same sentence 😂

That dude with the long white hair in the sponsor looks like he is about to give you amazing powers and immortality

Its sad that we dont have stores like Microcenter in Europe

Your "unscientific method" of figuring out the rpm, was actually rather clever. You guys get a nod for that one.

Got these In September of 2019, 5 pack, and they are all still running and the remote is still working!

The guy at Micro Center was my sales guy today! He was extremely knowlegable!

Jay: guys look at thi- Everybody: buys it Also everybody: its unavailable

Jayz : These are pretty cheap Everyone : I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

Thank you for this video! I've been putting together a build with a budget of $2000, and thought I'd tightened up as much as I could. I was prepared to drop nearly $300 on 6 Corsair LL fans, but thanks to you I found these gems, which now come in a PWM version with a hub that connects to the mobo for fan and RGB control. A 5 pack of these fans was around $50 on Amazon. The specs are nearly identical to the Corsair LLs. So now I've got $200+ back in my budget that I can put toward a new GPU (you know...whenever I can actually buy one). It's rare that something I see I KZfaq provides tangible benefits beyond just being entertaining. Thanks so much dude.

I'm glad I found these. I completely dislike fans that have a RGB strip around the blades that light up without actually giving colour to the blades themselves. But the fan packs with controllers I found in my country were mainly of this type. Then I saw your video and searched these up and found them at the same price and in stock in my country (lit up blades, 5 fans, controller and all). Thanks for the review. You really helped Jay!

"Currently unavailable" Holy $hit thats cheap.

1 minute and they’re already out of stock.

That moment where Jay realized what was gonna come with saying shaft going through balls was epic. Friggin gold.

For anyone wondering i have a uphere 5 pack it comes with an rgb controller and it uses a controller warning it uses 3 pin but it also can be connected to aura sync. The fans have a wide range of colors and are super quiet. 10/10 fans for a budget price

I'm impressed Jay got through the "shaft and balls" discussion with a mostly straight face, I would've lost it.

0:27 Geralt of Micro Center

Looks like Lucius Malfoy is doing well for himself working at Micro Center.

I love how reasonable these are and how attainable they are for so many people

for those wondering, the price was $35.00 for the 5 pack with the hub.

When you are about to buy your new fans, just to realize that they are sold out😰

I've had these for about a year now. I love them. I also use their sleeved cable extensions

I've use these in my PC, I've been running 8 of them total. The RGB controller that's included has it's issues. For starters, it will sync to your motherboard RGB program, but only until you turn off the system. Then you will have to open your case back up and hit the sync button on the controller. You can avoid this by buying their 3 pin addressable models and using splitters. If you're looking for a silent fan or are a snob when it comes to how loud you like your fans are higher RPMs, these aren't for you. But if you're a gamer who wears a headset while playing games, you should pull the trigger on these 100%.

This video brought to you by: “Currently Unavailable”

The company that has these is probably SO confused right now...."EDDY! ALL THE FANS ARE GONE! WHAT THE H**** JUST HAPPENED?"

For anyone wondering, this company does sell a 5V RBG to iCUE lead. You can connect the hub to a Commander Pro and use iCUE with these RGB fans. and yes it does work.

I bought a set of these for my daughter's new build, and they look great. They shift loads of air, and the set of five are quieter than my stock AMD cooler. They look brilliant.

"They only gave me four. Oh there's one in my hand". That's like looking for your hat when it was on your head the whole time!

JayzTwoCents: "I could not find any stats on the fans" me: *goes to Amazon link and scroll to product description* 'Weird' Spec.

Back in stock righ' now! I've just ordered my set. Thanks for showing us good deals!

The way you guys figured out how to determine the rpm is wonderful! I've become wiser! Gonna use this sometime

I have used these fans for a while, I have put them in a dozen builds and have had a great experience. The Hub lighting can sometimes be a little wonky but out of the 20 kits I have bought probably 2 of them have had wonky lights. They move air great and keep a system surprisingly cool. But now that Jay made this video I can't buy a single kit now, as they are always unavailable now so I am having to try other kits.

I literally had these fans in my Amazon cart to buy before this video ever went out. Went to pull the trigger today and they're now out of stock. Thanks Jay ya JERK 😂😂

Loved this video so much and of course the price so I just put them in my own rig. So happy with the look! Thanks, always love your content

9:46 Holy smokes that's the biggest brain energy I've ever seen in measuring fans RPM

Wife: "coronavirus is looking pretty bad, did you order the toilet paper and hand sanitizer like I asked?" Jay: "nope, check out these super cheap fans I got in the mail today!"

Specs lifted from the Amazon UK link you provide: Specifications Size: 120 × 120 × 25 mm Weight: Approximately 163 g Number of fan LEDs: 16 Rotation speed: 1200 (± 10%) RPM Air volume: 56.27 CFM Noise: 23.9 dBA Rated current: 0.42 A Connector interface: 6 PIN

Thank you for this, I was hesitant to get them.

Amazing fans. I just purchased 30 for a bunch of new build. Sold 2 PC's this week and both clients were super stoked about the lights.

Gamer nexus: We spent the last six months improving on our CPU cooler testing. JayzTwoCents: Lets tape paper to it! LOOK AT IT GO!!! I love both channels it's so much fun to see different approaches to tech :)

I found these today and thought, "wow, I'm gonna bookmark these for later." Then I randomly see them on your channel and think, "well I better go buy them, I thought they looked good." Went to go buy them, CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. Damn peeps caught on quick.

i purchased 2 musetek cases and built PCs for both my kits, they came with these fans and hub. 2 years later still work amazing, both pc are watercooled as well

"In stock August 9, $50" 😶

Jay: “you guys should buy this” Loyal Fans: “buys entire stock, crashes website”

When you consider the price, it's fantastic. I've installed rgb fans from 2 different vendors purchased from Amazon and they work great. No wobbling either and super quiet.

These are actually fabulous. They're damn good and I love them

I've got similar fans, same company though. Just have light ring around the edge. I've not had any problems, they keep my system cool enough and they look pretty good. Some nice effects going on. I would totally recommend.

Jay: these fans are che- Everybody: shut up and take my money!

Hats off to Phil: great editing skills, great behind the camera (literally) reactions, great subtle adds to the video. Dude, you rock!

2 years in with these fans and they’re still great! And they work with SignalRGB!

16:36 - That wobble might actually be from carving it. For extremely cheap production for parts that need to be semi balanced, they might be using a shaving mechanism on the hubs to keep the center of gravity dead center-ish. It's inexpensive, fast, and when you end up with stuff flying out of a mold willy-nilly for cost, it's an easy automated way for balancing.

"A ring of balls that the shaft goes through" -Jay

They have specs listed on the Amazon UK link you put in the description. Rotation speed: 1200 (± 10%) RPM Air volume: 56.27 CFM Noise: 23.9 dBA

I'm so glad I found this channel. As a console gamer thinking of building a gaming rig I'm learning alot

I bought some in white a couple of days ago, there are now ones with both ARGB and PWM wires which both go through the hub, they are slightly more expensive but can be controlled completely through the MOBO.

"super duper budget RGB build..." ryzen 7 3700x and a 2080 Ti... and a full EK custom loop.

"Guess I'll check the amazon link before watching this video, Jay always has one for these kinds of reviews." Currently Unavailable "Well, I guess that means they're pretty solid. I really hope Jay uses this power responsibly." Now we just need a DIY custom loop video so we can clean out Lowes' inventory.

ive been using this brand for over 2 years now and they are still fine, ive got the ones where the outside of the fans light up and the blades are black, looks awesome

Those fans with that hub came pre-installed in my case. They are amazing and quiet AF

Thanks for taking time to review lower end hardware for the "working man" (or woman)!

I bought a very similar set for $30 on amazon like a month ago. Very minor differences. They work just fine for such a cheap price. And they make me feel like fancy boy!

4:00 lives in my head rent free for over a year, I can't stop laughing.

Great job holding it together on the ball bearing explanation. :D

I bought a 6 pack of these months ago when I built my PC and I haven’t had any problems so far.

I bought a 6 pack of these fans at christmas 2019, so far they are really good, was very pleased with the result so far.

Getting close to finishing my list of pc parts for my gaming pc, my case came with no fans so thank you!

I’ve had 5 of these fans in my system for just over a year now. I have three horizontally at the bottom of my case which even though filtered still pull in some dust. Through regular cleaning the seals have yet to have any issues and are still super quiet. I have two mounted vertically which as stated in the video have a slight amount of wobble to them. Once spinning the wobble is only noticeable if you stare directly at it. Overall really happy with the performance of these shiny boys.

consumer logic: *before jay's review:* "i cant buy it cuz i didnt knew it." *after jay's review:* "i cant buy it cuz i dont have money, and even if i do, it is not available." *market:* stonks

0:32 "You get more for your money this holiday season" Wait... which holiday season? It's *March.*

I used the entire kit on my nephew's pc, he was SUPER stoked when I did this, a new RGB power supply and a Kraken AIO along with two of the same LED strips laid down on the base of his pc inside, his pc looks completely different.

So i bought these a month ago, I have successfully modded a connector on it to run deep cool RGB off the same controller. The combination connectors these use are basically combined power (3pin) and the RGB 3pin. I haven't tried connecting them backwards (fan to a mobo) but if the deepcool fans work with the controller i bet they will work with a mobo if you modify the cable.

I actually use these in my home rig, and I actually rolled with a $25 set that didn't use the RGB header, since I already have my header occupied by other things. It's literally the exact same thing, 5 120 mm RGB fans with a controller, they're super quiet, they've lasted me a long time, and when you flip through the color modes on the remote there's at least 50 different settings. I love these things, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a budget fan setup. I'm using three in the front pulling air in, and two in the back pulling air out and not once have I had a temperature problem.

I can just imagine the push pull setups that DIY PC realtors are planning. When value is offered, people will take 'the risk'...

0:58 "Look, I don't even want to tell you what the price is" 16:55 "At 35 bucks"

Thank you for the info on fans and bearings. Learned something new. Did realize my case fan has same bearing and mounted vertically. This time last year could not find non RGB low cost fans and went with the ones I have.

Been using these for about a year now. Really quiet, love the RGB lighting, however wish there was an option to change the speed.

0:40 wtf is Ghostemane doing working at microcenter?

I bought the DS model off Amazon. 3 -120mm, 2 LED strips, and the controller with remote. Looks beautiful and works great on my 10 year old computer. With a new white case, they look amazing. I just did it for my kid who uses it now.

2 years plus and mines still run great, even have one with a broken off wire and everything still works fine. Great fans I think.

Looked on Newegg out of curiosity, same thing (in stock) is $80. Holy moly I can't wait for those things to be back instock on Amazon

For those who can't see the price, looks like PCpartpicker has the 5-pack with the hub for 35.99. But zero links to anywhere that it's in stock.

ive had those fans for over 3 years and theyve been running quiet and still push air well

I bought the Asia horse version of these. Great buy for the price. 10 fans after 1 year and no complaints

KZfaqrs: wow guys this is so cheap KZfaqrs: *singlehandedly cause shortage of item* KZfaqrs: no idea why you can't buy that

I've been using EZDIY-Fab fans in my build for a while, a frankly gorgeous 5-pack that have several rings of RGB lighting around housing. Super quiet, good airflow, but they also work with my motherboard's RGB controls (Aura Sync). Got them for around this price as well, but they're not offered anywhere now. Can't be much more than a year ago I bought them, can't really say I see any downside in my experience, at this price point especially.

Great video. Lots of great information about fans.

Have these fans in my build they are awesome! Had them about 7 months no issues and works with Aura Sync :)

Jay : sponored by a good pc store Me : *cries in australian*

I've bought 2 sets of the uphere branded ones on Amazon and they're just okay. they don't seem to move a lot of air but they work.

I had a look into these but a lot of reviews said the controller had problems where if you wanted to sync to motherboard via aRGB header then every time you powered down the system it would revert to remote control and you had to change it back manually every single time. I wanted 3 for the front of my case but ended up getting a coolermaster 360mm for £35 cos it hooks all 3 fans up with one ARGB, they have PWM control, and you can also control the lights on all 3 fans individually - doesn't look like you can with the EZDIY ones - at least no review I've seen has demonstrated it.

They do have a PWM controlled one and its pretty decent. they go up to 1800rpm and performs really well as a radiator fan as well.

Thanks alot Jay! You made it sell out already >:(

I bought these for my build 5 months ago and they do a pretty great job for how budget friendly they are. Fan hub is a bit sketchy though.

Kolink observatory uses the same fans and controller, solid semi quiet fans and cool effects

this channel is one of my best KZfaq finds of all time
