These are great. They sell for $15 US for a box of three, yet come with features like, ARGB and daisy chaining, that other manufacturers charge a significant premium for without sacrificing quality. Great pro-consumer business practice.

Yeah, like 18-19ish bucks Canadian for a pack of three fans up here too eh. They're *really* nice and quiet, and I have 5 of these running in my system :) The LED lighting provides some dumb amusement, probably a heck of a lot more of it than 18 bucks worth of Netflix :)

These are case fans, which are designed for more airflow at lower pressure. They're not the best for radiators. Radiator fans are designed for less airflow but more pressure to force the air through the radiator. They have more and narrower blades. Case fans have fewer blades and they're quieter, radiator fans are very slightly louder but much better for air pressure.

@TechLabUK 9 ай бұрын

I suspect the controller is doing something weird as these have standard headers on them. Maybe a faulty controller? Although your power to your molex/sata power cables should go off when the system is shut down so maybe a fault with PSU not shutting it off properly.

They're nice fans but if you intend on kitting out your PC with these and for example you can install 6 to 8 fans on your case? Buy 12 to 16 fans, it might be overkill but the cheapness can show on some batches with bad bearings and grinding noises. You want to have more fans than you need to have if you go with these to ensure you don't have to deal with bad fans.

How do I know if daisy-chaining the 12V PWM will not exceed what my mobo header delivers? I read that you shouldn't connect more than 1 case fan to a mobo header. Is daisy-chaining the PWM only safe through a separate (case or ARGB) controller that gets its own additional power from the PSU?
