Antec RGB Fans, PC Fans 120mm RGB Fans, 5V-3PIN Addressable RGB Fans, Motherboard SYNC with 5V-3PIN, 120mm Fan 5 Packs with controller, Prizm Series RGB Fans

I honestly do not at all remember how long ago I bought these. Maybe 3 years ago..? Somewhere between then and 2 years ago. Anyway, these have lasted a long time and stayed silent all the time. Even at full RPM while they do sound like a jet occasionally, it is very quiet compared to an office computer fan.They also look fairly clean and good. The LED light spots aren’t really faded that well but they look pretty damn good considering. I can’t complain. The bearings have yet to start making noise in the horizontal and vertical positions.

These fans are very cheap, and overall look great, in my opinion better that corsair fans, but there are some major limitations with that cheapness. For those not looking to tinker a lot I recommend getting the fans without the RGB in the middle as those can be controlled by software as simple 18 LED RGB strips. The fans with the RGB in the middle don't add an additional signal for the RGB LEDs in the middle instead defaulting to the first 6 colors of the strip, placed directly to the middle 6 rgb leds. These fans are also so cheap they come with some quality control issues. I've had 2 of the total 23 fans I've purchased completely fail, and an additional one making a loud clicking noise. However you could argue there so cheap you could just buy another one, or go with a protection plan of some sorts. I've also had large difficulties with Antec Support meaning if one of these fans fail, I would save your time and just buy an additional pack extra in case they fail. On top of that these fans are not well balanced. For case fans this likely wont lead to any issues, nor will it be an issue for those using it on a radiator, but if you decide to use these fans on say an air cooler for the CPU your gonna have a bad time if your case either has a detachable motherboard tray, or a motherboard that isn't made up to snuff such as lower end Intel HX10 Chipsets, or AMD AX20 chipsets, as the vibrations have in one of the systems caused over time the fine contacts to fail in the motherboard. My recommendation is to avoid this use case all together and look elsewhere for better balanced fans. Another thing to note is these fans do daisy chain the ARGB signal, and overall I haven't had issues daisy chaining 3 or 4 fans together but if you go past that depending on the motherboard and your luck you could overload those tiny cables. It is for this reason I recommend sticking at the standard of 4 fans daisy chained together or less for longevity. Another thing to note is on the included fan headers for ARGB signal don't work well with certain power supplies that may shut off SATA power when the systems shut off. This means the motherboard control some may want to use these for will be difficult as the fan controller will revert to non motherboard control meaning to get back to motherboard control you will need to either open the case and change the settings or just leave it be with whatever it happens to chose for lighting control. It is for this that I recommend either getting a USB controlled RGB header like the one from razer, or plugging these directly into your motherboard if you have enough headers (If not a splitter should be sufficient but then I would worry more about the motherboards RGB header getting burnt out). Another thing to note is the Rubber pads on the fans to be useful need the case fan screws tightened well so make sure to take care while doing that. If your willing to put up with what I described above these really are the best RGB fans for the price providing hands down the best cooling performance I've seen from the cheap Chinese ARGB fan category out there, but keep expectations tempered as these arn't the 40-50$ a fan corsair RGB fans that get sold often.TLDR: Good fans for the price with some major limitations that keep them from being the perfect fans, keep expectations tempered, be ready to work with em, don't use the included controller for RGB, and DONT USE THESE FOR CPU AIR COOLERS PERIOD.
