QUALITY ARCTIC IS NOWHERE ELSE!!!
Looking for ARGB fans that do not sacrifice quality for RGB and vice versa and do not have a crazy price for 3 pieces, I found these MONSTERS here. I have had them for about 1 year and they are PERFECT.
The POSITIVES/NEGATIVES are a little below for you to see.
POSITIVES:
1. Quality. Really ARCTIC has top fans that match or even surpass big brands at half the price and these are not an exception. They have a very sturdy construction and vibration pads to prevent shaking. From youtube reviews and personal (non-professional) measurements, I have to say that they move A LOT of air and lower the system temperature.
2. Silent. Although they can exceed 2000rpm, they are almost silent. Playing relatively light games such as counter strike 2, minecraft etc. on high settings, they were almost inaudible. The only case where their noise can be noticeable is when the system is really stressed and the cpu goes to 100%. (Because my system has air coolers for both the graphics card and the cpu, sometimes I confuse the noise of the graphics card with the fans, so what I said about the noise may not be 100% accurate, but in official measurements on youtube they seem very silent)
3. ARGB. A feast!!! Although I don't mess around too much with adjusting the lights and synchronizing them with, for example, the color on the screen, I am very satisfied. They have a bunch of functions. Also, there is a remote control so you don't need software for simple lighting adjustments. The only fans I have seen with a remote control and it is very convenient.
4. Fan hub. The fans come with a Fan hub to connect them so they don't "eat up" all the motherboard fan ports. The fan hub takes a SATA POWER cable (which comes with most power supplies), the fans are connected to it with their own cables, and I think the fan hub connects to an RGB PWM port on the motherboard (CAUTION I don't remember exactly the wiring because it's been a while since I messed with them as it wasn't necessary since they work perfectly. Everything is explained in the instructions)
5. Good instructions. Again, ARCTIC QUALITY. When you open them, don't be scared if you don't find paper because ARCTIC has the instructions on their website where you can download them. (Just scan the QR code on the box or search for their model and instructions like "arctic p12 argb 3 pack manual" on the internet and you will find them.)
6. Extra screws. In case you want to install them on a liquid cooler, this is done simply with the special long screws because the fans are thicker than the standard thickness. (CAUTION!!! BEFORE INSTALLING THEM ON A LIQUID COOLER, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE THICKNESS OF THE FANS AND THE THICKNESS OF THE LIQUID COOLER)
NEGATIVES
(WHAT NEGATIVES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARCTIC)
However, joking aside, there are some things that bothered me a little, not so much though as to not give them 5 stars.
1. Thickness. The fans are thicker than standard and for this reason they may not fit in all cases. Personally, in the NZXT H510 Flow, they fit without any problem. (CAUTION! I RECOMMEND YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE CASE INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY FIT BEFORE BUYING THEM.)
2. The remote control needs a specific angle. It doesn't work perfectly. You have to find the right angle for it to work, but once you find it, there is no issue. (CAUTION! The remote control has a plastic tab that disconnects the batteries, so you have to remove it by pulling the "tag" in order to use it.
Overall, these fans are excellent for their price and can even surpass expensive brands in performance and quality. They also have many new features and details that you won't find elsewhere (there are reviews on YouTube that go into more detail). Overall, ARCTIC is a very underrated company with great quality and customer service. I will make edits if I change my opinion in the future. I recommend them to anyone who wants lights and good performance in their system! I hope my review helps you with your purchase :)
