Attractive fans with one flaw

Phanteks M25-140 Gen2 Reversed Blade Triple Pack, 3x 140mm ARGB High Performance Cooling Fans, Daisy-chain Unified Fan Frame, Infinity Mirror hub, single cable connection, Black

Pros: Solidly connect together Good airflow Easy cable management

Cons: LEDs aren't fully covered by the fan hub

Overall Review: These are great fans, they look good and they perform well. They connect together really solidly and the three pack comes already connected together. They daisy chain with super short cables making them super clean. You then have a couple extension cables if you want to separate them and then one connector cable for the PWM and ARGB to the Motherboard. Unfortunately the fan hub plastic doesn't go all the way down to the PCB where the LEDs are, so if you have your PC placed in a position that has these fans viewed from the side you will see the actual LEDs. It's like several tiny flashlights shining into your eyes. This was a dealbreaker for me, but might not be an issue for you, depending on your case and location.

Comments: I got this card yesterday. It's true that the memory is only at 900. It doesn't really matter to me though as it just replaced an FX5200 and the difference is night and day. All of my benchmark scores went up by at least 5x, some near 10x. It lets me play Half Life 2 with max settings at 1280x1024 no AA. At 1024x768 the frameratee is CPU limited in my system and I get the same frame rate at no AA as 8xAA. The 6600GT is easily the best AGP card for the money. Easy to set up, runs no problems.
