Pros: Extremely bright LED lights
Rubber isolation mounting pads
Fan noise is reasonable
Cons: Controller is all but worthless'
Can't dim LED lights
There really isn't 20 modes
Power is via a Molex rather than more common SATA power connection
Overall Review: The LEDs are extremely bright and for some folks/applications too bright. Unfortunately the controller does work very well. There are no written instructions as to how the controller works leaving one to stumble around trying to figure out how to make it work. Worse, the controller actually doesn't function very well at all. It will not dim the LEDs, the lock function doesn't work, etc. I would get the LEDs into a color patent that I wanted then after a minute or so the LEDs would randomly start to cycling through various modes and colors. I finally (and I'm not even sure how) got it locked into a mode that I liked and have left it that way. The manufacturer claims 20 modes but only if you count solid red, blue or green as a "mode". Similarly, flashing red, green or blue color only counts as a "mode" as well. I purchased 6 of these fans to replace 140mm Coolmaster fans that I installed a year ago into a new build but they were starting to die. From a cooling perspective, these fans are reasonably quite and provide adequate cooling. I have 5 of them installed in a double wide cube style case. The CPU is a slightly overclocked Ryzen 7 2700X with 32Gb of memory and 3 1Gb SSDs. The GPU is an AMD based 560 with 4 Gb or memory. I will be upgrading the GPU shortly. The power supply is a 750 watt Thermaltake that is isolated from the mobo side of the case by a metal plate and has its own cooling fans. Overall, if one can accept the fact the LEDs can't be dimmed, and a remote that is wonky, for the price these fans provide adequate cooling at a reasonable sound level.
