Thank you very much, Mike, Kath & Bob. About a couple weeks ago I changed from Thermaltake PURELed 12 Red (3x) and Versa N25 stock rear fan to ARCTIC P12 PST PWM fans. Named 'em "The sounds of silence". Bought the value pack (5x) but didn't change the Gammaxx fan (74,3 CFM Gammaxx fan VS 56.3 CFM of P12). BTW: GTX 1060 temps are same. HDD's reduced temps in 4ºC.
What an absolute bloody shame about those fans :-( They looked good when they worked but like you said if they dont work out of the box then its a hard pass. Thanks for taking the time to review them though :-)
Tell me about it, it was such a good looking set, but it is hard to overlook the PWM problem - thanks for sending them Bob, just sorry it didn't work out better.
Heads up!!! this is old but the importance to read manuals and pay attention to cables, he had a wrong install, user error, these fan are excellent for the price, got them when Jay featured them in his channel, once you set them up the right way, they work great! Got mine on Apr 18, 2020 and still working perfectly!
this is my current case fans, i bought 5n1 and additional 1 fan and it is working just fine it blows more air at a cheaper price than my CM fans(used as cpu air cooler), i plugged it in my id cooling hub, i removed the sleeve of the wire btw so that i can seperate the pwm and rgb wires of the fan for proper cable management, before the id cooling hub i used the included pc cooler hub and the low mid and high fan speed are working just fine, maybe you just got a defective one. the only reason i replaced the pccooler hub to id cooling ha-02 is that the pc cooler hub is not compatible with my CM mf120 halo fans, 1/8 portion of the fan LED didnt work
I've been custom daisy chaining my fans and the reason why the splitter only has the first fan ("master fan") with 4 pins connected and the other ("slave fans") are 3 pin only is because 4 pin PWM has [+ pin] [- pin] [sense pin] and [control pin], all off them are connected in parallel but the [sense pin] wich is used to comunicate back the "status" of the fan, that's why 1 pin is enough to tell the motherboard how fast a fan is running (only if the fans are the same since control pin will send the same data to all the slave fans so they all move at the same speed) and also if you connect all sense pins together you'll have errors having 4 fans yelling different readings to the motherboard since it can only read 1 fan anyway
Mine are still running fine over 3 years now. If there is some problems then you can send it back and get the new replacement. Even expensive brands have some faults too. if the hub is the only problem then you can hook it up with some aftermarket hubs just like what I've done.
yes i agree, but the point is the hub is something that you are paying for as part of the kit, why have to possibly buy another? it is a waste of money and resources
@@mikesunboxing As what I've said you can return it for replacement. Even respective brands have faulty unit sometimes 2-3x the price of this fans. But labeling as "don't buy this" without taking some necessary actions first is just ridiculous.
So, I just bought the identical fan pack, it's the PCCooler halo frgb 3in1 pack. It does have the same problem which the power splitter that have 4 pin is only connected to one connector only and the other 2 connector only connected with 3 pin. At first I thought this is just a defect but when I checked again on the manual instructions it does telling you that it should be like that. There's a small diagram picture of the each connector pin, and only 1 of 3 connector shows with 4 pin. It's really a bummer for me knowing this problem when I've already bought it. Maybe I'll find another power splitter or I'll just connect it to fan chassis pin connector since it only have 1 PWM fan that actually works.
Use the stand alone PCCooler hub which runs around $18. Have had to build a few systems for customers who bought this brand , the included hubs usually work no problems. However when adding in more the larger stand alone hub gives zero faults, at least from what I've built.
Hi, could spare me a moment? If I bought these fans, let's say 3 different ones could I hook them up on my in built PC case hub and make them work like ARGB setups? Like the one on the fractal torrent case and control them via app?
Hi Mike I really enjoy your reviews got a quick question so I have a optiplex am doing a case swap now the front panel connectors are custom and not normal Iv ordered a cit flash now would I still be able to controll the rgb since you only connected the PSU and was controlling jt Thanks
i have the same fans in my case, but already had a hub, had to buy a splitter for the rgb (the 4 pin design was too big to fit in my hub )and hoped i put it in the correct way for the wiring , i would say good fans but bad hub
Hey so i bought the 5 pack and 3 pack. I installed the 5 pack fans and now trying to install my 3pack. I bought a 3 to 1 spliter for the hub but how would I power on the rgb on the extra 3? Could i use both 4 pin12v and 3 pin 5v slot on the hub?
Lol, just below the title, and I’m in Australia, TH-cam has a “Get the latest COVID 19 updates here” and a check the validity of the COVID information in this video…. Lol Mike, your heading tripped a COVID alert 🚨 for us here in Australia 🤦🤦♀️🤯😝😜😅👍
Not sure why all yours are not running pwm, I've had these quite a long time and running 6 in total, 2 are on my AIO. I use my motherboard to control my speeds. Also if you use the motherboard ARGB or PWM you need to lock the controller after setup or it will revert back to the controller.
yes the fans and ARGB all work perfectly as standalone connections, but then we still need a hub of some kind which makes the other sets like the vetroo or uphere much better options and cheaper in some instances
Great review, i was hoping you could do one on the EZDIY-Fab Moonlight White Fans, as they look really good for a cheap price but I don't know about the quality
I got 120mm red rings pwm 4 pin one from this brand, 6 of them actually & they have been great for the last 6 months at least :) For the price, I would recommand (check the individual product review to be sure)
Well I have been running these fans for about 2 year's now and have never had this type of problem, and I never use the hub anyway, since my MB has 6 PWM headers
Nice video, I'm considering getting GIM KB-24 RGB 5 pack to replace my noisy molex fans . Is the sync compatible with the msi b450 gaming plus max. And the sync is for the pwm or the argb since my mb has only 4 pin jrgb headers? or it's optional?
I bought two of these fans for top exhaust to my case. Unfortunately the addressible RGB does not work at all on my Asrock Steel Legend motherboard. The bill quality is very good and they do push good air but it looks like they require a controller. So from what I can tell they are not ARGB compatible.
Very strange, definitely some control going to the faster and slower ones, so is it losing some PWM or is it losing supply power along the cable, well, between 1st and 2nd
Just something I did, you can use a small pair of side cutters and cut one of the pins off so you can add stock ARGB connection to the hub. I've uploaded a few videos of my fans, 6 in total on an Aero One case, 2 of which are on my AIO.
@@borjbadua4784 No, all mine ramp up evenly. My guess is making sure one of the fans is connected to the 4 pin on the daisy and the rest to follow. Seen a number of daisy lines now and all of them only have 4 pins to one of the fans and the rest follow suit.
Got mine for 6 dollars, 3 in 1 kit. I actually ordered 1 fan only. but the seller made a mistake in packing. I am so confused because their post mention 5v 3pin. But all the 3 fans are 12v 4pin.
@@mikesunboxing also in your video, the rgb seems to be working fine, is it a good idea to just use the pccooler hub for rgb and just use another hub just for the pwm? I recently bought the same 5 in 1 kit and even though the rgb works fine... The fans wont spin at all when connected to the included hub. Would like to hear your thoughts thanks

Hello, I don't know how I got to this video, but I have exactly this same set of fans, I have been with them for more than a year and I haven't had any problems, I think yours have a bad controller, the only thing I can say about them is that when I want to use them with PWM or ARGB, I have to change it to the control they bring, the controller has a default mode and a manual one, the manual is where you can configure them as you like through the pc, according to what I understand.
The fan splitter cable is only 3 wires for the rest of 4 fans is because it doesn't need sense/tach return which it already connected to the first fan 3rd pin on the connector. The 4th wires is for the PWM which is connected to the rest of 4 fan connector. I think he either got a bad set or didn't connect the PWM wire to the MB and or bad splitter cable. So to explain this much clearer for viewers. Connector pin 1,2,3,4 coming out of the controller to the 1st fan connector all 4 wires than the rest daisy chain only 3 wires in this order 1,2,4 they skip 3. Wiring diagram 1,2 - 12vdc / Ground 3 - Sense or tach 4 - PWM The reason they skip 3rd wire for the rest of 4 fans is that if the 1st fan for example running 1500RPM the rest will be the same since it daisy chain. The 4th wires is required to control fan speed so it on all 5 connectors.
yeah 3rd pin there is just to sense the speed of fan , 4th pin is the control of the speed from mobo or from remote/hub, 3rd pin is just the feedback to mobo to give info that this the speed of the fan, mobo only need 1 wire with 4pins for speed checking and the rest are 3pins coz they all have the same pwm value since it’s daisy chain, i was using the hub of these 5 n 1 fans before and it is working just fine there is a 4pin(for 12v) and 3pin(5v) slot in the hub that you can to connect to mb for control, or you can also left them hanging(no connection) and use the remote low mid high button, maybe you got a defective hub mate
i'm having an issue with the rgb not turning on. all the fans are spinning at the same speed but for some reason i can't get them to light up. does anyone have any suggestions?

Same here got these they had good reviews. Set was good had to cut sleeving for my setup. Ordered another set to replace fans on another PC the thermaltake controller was junk.
Hey so i bought a 5 pack and a 3 pack, i bought a spliter for the extra 3 but how do i power the rgb for the extra 3? Do i use both rgb 12v and 5v on the hub?
depends what you want and what connections you have on the board, but the uphere fans are good, bought a few sets of those and the corsair sp120 3 pack is also a good choice

Just say the English translation - Crown..... And eyes, I noticed straight away something wasn't right..... And at that price. BeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeP!
What a rat's nest. This is why I only buy 12v RGB fans. I throw the controllers away and wire the fans in groups of 3 in paralle with a single standard connector that plugs into the motherboard. Since I only like a static color, usually blue, I only wire up the 12v and blue leads.
I have the same fan and they have been in my system for more than 2 years now and I do not have that issue with the hub. Probably a defective hub in your case. I really like them and its sad that yours had some issues.
Ive used pccooler fans before in my old system but those were static one color. But i must say this kit is just all kinds of confusion. Would really not recommend to anyone especially new comers to the diy hobby.
Well that was an anti climax. What a let down. Thought they looked the business. Someone in the product engineering team of PCCooler needs a good talking to :D lol
Tell me about it, a lot of time and effort and then hours testing and trying to work out the problem. I was not the usual cheerful mike that day I can tell you
Thx for that video I´m searching for 2 fans with much better airflow as the Arctic F12 Silent at 800rpm with 62.9 m³/h. But these are runnung at 1800rpm and with 800rpm they are only have a flow of 41,16 m³/h and at 900rpm only 46,30 m³/h. And for nearly 40€ thats only throw away money and junk. For me its allways so damn hypocritical when nearly all say wow have these fans a damn airflow (like damn Noctua), but these idiots forget allways yes at max rpm. But no one on earth can tell me sitting at a pc with full speed fans.

Nice rgb effects Mike but sadly let down by poor hub quality. Surely the design would be tested before releasing to market! Thanks for review Mike👍
Totally agree, seems a lot of these mass produced hubs are not tested in depth at all, shame really
Well I have been running these fans for about 2 year's now and have never had this type of problem, and I never use the hub anyway, since my MB has 6 PWM headers
I'd get a separate PWM hub for the issue, if they just gave a daisy chain cable for the PWM, I wouldn't trust that.
yes a separate wired hub would be a massive improvement

Can I just use another hub? I really like the more minimalist approach here for the RGB
with a bit of wiring you could do
Besides the broken hub, would you say these fans are worth the price right now as they’re 40% off right now
at 40% off that is a bargain
The fan splitter cable is only 3 wires for the rest of 4 fans is because it doesn't need sense/tach return which it already connected to the first fan 3rd pin on the connector. The 4th wires is for the PWM which is connected to the rest of 4 fan connector. I think he either got a bad set or didn't connect the PWM wire to the MB and or bad splitter cable.
So to explain this much clearer for viewers.
Connector pin 1,2,3,4 coming out of the controller to the 1st fan connector all 4 wires than the rest daisy chain only 3 wires in this order 1,2,4 they skip 3.
Wiring diagram
1,2 - 12vdc / Ground
3 - Sense or tach
4 - PWM
The reason they skip 3rd wire for the rest of 4 fans is that if the 1st fan for example running 1500RPM the rest will be the same since it daisy chain. The 4th wires is required to control fan speed so it on all 5 connectors.
think the cable was bad to be honest or maybe the controller, not a good design overall compared with others we have looked at
yeah 3rd pin there is just to sense the speed of fan , 4th pin is the control of the speed from mobo or from remote/hub, 3rd pin is just the feedback to mobo to give info that this the speed of the fan, mobo only need 1 wire with 4pins for speed checking and the rest are 3pins coz they all have the same pwm value since it’s daisy chain,
i was using the hub of these 5 n 1 fans before and it is working just fine
there is a 4pin(for 12v) and 3pin(5v) slot in the hub that you can to connect to mb for control, or you can also left them hanging(no connection) and use the remote low mid high button, maybe you got a defective hub mate
i'm having an issue with the rgb not turning on. all the fans are spinning at the same speed but for some reason i can't get them to light up. does anyone have any suggestions?

depends what you want and what connections you have on the board, but the uphere fans are good, bought a few sets of those and the corsair sp120 3 pack is also a good choice
@@mikesunboxing i want a fan that suits on hot ambiance, because my room is so hot specially in the afternoon can you suggest any fan?

Just say the English translation - Crown..... And eyes, I noticed straight away something wasn't right..... And at that price. BeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeP!
yeah not a good set there, the fans are decent but let down by the control hardware
What a rat's nest. This is why I only buy 12v RGB fans. I throw the controllers away and wire the fans in groups of 3 in paralle with a single standard connector that plugs into the motherboard. Since I only like a static color, usually blue, I only wire up the 12v and blue leads.
agreed the cabling on this is poorly thought out and overly complex for what it needs to be
I have the same fan and they have been in my system for more than 2 years now and I do not have that issue with the hub. Probably a defective hub in your case. I really like them and its sad that yours had some issues.
yes i agree, shame
Ive used pccooler fans before in my old system but those were static one color. But i must say this kit is just all kinds of confusion. Would really not recommend to anyone especially new comers to the diy hobby.
yes they are just way to complicated for mortals
Well that was an anti climax. What a let down. Thought they looked the business. Someone in the product engineering team of PCCooler needs a good talking to :D lol
Tell me about it, a lot of time and effort and then hours testing and trying to work out the problem. I was not the usual cheerful mike that day I can tell you
Thx for that video I´m searching for 2 fans with much better airflow as the Arctic F12 Silent at 800rpm with 62.9 m³/h. But these are runnung at 1800rpm and with 800rpm they are only have a flow of 41,16 m³/h and at 900rpm only 46,30 m³/h. And for nearly 40€ thats only throw away money and junk.
For me its allways so damn hypocritical when nearly all say wow have these fans a damn airflow (like damn Noctua), but these idiots forget allways yes at max rpm. But no one on earth can tell me sitting at a pc with full speed fans.
have you seen the new arctic ARGB fans they might be what you are looking for
Loool u got flaged by Yt for corona... Xd
yeah and we are trusting these guys to create the AI that runs (or ruins) the World
@@mikesunboxing well Yt AI or whatever is.It is sucks so hard.They dont even check,ther AI trigering on some words and thats the all thing.
