ThermaltakeSWAFAN EX 12 ARGB PC Cooling Fan, 3-Fan pcak, 500~2000 RPM, Magnetic Connection, Reversable Blades, sync with MB RGB Software, CL-F167-PL12SW-A, 120mm, Black

The media could not be loaded. TL;DR: Quiet, ARGB, cable-free daisy-chaining, magnetic, swappable reverse-flow blades. What more could you want?Usually I'll go for Noctua fans when I want silence and performance, but for this build I also wanted something that would look great and light up nicely inside a case with glass panels. After lots of searching I discovered these... and they are everything that I hoped they would be! Six of these Thermaltake SWAFANs (ARGB variant) provide silent air intake through the mesh-filtered side and bottom of my case and allow individual LED control for full case effects with open-source OpenRGB software.Construction: The fan base, blades, wires, connections, and packaging all feel premium. Comes with extra grease, should you need it down the road. The LEDs are nice and bright and the fan blades do a decent job of diffusing the light.Reverse-flow blades: These fans come with reverse-flow blades that can be easily swapped in, so the fan can be mounted with preferred air-flow orientation without being obscured by fan structure.Magnetic: Fan edges have magnets that help join the fans together for install. The cable that you connect to the fan also attaches magnetically.Cordless daisy-chaining: Fans have daisy-chain pin/pad connections, so each set of 3 fans side-by-side only need a single cable that Y splits for 4-pin PWM/Power and ARGB. Plenty of reach on each end of the Y cable to reach your motherboard's fan header and an ARGB controller and less wire mess in your case.Silent (typically): At idle and typical workloads, the fans run silently at lower RPM. During heavier workloads or gaming, my system profile has the fans raise in RPM to a barely audible level. Only when really pushing the system do the fans increase to noticeably audible levels when moving lots of air.ARGB Control: The LEDs on these fans are controllable via ARGB, which means you can use your motherboard's ARGB control or a 3rd party ARGB controller to control each LED individually on the fans, even when daisy chained, without having to use extra vendor-specific controllers or software! I control these ARGB fans and other case LEDs with the "Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller." I use OpenRGB to drive this controller, along with my DIMMs and graphics card. OpenRGB allows me to map all of these LEDs to their physical space to run interesting full-chassis effects. See video for demo.Cost: IMO, these fans are very affordable compared to alternative solutions when shopping. Especially considering that they are ARGB compatible, you can use a single controller for multiple ARGB peripherals. I could not find an alternative that checked all of these boxes.Tip: Avoid over-tightening fan mounting screws, or they may not power-on correctly.Thank you Thermaltake for making an excellent fan with reversible blades and ARGB connectivity!

The media could not be loaded. I love how easy the software is to use and how little resources it takes on my pc, aesthetically I just love the way it looks. Definitely will purchase more as well as thermaltake cases. They come a long way as far as quality and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Easily swappable fan blades. Not as quiet as bequiet or noctua but plenty quiet for most people. RGB looks great too.

Yes. With a title like that, I gave it 4 stars. Great fans, for the price. RGB looks great. Swappable fan blades are the best feature. The magnetic connection feature is a nice touch too, but there lies the problem. If the pogo pins aren't perfectly aligned, it ruins the whole lot. If one is misaligned (out of 9), it's like trying to find the burnt out light on an old strand of Christmas lights. It took me hours to get them lined up to where all the lights were working and fans were spinning. I did some cable management and hooked my peripherals up and now I have 6 fans that light and spin while the other three just spin.

Thermaltake has been around for years and I can see that their quality is why they are still around. The feature of having magnetic connectors for less wires helps the build process. The fans come with reverse blades are just a super feature of value and makes it very functional.

Awful. The magnetic connection is impossible to keep in place. Put all the fans in and not a single one worked. Took 4 times taking them out and putting them back in again to get them to work and even then one fan spun at max until I tinkered it again. It's almost like they designed to make it not fun, cue manical laughter. I may never buy a Thermaltake product ever again based on this.

Love the reversible blades and that extras are part of the package. Easy to hook up once I attached the power to the correct spot. Less wires than Corsair which is what I had before though not as vibrant.

Magnetic connection between fans is great, and reduces cable spaghetti monsters in your case, but the motherboard cable is a little finicky
