Moonlight 120mm RGB PWM Case Fan with RGB PWM Fan Hub,5V Motherboard Sync,ARGB Computer Fan,Multiple Light Modes-5 Pack

Okay, I am an experienced PC technician, but I have not had a lot of experience with RGB stuff in the modern PCs. This is the THIRD set of RGB fans I bought for this new build.First ones were falsely advertised as being Aura Sync compatible (my system board is ASUS), they were only partially compatible. They turned ON, they lit up and sometimes would change colors. sent those back as not being as advertised.Second ones were worse than the first set. (Different brand this time.) This set also came with one of the hub/controllers, and was semi-functional with all 9 fans running on one controller box (it had 9 ports). Static colors would work, but not the shifting color patterns. So, I pulled 6 of them off the one box, thinking it was a voltage thing, and put just 3 on each of the boxes. One box flickered for about 10 minutes and then quit entirely. Third box worked okay. BUT, while I was fiddling, trying to get the second one that flickered to work, I smelled an odd smell. Total of about 5 minutes had passed since hookup. Within ONE minute of having smelled something odd, SMOKE was coming from one of the wires on the third box, and the wires were melting. Obviously a quality control issue, wires were crossed and shorting somewhere. Happily, my PC was unaffected.So those all went back as defective.Third set, costs more, and looked like better fans. Maybe. That was this set I am reviewing.1) Very easy setup. Directions were actually understandable and without dumb grammar mistakes (most likely due to bad translation from whatever original language.)2) EVERY single feature as advertised and works flawlessly.3) AURA SYNC not only works as it should, it works flawlessly.I am finally happy with the purchase.Update: A year later and still going perfectly. NO issues with the "fan" performance, nor has there been anything wrong with the "RGB" features. Very happy.

I picked up a couple more sets of these for my new TT P8 case. First, the hub is much more improved despite using plastic now (vs aluminum). It's no downgrade mind you. You get a much more snug fit on the ARGB plugs and they go in right away. This is still a bit of a pain in the old hubs.The only concern I've ran into these last two additional purchases were the availability. First, let's get the obvious one out of the way. Secondly, these things to go out of stock quickly. So you if need a bunch, make sure to keep checking. I've posted pics of my finished builds and have no problem recommending these. I'm even tempted to replace the stock Enermax rgb fans on my cooler for two of these.On a side note, I've lost two of these, though this was due to debris getting into the hubs. I don't blame the fans, but these DO NOT pop out like many other name brand fans if you're looking to service them. Be warn, before you break one. I don't have a problem buying an extra set to have on hand if case of failure (which a filter and using a pedestal/stand helps avoid this).These fans are PWM, are best controlled via software. Check your motherboard manufacturer for a fan control.Last bit of advise, AMD Ryzen six cores tend to ramp up a single core drastically, causing the fans (and cpu fan) to run faster. It's a common thing among owners, so I would recommend a custom fan curve to keep your fans in check with AMD Ryzen six cores.

So I figured that I would leave a review for these fans as when I was considering purchasing them, there were many mixed reviews on Amazon about these fans. I ended up pulling the trigger on them anyway, and I'm glad I did. Here are the biggest pros and cons to these fans, but I should preface that these fans are awesome, and I highly recommend them.My recommendation is based on my personal experience, and as I recently purchased and installed them, I can't speak to their longevity.Pros:- Very cheap- Colorful RGB (and plenty of options for colors/modes)- Works with MSI Mystic Light- Model I bought is PWM, so unless my computer is under load, they are silent- Keeps my computer very cool. I used the entire 5 pack, and it looks amazing and performs very wellCons:I only have two main cons for these fans, and they are both a result of the low price, but as they say: you pay for what you get.- Screws are a headache to get in. The screw holes aren't threaded, so it requires a good deal of force, and many of the screw heads were damages. I still managed for it to come out well- 3-prong port on the fan hub can be a bit finicky, but once installed properly, they haven't given me much troubleOverall, I would highly recommend these fans if you are looking for a great value while increasing your build's aesthetic without compromising much. I hope this helps!
