12 months ago I would have said that RGB is a silly gimmick for posers and I care how my PC runs, not how it looks. Then three parts of my latest upgrade have RGB. Okay, I get it now. I love it.
@2GuysTek, I love the corsair LL120s. I also thought RGB's were nothing but a fad but got them myself and slapped them on a cooler master H500 and holy crap looking at them up close in person is mesmerizing. I could stare at them all day and the Corsair Link software has so many colorful presets. I love it!
@@NoWorriezz Well when most of the products are coming with it you just end up accepting it. You can turn the leds off if you want, you can create a single solid color to fit a theme at any time. It just allows for more customization. I always thought it was a cool idea, then again I was always into modding my pc since the late 90s. PCs are in the transformation stage of just being a tool to being a center point and even art piece of an office/gaming area. We are just starting to really see true customization start to take place and companies realizing how much people are willing to spend to customize something to the way they want it to look.
@@mybathwater rgb is just great, if you don't like a Christmas Tree you can set them in a specific color or even turn everything off, so I don't understand what there's not to like about it.
Now I use ARGB fans, these are too backward, I think this one is very good, I found many models, the point is that it supports motherboard synchronization, which is so cool www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001686049537.html?spm=5261.ProductManageOnline.0.0.59014edf3fLarW
Saw your testing parameters and color me impressed, an *actual* test setup that highlights the pros and cons for each fan in a streamlined yet decently technical manner? Subbed to this channel, great work gentlemen and I expect future great videos from you.
Was just looking to replace some old worn out non-rgb fans in my case. Your video was exactly what I needed! Subbed and looking forward to more videos!
1:40 "...these fans have a six-blade-design" aha, so the 7th blade must be the spare blade, i guess? good to have one, for those blades wear off so quickly!
came directly to comments looking for this comment on the 7th hidden blade. LOL someone actually editted the video and didn't even check what he was doing
Hey guys, thank's for the tests! I think the methodology of measuring airflow is quite usefull and it's good to see you test a real world scenario with the radiator. I just wish for an additional data point, where you normalise all fans for either same airflow or same noise by reducing speed. I never run fans at full speed and I need to know, which fan is the quietest at a certain amount of cooling required! Also it would be nice to describe the noise quality (or just record the sound). I was very confused, that you praised the Corsair fans for quietness, after measuring them the loudest (yet not the most powerfull). That might be because they just sounded more pleasant? And by the way: The box said "Aigo", not "Agio"
PCooler fans are really good and even though I love my Corsair fans they are really loud if ran at medium to full speed...my PCooler fans are completely quiet even at full speed...
Hi guys, you have a serious calculation issue for the CFM. it should be AF = S * Pi * D^2 / 4, where S is the speed in m/s and D the diameter of the anemometer in meter. you'll get the airflow in m3/s. To get it in CFM, do CFM = AF * 60 /(0.0254*12)^3. All your numbers should be roughly 5 times lower. :)
@@Hellamoody absolutely. Connect the fan controller to a molex connector and simply use a wireless remote to change colors, speeds, modes etc etc. Super easy.
Exactly what I was looking for, New subscriber earned :D Quality of a 1mil channel. I would work on the Background Music though, but thats obviously subjective
try to include at what RPM these fans are being tested at since if they were all tested in max rpm, well, I personally don't need 2000rpm spinning fan all the time. Although this might add more time to your testing, I'd suggest you guys test these fans at a couple of RPMs, say 1000, 1500, 2000, etc. then afterwards sees the noise and airflow from said fan at said RPM. Thank you, hope this helps, and keep up the good video, you folks are awesome
Love this review! Just upgraded my pc from an old I7 950 to a 3700x, lookin' to trip out my computer, appreciate the video and choice of music! Get so tired of the generic youtube music library everyone uses. *subscribed*
uphere has quite a few more fans out now...argb ones at that with 5v 3pin 7fan control, as well as 1500rpm fans to go with it. have a set of the ones i mentioned as well as the C8-123 5pack you tested here. have had the 123 uphere fans for OVER a year now and they still work great. i just want some more air flow for my new sabrey adv case coming in.... had to get creative bc my b450I gaming plus ac mb has only 2 12v 4pin headers so i obtained a converter hub from ezdiy fab that will HOPEFULLY solve my problem. if not hey at least theyll throw more air and ill be able to control them vie button....the difference between my 123 uphere fans tho the blades are lit up not the ring....so idk??? still move good air just not controllable at all are rather quite tho.
@@2GuysTek I've got some experience with RGB fans, currently running Noctuas, might get Phanteks Halos RGB stuff for them sometime, but i like them with yellow rubber things that reduce noise for now, had Balanced RGB Cooler Master ones before this, they move a lot less air and are not quiet. Fans to check out: - Corsair ML120 RGB(much quieter than LL120 because of magnetic bearing) - Scythe Kaze Flex RGB(ARGB coming out soon, they will even have 92mm ARGB ones, that will be hilarious) - InWin Sirius Loop ASL120(InWin is not known for cheap stuff, but 3-pack is $29.99 for ARGB fans, I'd take those over crappy Aigo fans anyday)
For all who didn't know the uphere fans called uphere rgb 123 because they're 120mm fans and they come in a pack of 3, there's also a uphere rgb 125 pack wich includes the same fans but comes with 5 instead of 3 fans
The Corsair QL fans are pretty new on the market and we have yet to test them. We actually just ordered a set to put through testing! We’ll have a review of them soon! Thanks for the comment!
I just install a five pack of the UpHere RGB fans ($34.99 Amazon) yesterday (March 20) in a Phanteks P350x case. They are much quieter than the mix of basic Coolermaster and Arctic F12 ( had them set to run about 700-900 RPMs) that I had and the airflow is much better for the noise level and actually dropped my Ryzen 5 2600 idle temps down from 34C to 30C. The UpHeres look great and there are lots of option with its remote. The downside it that they do not connect to a MB fan or MB RGB hub and they only spin at a constant 1100 RPMs. They have there own proprietary fan and RGB hub that connects to a (ugh) molex. They seem solidly built, but time will tell if they last.
This must be old. I even pulled out the packaging and have it in my hands as I type- Corsair LL120 now has a 2200 RPM maximum @ 36dBa, though I do see that your packaging says otherwise. I do have the White versions. I think I got them in late 2019 though so maybe the specs have changed since then? I do love these fans, other than the proprietary garbage.
Deepcool CF120s are also a great budget RGb fan. For 35 USD you get 3 fans, an RGB controller (not required if you mb has an RGB header), and a fan hub. in my opininion, they have a premium look with a low price.
I’d have to give it to Thermaltake because their fans have that look I personally like where the fans aren’t lit up all the way and also they still look good off if you don’t want to run the rgb.
Cooler Master ones are terrible, had them replaced them with Chromax Noctuas, Deepcool are not bad, just overpriced for that they give, but they do have similar performance to Thermaltake ones, just not as good RGB
Is it going to be a display piece as well? Lots of glass and RGB? You can’t beat Noctua NF-A12x25 or Gentle Typhoon for good quiet fans that don’t have RGB, they are on the expensive side though. If you want color and you don’t mind spending more go with Corsair LL120 fans, or if you want color and value, look to upHere RGB fans.
@@2GuysTek Thanks i was leaning towards performance since ill be doing a lot of rendering but its also going to be my daily driver so ill probably get the corsair LL120
A more in depth review would have been nice like for instance which of these fans have to use a controller box and which fans play well with rgb or rgbw headers on motherboatds
Great question! The issue with CFM is that measurements are based on airflow through a certain diameter apparatus. We measured CFM through a 4” circular opening that ducts into our anemometer. The size of your opening effects your numbers and unfortunately we know nothing of the test setups each company used to measures their product’s CFM. We actually stopped providing CFM rating on subsequent videos because the numbers felt misleading and now only use m/s as wind speed is always wind speed. Thanks for the comment!
@@2GuysTek the CFM to me is moe important a metric because that tells you the volume of air a fan is expected to move per minute at maximum fan speed. Fan speeds won't tell you much at all because the size of the fan "80mmvs120m!vs140mmvs200mm.etc" will have a considerable impact, including the number of fan blades, then the fan design (grooved vs smooth etc). The CFM is a consideration of the final output of the fans regardless of other metrics. If you go by speed you have to do a lot of guessing on just how much air a fan is capable of delivering to the case. A 2000 rpm 120mm noctua will deliver similar or even less air than a 140mm noctua at 1400 rpm of the same model but if you go by fan speeds alone the buyer will be subject to much confusion.
@@vincentpatrick886 We really appreciate hearing what's important to you! We can certainly add CFM calculations back into the videos moving forward. Thanks so much for the reply!
GREAT Video! Debating between Thermaltake and Uphere >_< I want Uphere for the price (buying 3 120mm fans and 3 140mm rans) But Thermaltake seems to perform better. hmm..
@@Nobaris9961 Corsair LL Series LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan Single Pack --24.99 on Amazon for a single fan. For a 3pack+controller, it's currently on sale for $102.99 on amazon.
Are your sure you tested allright Aigo CFM? Cause in your test you say Aigo DarkFlash DR12 has 147,3 CFM / 3 fans = 49,1 CFM/1 fan, but wen i look to the amazon link you posted for Aigo there it say ''and deliver an air flow of up to 20.34CFM ''? so it is 49 CFM like u say or 20,34 CFM like they say?
Hi Dan D - Great question! To calculate CFM, we used a formula that takes the m/s flow of the fan along with the diameter of the duct the air is pushed through, in our case ~89mm. We measured everything in m/s because CFM is subjective to the size of the duct, but we calculated it because many people want the CFM number. So in short, we felt that CFM wasn't an accurate representation of true airflow because it all depends on what's on the other side of the fan. Also, the result of 147CFM is for a single fan based on the m/s airflow. We really have no idea how Aigo measured their fans or where their numbers come from. Thanks for the comment!
I think you guys forgot to count the blades on that "six" blade asia horse fan. Anyways, liked and subbed. I've been looking for something like this for a couple weeks. Odd situation, but I'm actually looking for the best looking rgb fans from the back, and seeing them out of a full rig setup gave me a nice view. My desktop is on my desk to my left facing forward (only space there's room for it)so I can see through the acrylic side panel, and my eye level sits just above the top of the case. The only spot in my case where I would get a decent view of fans are the front ones but I need those for intake.
@@2GuysTek Np. You guys had a better point of view than we did. Which of those in your opinion looks the best from the back? I really like the corsair LL120's, but both of the rgb rings are kind of hard to see from behind. Do any of the light strips stretch the whole width of the fan?
@@robertlefeaux If you're looking for a little bling from the backside the UpHere's have the RGB diffuser in the front and the rear of the fans, so you see everything on both sides. If you have the money though, you can't go wrong with the Thermaltake fans, their RGB ring is in the middle and is visible from ether side of the fan too. Good luck!

@@2GuysTek the CFM to me is moe important a metric because that tells you the volume of air a fan is expected to move per minute at maximum fan speed. Fan speeds won't tell you much at all because the size of the fan "80mmvs120m!vs140mmvs200mm.etc" will have a considerable impact, including the number of fan blades, then the fan design (grooved vs smooth etc). The CFM is a consideration of the final output of the fans regardless of other metrics. If you go by speed you have to do a lot of guessing on just how much air a fan is capable of delivering to the case. A 2000 rpm 120mm noctua will deliver similar or even less air than a 140mm noctua at 1400 rpm of the same model but if you go by fan speeds alone the buyer will be subject to much confusion.
@@vincentpatrick886 We really appreciate hearing what's important to you! We can certainly add CFM calculations back into the videos moving forward. Thanks so much for the reply!
Im getting the lls
GREAT Video! Debating between Thermaltake and Uphere >_< I want Uphere for the price (buying 3 120mm fans and 3 140mm rans) But Thermaltake seems to perform better. hmm..
Thank you! Are you going to do another one of these with 140 fans? Pretty please? 😀
This is a great idea! We'll add it to the list! Thank you for the suggestion!
i got my LL120's at 30 bucks each on amazon, good deal for a great fan
sergio LandZ stop lying that’s impossible 2 LL120s cost $100

Are your sure you tested allright Aigo CFM? Cause in your test you say Aigo DarkFlash DR12 has 147,3 CFM / 3 fans = 49,1 CFM/1 fan, but wen i look to the amazon link you posted for Aigo there it say ''and deliver an air flow of up to 20.34CFM ''?
so it is 49 CFM like u say or 20,34 CFM like they say?
Hi Dan D - Great question! To calculate CFM, we used a formula that takes the m/s flow of the fan along with the diameter of the duct the air is pushed through, in our case ~89mm. We measured everything in m/s because CFM is subjective to the size of the duct, but we calculated it because many people want the CFM number. So in short, we felt that CFM wasn't an accurate representation of true airflow because it all depends on what's on the other side of the fan. Also, the result of 147CFM is for a single fan based on the m/s airflow. We really have no idea how Aigo measured their fans or where their numbers come from. Thanks for the comment!
Running from RGB setup now is like running from John Wick.
You're never gonna get away from it!
I think you guys forgot to count the blades on that "six" blade asia horse fan. Anyways, liked and subbed. I've been looking for something like this for a couple weeks. Odd situation, but I'm actually looking for the best looking rgb fans from the back, and seeing them out of a full rig setup gave me a nice view. My desktop is on my desk to my left facing forward (only space there's room for it)so I can see through the acrylic side panel, and my eye level sits just above the top of the case. The only spot in my case where I would get a decent view of fans are the front ones but I need those for intake.
Oops! I don't know how we missed that! The Asiahorse has **7** blades! Thank you for pointing that out and watching the video!
@@2GuysTek Np. You guys had a better point of view than we did. Which of those in your opinion looks the best from the back? I really like the corsair LL120's, but both of the rgb rings are kind of hard to see from behind. Do any of the light strips stretch the whole width of the fan?
@@robertlefeaux If you're looking for a little bling from the backside the UpHere's have the RGB diffuser in the front and the rear of the fans, so you see everything on both sides. If you have the money though, you can't go wrong with the Thermaltake fans, their RGB ring is in the middle and is visible from ether side of the fan too. Good luck!
would've been nice if u guys included cm master argb fans too
