Review: Highly recommend these fans as value for money. - Bought these to expand the cooling in my gaming case, after reading the reviews I thought I would give them a try. I am so impressed with them for the price that I bought a second set and swapped out the original msi DC fans that came with the case. They are almost silent in normal running and under a lot of stress like online heavy gaming they are barely audible from about 30cm away, the system is happily sitting at low temperatures and mostly at just 900 rpm +-20. They daisy chain which is another plus, taking my header requirements down and now use 2 headers for the six case fans which is safe especially as they rate at only 0.23 amp per fan and headers normally supply 1 amp so 4 of these fans on each I would trust happily. The ARGB looks great and luckily the rotation matches same direction as my cpu cooler fan so the aesthetics are great. Again, the ARGB are also daisy chain if you require it, making it easy to light as many fans as you like from a single source so long as it supplies the required amps, again usually 1 amp so no problem, i have 7 in total running from a hub so can not comment on them with aura as I use external and not mobo header for them, but I would expect them to be exactly the same. Bright, well made, work as intended, plenty of length on the leads for 90% of cases, tidy fine cabling making cable tidy easy to achieve. Highly recommend these, at the price under a tenner they are a no brainer. Just be sure that if you are switching out 3 pin fans (dc fan) that you alter bios to pwm in fan control (auto often fails and dc will not run them to the best ability) easy to do, if you are not sure check youtube, it is fairly easy and quick to do.
Review: Great value, temperatures and low noise - I bought two packs of these to replace the fans in my case, and they’ve honestly been a really good upgrade. Installation was straightforward and everything worked straight away with the PWM control. No issues getting them recognised and set up, which is always a plus. The biggest difference has been temperatures and noise. With all five fans installed in my case, airflow is much better and my temps have noticeably improved under load. At the same time, they’re a lot quieter than the fans I was using before. Even when they ramp up, the noise is much more controlled and less harsh. Build quality feels solid for the price. They’re not trying to be flashy, but they do exactly what you want from a case fan and seem well made enough to last. Overall, they’re great value. Getting multiple fans at this price and seeing both better cooling and lower noise makes them an easy recommendation if you’re looking to upgrade your setup.

## Features

- 【High Performance Cooling Fan】 Automatic speed control of the motherboard through the 4PIN PWM fan cable interface, which can determine the speed according to the temperature of the motherboard, with a maximum speed of 1500RPM. Configured with up to 55cm of cable for PWM series control of fans, ideal for cases and CPU coolers.
- 【Quality Bearings】The carefully developed quality S-FDB bearings solve the problem of pc cooling fan blade shaking in lifting mode, keeping fan noise to a minimum while providing maximum cooling performance when needed and extending the life of the fan. Power supply interface: 4-pin PWM Lighting interface: 5V 3-pin ARGB
- 【Silent Fan Size】 Model: TL-C12C-S X3, Size: 120*120*25mm, Speed: 1500RPM±10%, Noise ≤ 25.6dBA Connector: 4pin pwm, Current: 0.20A, Air Pressure: 1.53mm H2O, Air Flow: 66.17CFM, Higher air flow for improved cooling performance.
- [Excellent LED Light] The high-brightness LED atomizing argb fan blade can effectively reflect the light, making the ARGB lighting effect softer, and it matches the cooler and case more perfectly. Up to 17 modes of light effects with ARGB support, color can be managed and synchronized through the port on motherboard.
- 【Perfect Match】The PC fan can be used not only as a case fan, but is also suitable for use with a cpu cooler to create a cooling effect together, which can take away the dry heat from the case and the high temperature generated by the CPU in operation, allowing for maximum cooling; Ideal for cases, radiators and CPU coolers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does these fans have molex connectors too power then**
A: No they have a standard four pin motherboard connector and a 3 pin Argb

**Q: Which way is the airflow direction?
Mine have no markings on the fans, the image shows the white logo as the intake but theres a white logo on both**
A: The airflow on fans always runs from the open side through to the side that's got the motor and wire attached to it, unless stated otherwise.

**Q: how do you get the lights to turn on?**
A: The lights come on when the fan's light connector is connected to the 3PIN ARGB connector on the motherboard and the motherboard is powered on.

**Q: These are clearly labled argb so addressabe so have they got a 3 pin 5v rgb cable as well as the pwm fan power cable?if not then they are not argb**
A: Yes they also have the 3 pin 5v rgb connector (using 6 of them in my case)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact and Efficient Cooling with Dependable Performance
*by A***M on 8 December 2025*

The Thermalright TL-C12C-S X5 offers solid cooling performance in a compact 120 mm form factor. I used it in a smaller build, and it managed to keep temperatures reasonable under moderate workloads — perfect for systems without space for larger coolers. Installation was easy and the fan mounted securely with no fuss. The airflow was consistent and the noise levels stayed low even when pushed. It’s a simple solution that offers good airflow without unnecessary complexity. If you want a no-frills, dependable CPU air fan for a small or budget build, the TL-C12C-S X5 gets the job done — efficient, quiet, and straightforward.
