Msi fanlarımdan daha kaliteli ve sessiz geldi. Soğutması gayet başarılı. Review: Quiet ARGB and PWM fans. Great quality. - To begin with, these are the same fans that come with the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE. I was so happy with my purchase of their CPU cooler, I turned to Thermalright to replace the case fans in my Rosewill S500. Installation is very easy. Each fan comes with power and ARGB splitters, so I was able to daisy chain all 6 fans together (bought two 3 packs) without any issues. Also daisy chained the ARGB plug from the PA 120 SE and everything is synced up without issue. I have found absolutely no reason to purchase a fan hub at this time as the built in splitters did the job. I'm using an ROG B550-F GAMING motherboard, so was stuck with a single ARGB header but this was not an issue. Hooked my fans to one of the system fan headers and adjusted my curves using Fan Control found on GitHub and played around with the RPMs. In terms of air flow, these guys DEFINITELY move air. With these fans at full blast along with the PA120SE, I got my 3700x with PBO enabled (+200 offset) running as low as 27°C at idle. With the original Rosewill case fans, the absolute lowest I saw was 31°C. A similar 5°C was seen when running at full load using a 3DMark CPU profile test. Again, this was at full blast. With fan curves adjusted to lower power and speed, the system is near silent. The water pump in my aquarium is louder than my system running under normal loads. Despite the silence, I still have lower temps than when I had the stock case fans. Before purchase, I tried to find as much information I could on these fans and at best I could find a few reviewers comparing them to the Noctua NF-F12. While I have never used Noctuas and cannot speak from experience, I can only reiterate my system is nearly dead silent. Something to keep in mind is the sound will become noticable above 50% speed. If you need to run your fans at 100% for some reason, however, then you don't have to worry about any whining or related sounds. Your PC will sound like it just has a bunch of air running through it, unlike when a GPU (in my case an EVGA 2080 Super BLACK) ramps up and sounds like a fighter jet taking off. At this time, my fans hover between 8% and 30% speed and I can't hear them unless I really, really try. While watching videos or gaming? You'll only realize they're on due to the RGB lighting, and this is coming from a guy with his case 2 feet from his head. I haven't noticed any resonance issues at this time. Even sliding power from 0-100%, I can't say I've noticed any, so I'm very happy with that. So, they are quiet and absolutely circulate air in your system. The bonus here is the fact these are also ARGB. At the time of this review, a three pack of these are a third of the price of a three pack of Arctic P12 ARGB fans. You can get 6 of these fans (two 3 packs) for the price of a single Noctua A12. Again, these are the same fans you'd find on Thermalright's Peerless Assassin 120 SE and that's a rather quiet and very effective CPU cooler. For now, these are an incredible value and the budget/value space appears to be where Thermalright is dominating right now. From my research, Thermalright used to be what Noctua is to PC fans today. Don't sleep on these guys. I would not be surprised if more PC enthusiasts use these products when trying to maximize bang for buck performance. If you need new case fans or are looking to fill in any extra 120mm fan spots in your case, grab these. I don't care if I come off like a shill, but I am incredibly happy with my setup now. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a 5800x3D, and given the temps I'm seeing on my 3700x, I know I can count on these fans to handle that swap and future builds to come. ## 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 1550RPM. 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. - [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. - 【Silent Fan Size】 Model: TL-C12C-S X3, Size: 120*120*25mm, Speed: 1550RPM±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. - 【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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BKKFBR9R | | Air Flow Capacity | 66.17 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,021 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #21 in CPU Fans | | Brand | Thermalright | | Brand Name | Thermalright | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,403 Reviews | | Importer Contact Information | Thermalright | | Included Components | Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12L x 2.5W x 12H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Manufacturer | Thermalright, Thermalright | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Thermalright | | Material Type | Copper | | Max Rotational Speed | 1500 RPM | | Model Number | C12C-S C3 | | Noise Level | 25.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of Packs | 3 | | Packer Contact Information | Thermalright | | Part Number | C12C-S C3 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Product Dimensions | 12L x 2.5W x 12H Centimeters | | UPC | 772467848326 772467848432 772467848487 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 3.6 Watts | ## Product Details - **Product Dimensions:** 12L x 2.5W x 12H Centimeters - **Brand:** Thermalright - **Power Connector Type:** 4-Pin - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 3.6 Watts ## Images ![Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iKaMKqQzL.jpg) ![Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JuOzL3F1L.jpg) ![Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FrlbN6ITL.jpg) ![Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61L9AYxldpL.jpg) ![Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm ARGB Case Cooler Fan, 4pin PWM Silent Computer with S-FDB Bearing Included, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan（3 Quantities） - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lfieC77XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiyat Performans *by M***Z on 22 April 2024* Bozulan Msi sıvı soğutucunun fanları yerine aldım.
