SWAFAN 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

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!

Pretty solid fans. They cool really well and work very well with my AIO as well. The back fan that I have in the photo is also a Thermaltake fan as well, but a different model. Thermaltake fans seem to always have really bright, vibrant colored LEDs and look amazing in my case. I'm definitely satisfied and plan to buy matching fans for my mini rig as well! The magnetic connection can be a bit finicky to connect, but it DOES work once it connects. You just may have to disconnect and reconnect the connector a time or two. But it works amazingly once it connects. :)

The Thermaltake SFA Fan EX 12 ARGB Sync is a powerful and stylish cooling solution for any PC enthusiast. With its vibrant addressable RGB lighting and synchronized effects, it adds flair to any build. Despite its compact size, it delivers impressive airflow, keeping components cool under heavy loads. Installation is effortless, thanks to its user-friendly design. With customizable lighting and quiet operation, the SFA Fan EX 12 ARGB Sync is a perfect choice for gamers and enthusiasts looking to elevate their PC's performance and aesthetics.

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.

Great concept, garbage delivery. When they work they look great and are quiet. If you do not tinker and just build a PC and use it then these may work for you. By saying "may" is because they may never actually work. Just swapping these fans from one case to another was enough to make them useless. No lights, no spin, no nothing. Hooked directly to motherboard fan headers and also through a sata powered fan hub. Jiggling the fans, resetting the power lead, nothing. I bought a lot of these fans and now all are in the trash.

Perfect for my gaming battlestation! Plus they light up and just add to the atmosphere for the whole gaming system

The magnets can be tricky to get just right, but once they're on, they stay on. Comes with two sets of blades: one for intake and one for exhaust. That way you dont have to show the back of your fans inside your case.

Muito bom

these are my new favourite fans the argbs are bright and function like they should, the air flow with these fans is perfect they are silent enough that you wont notice them, unless you have them full blast but even then they arent that loud at all. the reversable blades is a nice touch and the included fan oil is handy as well if you need it. you also get long rad screws as well as small ones for all three of the fans. plus 3 separate cables if you dont have them synced together

Reversible. Easy to control ARGB. Works well. Silent. Faint hum at certain speeds though, can only decide if you can live with it after installing. Looks beautiful.

Queste ventole Thermaltake sono davvero straordinarie! È la prima volta che mi affido a questo marchio e devo dire che le mie aspettative sono state ampiamente superate. Le ho ordinate per un Case Thermaltake con pannelli in vetro, così da poter ammirare il loro splendido design. Ho scelto questo modello perché le pale sono reversibili, e una volta arrivato, ho trovato le altre pale da cambiare incluse nella confezione. Sostituirle è stato semplicissimo, e c’era anche l’olio dentro una piccola siringa per ingrassarle, un dettaglio molto utile. Esteticamente, sono eccezionali: essendo reversibili, non è necessario girare la ventola verso l’esterno per immettere l’aria, e possono essere ammirate in tutto il loro splendore. Le ho montate sulla mia scheda madre ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming WiFi e ho utilizzato il programma ASUS Armoury Crate per gestirle e cambiare la colorazione. Ci sono molte soluzioni di colori e diverse modalità di illuminazione, come il lampeggio a giro. L’app mi consente anche di modificare a piacimento la velocità delle ventole e farle aumentare automaticamente in base alla temperatura interna del computer. L’unica difficoltà che ho riscontrato è stata con le istruzioni per il montaggio della terza ventola, poiché l’ho posizionata separata dalle altre. Questo ha reso la connessione un po’ più complicata, ma per il resto, se si vogliono montare tutte e tre in fila, il collegamento è facile grazie ai magneti che le attaccano facilmente. In conclusione, queste ventole sono davvero spaziali: silenziose, strutturate ottimamente e realizzate con materiali di alta qualità. Consiglio vivamente le Thermaltake SWAFAN EX 12 ARGB a chiunque voglia migliorare il proprio sistema di raffreddamento e dare un tocco di stile al proprio Case!

Très silencieux, très qualitatif, mais les jonctions aimantées devraient avoir des butées physiques pour empêcher tout jeu ou mouvement. 9.5/10
