Antec 140mm RGB Fan, 140mm Fan, RGB Case Fans, PC Fans, Addressable RGB Fans, Prizm Series, 2 Pack with Controller Hub

The Antec NeoPrizm is a ring of light with a black fan blade, I purchased Corsair QL120 because the reviews are excellent and was disappointed to learn that the controller only had ARGB connectors.Antec controller has both the ARGB and the Fan connector on the opposite side. The 2 buttons allow you to set some manual fan colors and animations. If you press and hold one of the buttons it gets the ARGB pattern from the motherboard via a connector.The Corsair QL120 fan blades are not black and have more LEDs but they colorize the center of the fan which behind a dust filter looked pretty terrible. In my opinion the Antec looks much cleaner and nicer.I have had previous versions of this product too which were good. The new version has braided cables which are nice. I use custom mount screws and the braided cables slide down and up the curved contour of the fan under the corner screws which eliminates the need for zipties and other fastening. The corsair was much more difficult with wire management.The price is kindof high, and I am disappointed that there isn't a 3 Fan + 2 LED Kit, or that I can't find the controller for sale as I have extra fans from my rigs which don't require 5 fans only 3. Also I the placement of the double sided velcro pad was not great and I ended up loosing one of the 2 in my recent builds because I didn't see it in the packaging. The Corsair double sided stick is not reusable like the 2x velcro and double stick one in the Antec.The reviews are backwards, the Antec really should be #1 in my opinion.Other thoughts, it would be really nice to have more fan size options and maybe a fan controller with more than 5 ports. It takes too much planning and forethought to figure out all the fans and sizes a case can have.

I purchased the Anted Prizm 120 ARGB 5 fan pack with controller module. This kit is compatible with many manufacturer LED controllers/programming standards. In my case, I am using an ASUS mobo which uses the 'Aura' environment.Fans/LEDsThe fans were easy and straighforward to mount in my case. The LED rings are bright, and the colors match across the other non Antec components in my system, from my LED RAM modules to the built in lighting on the motherboard itself. You'll be pleased at how these look. The fans are quiet, but move adequate air. In this particular build, I'm also using an All-In-One water cooling module and radiator, venting from inside to outside, so it's important that I push cold air into the system. These fans not only conform to the 'Aura' LED programming standard, but the controller module is capable of taking RPM programming input from a Pulsed Wave Modulation output pin. Essentially, your fan speed is dynamically controlled based on the temperature sensors on your CPU. As your CPU gets hotter, the fans speed up, and as the core temp drops, the fans slow down. In all honesty, I had to manually set the fans to run at full speed, in order to see how loud they were, because my CPU never got hot enough for these to ramp up. That said, I could hear the system from across the room, but I have the system in a very echoic room...linoleum floors, not much furniture to absorb the sound. Fan noise is not something that bothers me, as I'm a system engineer by profession, so essentially, even if it's there I don't really hear it. If you're building a system for audio or video production, however, you'll want to make sure you build your system accordingly...large 240 mm fans running at low RPM, and/or water cooling as I've done. Even with water cooling, though, you'll need ambient airflow in your case, and these bad boys will certainly do the trick, and will look fantastic while they're doing it.Controller ModuleThe controller module is slim enough to mount in the cable management section of your case, but if you can't find the room, it's all black and fairly small, so it won't be the showcase of your build. The instructions were a little opaque, but once you spend some time looking back and forth between your mobo manual and the module instructions, things are easy enough to install in the right place. The nice thing is, you don't run any risk of frying anything if you connect the headers to the wrong pins, so you shouldn't worry too much. The one thing you should know going into this is that due to how the control module works, you won't be able to individually program the fans...the same signal and programming gets distributed to all the fans attached to the module. If you want to be able to program fan speeds or LED effects separately, you'll need multiple control modules. That said, I'm more concerned with how the system performs under load than I am having a light show in my case.AccessoriesThe kit came with a double sided foam adhesive square for mounting the control module, and more than long enough cables for a mid-tower sized case. You'll want to get your own zip ties or velcro strips to tie up the wires, but unless you're doing your first build, you'll likely already understand this.SummaryThe fans move plenty of air, they don't rattle and shake the case to pieces when they are ramped up, and while you can definitely hear them, it's mostly the rushing air you hear, not the fan motors. This noise factor can easily be mitigated by buying larger fans, or by adding water cooling.The LED aspect of the fans matches color well, is nice and bright, and the fans are all controlled and synced by plugging them in to the included controller module. The module supports many industry LED standards, and is compatible with PWM headers on your motherboard.All in all, I consider this a fantastic product at this price point, and I am absolutely happy with it in my build. Unless you have unique requirements, you shouldn't bat an eyelid at buying this kit.

These fans are budget. They do exactly what is advertised, but unfortunately there is a tiny whine in all/most of the fans that I have recieved. The fans to not come tapped, so screwing them in the first time is a little bit difficult.The 4-pin fan connectors get relatively stuck in the fan controller, so once you plug in you are committed to whatever set up (and cable management) you initially try. If you push slightly too hard on the connections on the controller, the whole port slides inside the housing.The cable length is adequate for most mid towers, especially if you are running cables in the open side of your case. If you want to run cables around the back of the motherboard, be careful as you might run out of cable and become very limited on controller mounting locations. I had to mount mine on the back of the motherboard panel because of these factors, although its likely I have just enough cable to re-mount it on the bottom of the case.Overall, this is a good budget option, but there are a variety of factors that irk me enough to recommend other options.

5 stars for customer service, 1st order came in with missing and broken parts, contacted amazon customer care and they immediately sent a replacement, fans working great on new build.
