we all know that one of the best ways to make your system look customers toe add lighting.

And we know that one of the most expensive ways to do that is to get RGB fans.

Adverbs of manner

So what happens when you order some of the cheapest RGB fans that you could possibly buy on Amazon?

We're gonna look at the e Z d I Y fab fans looking for a new PC or PC hardware than today.

Sponsored Micro Center is guaranteed to have what you need.

Huge selection of hardware in devices along with their industry.

Leading prices mean you get more for your money this holiday season with build Your own micro center carries the latest in PC Tech from all major brands.

Well, passionate, knowledgeable sales staff are available to assist you with your next build.

Not comfortable building it yourself been certified in store technicians can build it for you.

And, as little is the same day to see all that micro center has to offer and to find the store closest to you, click the sponsor link in the description below.

So this is what you get right here is a pretty basic black box.

I ordered two sets of them because I don't want tell you what the prices, because I kind of want you guys to go into the description and look for yourself, because one I did by mouth Amazon and there is an affiliate link there, and two prices seem to change when we do reviews.

It's weird We did a review of the Deep Cool or the land cool to case for only 89 bucks, and then, suddenly, like the price went up like 100 and 30.

So anyway, just basic black box, which you might expect from a company That's probably they're probably making fans for someone out there.

And this is obviously a China brand that is like, um, probably no AM or sodium for something else, which means they're making fans, and they're like, Well, we're gonna take the design and make our own, which happens all over the place, and something else on the back to is it does say right here that please test it first of anything's wrong, contact us.

You can get our information also by using the key R Q R code.

So that's kind of nice to have on the box.

At least, um, it says specifically to email them or contact them on Amazon or Facebook so they don't even have, like, a direct wow, get a manual.

There's five fans in here that shows three on here, but it comes with a 10 fan control box that also plugs in to say that and also has a RGB, which works with mystic light, an aura which are the three pin A RGB headers.

It does not work with your standard 12 volt four pins.

It shows you right here in the manual, but it also comes with a remote control, and what's cool about that is if you're doing a basic type of build and you're not running with one of these high end motherboards with RGB built in an Air D B headers and such, then you can still have your modes and your lights controlled by this remote control.

You can also control fan speed this way, so that's kind of nice, because you can simply turn it up, turn it down with your remote control.

And now I have to worry about setting up any custom fan profiles if you don't want to.

The first thing I'm going to say is that these fans are built way be fear For a second there I was like, really give me four.

Um, they're built way beef here than I was expecting.

I don't know what kind of plastic it is, but they do have a very coarse air.

Look, if you will like these, look like the same corners you'd find out.

Once again, it says how many volts it is.

But it does not tell me where RPM I could not find any information on the Web site about static pressure.

The only thing I could tell you right now is that it is a dynamic fluid.

Barry, let me Let me kind of explain this a little bit before we move on to the actual testing of this hydraulic bearings basically mean that the three Impeller or fan blades shaft that goes into the motor has a layer of fluid around it to keep it from touching the sides.

Keep it centered and give it something slick to rotate on the other types of bearings that you're gonna find out there are ball bearing, which were pretty self explanatory.

There's, Ah, whole ring of balls that the shaft goes down the middle of, and then those balls rotate, which give it a nice smooth, and they're oiled.

Obviously, we gives it a nice smooth service to rotate on.

There's a sleeve bearing, which is basically the same type of thing, is a ball bearing only.

It's a longer more of a cylindrical sleeve that's doing the the gap filling the Rolls Royce type of bearing that you'll find out there specifically with some of the Corsair fans, which is the maglev, which is uses magnets to levitate or they're maglev is with the referred to as to levitate the fan hub from basically touching anything through magnetism.

Some hydraulic varying fans will have a lot of slopping movement.

It doesn't seem like it's moving in and out too, too much.

If I grab one of these fans over here, this is actually one of the course.

But that makes sense, too, because the tolerances air a lot tighter with magnets, and they're gonna be with the fluid bearings.

You actually had to have some thickness of fluid in there to do its job.

The other thing that's a little bit of a drawback of this is the fact that they are using a proprietary connector.

So the RGB and the fan power and the P W M and all that are, you know, they're PBM controlled.

So what you're going to kind of deal with here potential points of failure.

If this box goes bad, your up to 10 fan's connected to it will also not work.

Fortunately, though, if you do like I did with how inexpensive these are, you buy two sets, so you have spare fans and spare controller or just outfit as many fans as you can in your system.

And then this is led one and led to because this particular brand does also sell RGB strips so you can add to RGB strips to this and 10 fans.

And it connects to your system on Lee through the RGB header, which is right here that does not have to be used.

Like I said, we have the remote control and then Scott say to power, At least it's got Seita.

Some of these brands are still using Molex, which was really stupid, but as you can see, there's no way to actually connect these fans to your motherboard four p.

So that's kind of some of the trade off that you get by going with a super inexpensive brand like this to get your RGB and five fans and a controller is you give up any sort of software control.

So the only way you're able to control these is through the remote control.

We need to go ahead and get these kind of set up.

We need to come up with some sort of a flow test here to check.

I do not have any idea what these rpm's are.

And it doesn't matter if I hooked up to a computer to see what the rpm readout says, because you can't because it just showed you that.

So as we move into this, remember, there is no information whatsoever regarding CFM rpm, static pressure and none of that.

I can tell you the blades look like they're kind of a mixture of airflow and static pressure.

We will be sticking them on to a radiator as well, to see how well they could move air through a rad.

This is one of the visual tests I always do with fans.

The whole bunch of could freely hinge and then just push it down.

So it sits straight and I'm doing it right across the middle of the hub.

Not the highest static pressure, which would be right here on the side.

I kind of want to see how it handles it right here.

We know that they're going to well, J, you're an idiot because it goes out this side of the fans.

So let's go ahead and move that around to the right side of the fan with exhaust actually is Phil has an idea, though, if something, we're gonna try and do to figure out what the r p m.

Because he has a sound tuner that will listen to the frequency of something.

And then his apple actually, tell him how many times per minute it's doing that.

And then we will do the math to figure out what that is in our PM for the family for a second and then weaken times that by 60 to find out for a minute.

So we're plugged in a state of nothing's plugged into the RGB thinking.
