My thoughts exactly

@toddsherman812 Год назад

I'm so glad you reviewed these fans! I've been debating whether to spend $600 to replace my 11 Corsair SP fans, which have given me a cable management nightmare (22 cables, yikes!). Your review has been helpful, but I still have some concerns about the software and default programmed RGB effects. I've read some Amazon reviews that mention the software can be buggy and difficult to set up. I would really appreciate it if you could do a follow-up review that dives into the software and showcases the different default RGB effects. It would be extremely helpful in making my decision to purchase these fans. Having a clearer understanding of the software experience and the RGB effects would definitely help me (and probably others) feel more confident in investing in these fans. Thanks again for your initial review, and I hope to see that follow-up soon! Also I just want to express my sincere gratitude to you for taking the time to show off and review these fans. It's truly awesome that you've provided us with valuable insights and an honest opinion about their performance. Your dedication to helping others make informed decisions is greatly appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you once again for shedding light on these fans! I'll use your link when I go to buy the fans 😉

@toddsherman812 Год назад

@@mikesunboxing Hey Mike, thank you so much for offering to answer any direct questions I might have. I really appreciate your willingness to help. I was curious if you wouldn't mind showcasing the software and its capabilities in conjunction with the fans in various configurations while being manipulated via Windows instead of externally from a connected PC. I'm particularly interested in seeing how well it works within a system when paired with the fans in different configurations (3 fans, 2 fans & 1 fan). I'd love to see how the rainbow RGB effect looks, as it seems every manufacturer has a different way of doing "rainbow RGB" between MSI, Corsair iCue, Asus, etc. If possible, could you also demonstrate a wide range of effects and colors, particularly focusing on orange, white and violet RGB using static light setups using the ThermalTake software? Thanks again for your time and expertise!

I have the RGB version of Artics P12s in my case. A set of three was like, 30 bucks. And they're pretty much on par with the best fans out there. Hell, Mike did a video on them a year ago and called them the best. Hardware Canucks and Gamer's Nexus are (pun hard to avouid) fans of the P12. This is just stupid expensive. Are you sitting down by the way? There's only one local retailer for these fans. 193 quid.

@Smoos54 7 месяцев назад

Dual ring??? What's that?

@gamechannel1271 4 месяца назад

These are dual ring, inside and outside ring. I assume by dual ring you mean two outside rings of the front and back, of which most none of those have a lit inner ring. It's a matter of preference, the money you spend here is justified.

@XENONEOMORPH1979 Год назад

i do believe using molex connectors you can use more wattage than the sata connectors specially when you going to use 3 or more fans the only thing they have to work out is the controller itself or just use both controllers if you use more than three fans i bet they were pricy to buy .nice video i do like them.

The design is great but the pricing on these is utterly unacceptable. They are actually more expensive that Corsair ML fans which takes quite some effort. These need to be more like £60 to £70 for 3 to be competitive. You can get the Lian li unifan triple kit for around £70 which currently has far stronger brand power, though lack the nice fan swap feature.
