Deepcool is making decent fans, pc cases and cpu coolers both air and water. It's one of my favorite brands where quality follow price range but whet it comes to fans you got high quality fan in budget price. Using RF Deepcool in my PC.
Nice and Simple Review 👍🏻 How to connect 6 Rf120 Led Fan to my Asus Ex H110M-V it only has two Fan header and the one is already use by Stock Intel Cpu Fan. I need to connect it to finish my budget build. Thanks
Hey, So you need to get a few fan header splitters like this on we - geni.us/uZUrC Just be sure you check fan headers you have ether they are 3pin or 4pin. And according to that buy 4pin or 3pin splitters :)
I can't find it anywhere in my bios where to change the voltage or set to DC mode, and I already bought a fan controller, and its still at max speed. I bought a 4 pin deepcool controller and plugged both into the sysfan and cpufan, and I can't adjust the curve in neither, the changes only applies to my wraith prism(cpu fan). What can I do? I have an a320m-k mobo.
Hey, hmm as I do not own that motherboard, i can't check it. There is a possibility, that your motherboard does not support changing modes (as it's really basic model), but honestly, I never had similar issues with any modern board. but I have used voltage limiters for a really old boards, you can get them from aliexpress for quite cheap: 1. This one is really cheap, like 50 cents - it reduces voltage by 35%, so you fans would spin ~65% speed and a noise will be reduced too. But you can't control/change speed etc. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001452583146.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.73dd4224CQz412&algo_pvid=1086b8a0-6a2d-4f6e-90fc-ed2b5d1ec931&algo_expid=1086b8a0-6a2d-4f6e-90fc-ed2b5d1ec931-0&btsid=0bb0624016059739224808568e42b2&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ 2. This one is ~$2 and it's kind of a hub powered from sata. But here you have a possibility to choose Low / High :) www.aliexpress.com/item/4001190583221.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7e6c3470zp7oe2&algo_pvid=9353ef54-7a84-4866-a169-00724af91d53&algo_expid=9353ef54-7a84-4866-a169-00724af91d53-2&btsid=0b0a555e16059740697782520e6f79&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ There might be more options on aliexpress, but I've used these two in the past :)
Hey, did you resolved the problem? I ordered 4 rf120 fans along with the Deepcool controller as well, so I'm wondering If I'm going to have the same problem or not...
@@otto6185 Hey, actually not... But I only got that problem because of my mobo, it's very basic. But I believe those voltage limiters would do the work just fine.
@@EpicGameTech Hey, I bought it and recently installed on my pc and it works just fine! My only question is can I change the low/high button when the computer is on. Thanks!
Thanks for the nice and simple review. I also bought 6 of these for $5 each (saw it cheaper at the official dealer's website but it was out of stock). They are very beautiful. When at around 800RPM (default speed on my MSI B450 Tomahawk) it lights more like a light green while on it's full speed it's more blueish. Before installing them I only had 2 case fans - rear outtake and front intake. But now temperatures have improved drastically, but at the expense of the noise. All in all, great fans for the price.
Hey, yep, they are quite a nice buy for it's price, so you can live with a few "not so premium" features :) In my country they were ~$4 each, so it was really good deal, since the next step is an RGB fan but they cost like 2-3x more. So these ones are really good for cheaper builds OR you want lots of fans (5-8) and you do not want to spend lots of $. At ~800rpm they are really ok regarding noise :) For me ~1000rpm is still quite ok.
@@thevader6946 What's a fan splitter? I didn't need anything additional. It already comes with both 3 pin and molex connectors. You can daisy-chain connect those fans into themselves
Hey man, I just found your channel while looking for reviews on these fans and I gotta say your content is real nice, you earned a subscriber! Also, I have a question about the fans... If I run them off Molex do they run at full power?
Hey, thanks ;) Yes, if you would use moles, they would spin 100% all the time. So it's way better to connect them to your motherboard fan header. Or to get a fan splitter, connect them to a splitter and then to your mobo as in this way you will use only 1 fan header on your mobo. Also, via motherboard, you can control speed via voltage (DC fan control mode in BIOS) unless your motherboard is really old and BIOS does not have an option to choose between PWM / DC fan control modes :)
I would connect them to the mobo anyways, I just wanted to know what happens when they are connected directly to the PSU, now I know, thanks for the heads up!
These fans have just one fan header (3pin). Maybe it's odd since on the motherboard, you have 4pin fan headers, but 3pin fan is compatable and it's ok :)
Hey, Well, loudness depends more on what fan speed you will set rather than how many fans you will use. I mean 6 fans running 50% will be quieter than 4 fans running 90% speed :) In general, 4 fans are enough from an airflow perspective. Unless you want to achieve better looks/appearance and populate all fan spots with 6 fans :)
@@EpicGameTech Thanks for information and fast response! I think I will use 6 fans. Lets hope my pc will not sound like a jet if I run them at 90% speed :) (btw Im buying same rf120 fans Red color)
Well i recommend setting fans to 60-70% if you want constant speed. Or even better to set a fan curve so fans would wramp up only when cpu temps go up :)
@@EpicGameTech also 1 more quick question - if I plug all 6 fans into a fan hub (deepcool fan hub FH-10). It says you can connect 3pin fans but will I still be able to control fan speed?
Yep, you can control 3pin fan speed. You just need to choose DC fan mode in BIOS. Unless a motherboard is old and has no such option. But most of the newer motherboards have it :)
Hey, you need to use just one of these two options :) Keep in mind, using MOLEX you fan will spin at full speed all the time. So it will move air pretty good, but also it will be quite loud. So i suggest using 3pin fan header to your motherboard so you will be able to control fan speed using DC mode and set the right curve depending from CPU or system temperature :)
@@EpicGameTech and will these fans be fine for my deepcool matrexx 55 mesh case? I got 3 in the front and 1 in the back front is intake back is outtake will it be good? Or do I need to put 3 more ontop?
well, there are quite budget fans and they are really OK, but I would use them in more budget builds like up to ~$800 or so. For more expensive (mid-range) builds I would recommend PCCOOLER Halo fans (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EJMcYVmd0gY.html) or Deepcool RF 120M or regular RF RGB fans :) Not saying you can't use these, but they are oriented to budget systems. Regarding how many fans you need - well, if I could, I would install all possible fans for better aesthetics. But functionality-wise - 3 or 2 at the front (intake), 1 at the back (exhaust), 1 at the top-back near the other exhaust fan (exhaust). In this way, you will have a positive-neutral pressure in your case and most of the dust will be handled by your front mesh filter ;)
Hey, These particular fans are just one color. But there are 3 variations you can buy: - RF120W is white - RF120R is red - RF120B is blue That's why they are cheaper than RGB fans at least 2x (in my country) :)
Hey, well you do not need a fan splitter, if you plug 3pin fan connector to your motherboard and your motherboard has enough fan headers ;) But yes, in case you want to use many of these fans, you will need a simple 3pin splitter.
Hey, yep, should be fine. Most of the time, 1 header can provide 1A, and this fan needs 0.24A as manufacturer states. So in general, up to 4 of these particular fans per header should be ok :)
@@petrolidraikin3612 you can connect fans to a separate motherboard fan headers. But there are too little fan headers on your motherboard or you want to chain them, you can get some cheap 3pin splitter, something like this one amzn.to/3o9R8Yw :)
Hey, You need to connect fans to your motherboard and not Molex. Then, in BIOS you need to use/select DC mode in a fan control section and you will be able to set a speed you want :)
Hey, well 3 pin fan speed can be controlled from a BIOS, but instead of PWM control mode you need to choose DC mode. Then you will be able to control same as 4pin fans, just instead of % you will see voltage number in a graph. Some old motherboards might not have different control options :)
Hey, yes, in most of the motherboard BIOS you can choose PWM or DC fan control method. For 3pin you need to choose DC mode and you can set your curve just like with 4pin fans. The only thing is that the LED will be less bright on 50% speed vs 100% speed. You can check brightness since I've tested my video :)
@@EpicGameTechMotherboard MSI h61 p20 G3. There's fan speed choice. But change doesn't affect fan. Still in max speed. And how much is decibel in max speed.
Yes, it's true, since LED uses voltage and fan speed is also controlled with voltage. So less voltage = less speed = less light :) From 4:13 I've shown/tested lights using different speeds (320, 620, 1000 and 1300 rpm) and as you can see from the video, 300rpm light is barely seen, 620 rpm it's already OK. But yes, it's a budget/cheap category, that's why they cost like 2-4 times cheaper than premium brands.
Hey, Unfortunately, I didn't measured cable length (and manufacturer does not specify it either), but it's quite standard (might be just a little shorter) just like any other pc case fan cable length :)
Hmm, I actually have more expensive Deepcool RGB fans at the moment RF120m and I've measured their cable is 30cm. So I assume RF120W cables could be the same or in ~20-30cm range. But it's a guess from my sides since I do not have this fan to measure :)
Epic Game Tech it should be good then. I will buy it tomorrow :) and oh,it is important to connect them together? Cuz i cant,i am installing one on the back,abd 2 on the front.
There RF120W do not have connecting chain etc. Well if you would use MOLEX connector you could connect them and tehn to PSU molex. But if you have in mind PWM header that plugs to your motherboard - if you buy 2 fans, you will need 2 separate motherboard fan headers. Or, you can buy a splitter/fan hub as-well :)
Hi, sorry for my stupid question but I want to buy the 5in1 kit for this fan and I have msi z390 gaming plus and it has 2×4pin 12v rgb headers .. is it possible ? www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS/Specification This is my mobo
Hey, These exact fans (RF120W) do not have a separate RGB connector (as I've mentioned in my video) :) They only have a 3 pin fan connector that powers the fan + LED at the same time. It's because these fans have only one colour (white). So you need only fan headers for these and no RGB headers. Deepcool have other very similar fans like "RF120 3 in 1" pack or RF120m (5 pack). These fans have separate RGB headers. But they also have splitters included so you can connect any of these into 1 chain and you end up with 1 RGB connector that you can connect to your motherboard :)
