Thermalright TL-C12C-S & TL-C12CW-S RGB Fan Review 

So happy I found your video, literally installing them and thought I needed a hub(got a pack of 6). MB only has 2 fan hubs you pointing out the daisy chain just saved me time and $.

I'm a big fan of these fans, pun intended. I tried them out when I built a PC for a friend last year on a budget. I have compared specs with a $70 Lian Li 3 pack and the Thermalright fans have significantly better static pressure and flow rate, while actually being slightly quieter. I will concede that the Lian Li fans may look slightly better but not $55 better. Depending on the case, you might not be able to tell anyway. Certainly wouldn't be able to tell in a case with a proper high airflow mesh front. Cannot overstate the benefit of 'daisy chaining', ripped off from Arctic's PST. If you are using 12 fans, I wouldn't plug them all into the same power header though. Even a midrange board tends to have 3 system fan headers these days. Doesn't matter for the ARGB connections and I'll use just one even if there are 2 on the board. LEDs aren't going to overdraw the header or wiring but you hook up enough fans to one header, you might burn something. Probably the daisy chain connectors because you'd be drawing 12 fans worth of current through a single point through a connector that was really only designed for a single fan. I'd say 3 on one header is probably a sensible limit. Another fun thing you can do is piggyback the rear fan off the CPU fan header so that it runs in time with the CPU cooler. Pretty much a straight shot there and it is dumb to have that rear exhaust fan moving less air than the CPU cooler, which can happen on a lot of boards, depending on design and how they are set up in BIOS. The air stacks up, gets turbulent and impairs the extraction of the GPU heat out the rear vents and top screen via positive pressure from the front intake fans. I think on a lot of newer boards, the sys fan header nearest the CPU is set to run at the same speed as the CPU fan. This is but one of the many reasons why just slapping a PC together and running it for all of 5 minutes before packing it up and shipping it out the door is a horrible practice but is followed by all major SIs and the majority of smaller volume and custom builders. You can get a decent prebuilt or custom as long as you buy it from me or one of the half dozen other builders on the planet who go the extra mile and then drive a few more hours just to be sure. 'New' just means a component that has had very little testing. Used is actually often a better bet. I've seen too many new parts DOA or fail quickly due to poor QC. I just used these fans again in a build for sale yesterday. R5 2600/RX 6600. 3 fans in front, one in back and one on the cooler. PC runs cool and quiet, even with the GPU power limit at 120% and the CPU drawing 115W with an OC. I used an Assassin 120 X SE R cooler and was blown away when it kept the CPU at 52C during a burn test. It is the thinnest 120mm cooler I've ever seen but I'm planning to get one for my Ryzen 5600X. A recent GPU upgrade left me with more room and the 92mm cooler is looking awfully small. Been running an undervolt/underclock to keep temps reasonable and for $20, I can overclock the piss out of it and still drop temps by 10-15C.

Why does this guy not have more subs? You tackle all major concerns consumer have for every video you do regardless of the content. Good job..

My mobo doesn’t have an rgb header I do have a commander core from Corsair that I have two a120s connected to. I’m thinking about getting the 90mm fan for the low profile cooler but not sure if I’ll be able to hook it to the command core and the cpu fan controller pins. I’m wanting to add one more tiny rgb fan to the cpu basically but don’t have the rgb header.

How do did you control the color for these fans?

Can the daisy chain to hooked to ARGB fan controller hub or has to be plugged to the motherboard?

I can’t figure out how to daisy chain them. Is it only the two connections shown in the video for all three fans? If so would I just leave the rest of the cables hanging?

Great review

Do you have a video on how to daisy chain the fans together , not too many helpful videos on how to connect the wires properly when connecting multiple fans especially for first time pc builders it would be much appreciated if you made content on where it connects to and how it works in death thank you👍

how do you control the fan speeds having problem

i'm definitly taking theses, in france we have a legal warrenty of 2 years so if something breaks we get a refund or a replacement

How many LEDs does this fan have in the argb?

What IS the name of his case ?

you deserve more subs. edited like a 100k subs channel yet you only have 16 (17 now, you earned one)

Yoooo nice video, I think I'm gotta get those for my next build. Are there any limits of the daisy chaining? Is 3 fans the maximum or could I chain all my coolers?

Hello guys, i would appreciate if you could help me, i hav x99 a that doesnt have rgb header and case msi armor that has inbuilt rgb strip that diesnt work and it comes with rgb controller whitch makes fans attached to it work but no rgb, what kind of rgb controller would i need (sata/to 3pin?) and can i use it for these fans from vid if i decide to buy them ?

hi, nice video, can you please tell me how to set up the rgb and how to change it please? Is there some sort of software for it? i have a corsair rgb fan hub and downloaded icue, but it didnt detect it.

how do i daisy chain these please

as for regular or reverse flow would u just flip the fan? are the fans still working well for you

Hi, do you know what the difference is between to C-S and W-S - thanks

What rgb software are you using?

Tysm! 😊

Thank you

What if you don’t have argb header? I did buy the thermalright argb hub. How do I install it?

Are these THERMALRIGHT TL-C12C-S compatible with a Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4?

hello, how is in radiator?

how can u program the lights to be different colors?

Can I just connect it with the 4pin into the motherboard?

great video just got these

i’m thinking about getting these but just wondering, how do you change the rgb do they have a software?

is the white light the whitest white the RGB can do?

is there a software to control the fans?

Hi, how is the noise? I have the cougar mx330-g air case, the stock fans at 1300 rpm hit 41 Db. Are these thermalright fans louder or not?

Is there a softest you can use to change rgb

How do I change rgb colour on the fan?

where do you get the rgb software download for these fans as the only have the aio cooler software on their website

hello how to control the rgb of the fan pls

My mobo RGB connector has 4 pins, the fan rgb connector is 3, should I bend the pin at the mobo?

You can remove the sticker to make it look better

the review is really good thx for that! but one quatsion i saw on other vids that one fan can connect another one to him but not 3 if i have one 5v argb vdg connecion and one pwm 4 pin connector on my mother board how much fans can i connect to it 2? 3? or maybe 4 idk

How do I control colors with what software

What app did u use to change the color ?

Hi may I know how to control the Rgb lighting ?

What if I have a 4 pin rgb header on my motherboard ?

How do you put the colors you want cuz I can’t

Which software did you use to control the color of the RGB?

One question. If you buy a one pack does it also come with daisy chainable capabilities?

That sticker can be removed super easily. I actually remove mine and place white vinyl over them. It looks so good in the end.

1:33 I want to figure out how do you put that fan on top of the PSU in the case. Explains

I'm planning to put 23 of these into a Thermaltake Core P8 TG. So, the cheaper the Fan, the better! 😂

Can i connect 6 of them togheter?

I used to get pc fans for 2 bucks a pop in 2007

What Rgb software do i use for these fans

How do i change the collor of the fans

can i daisy chain 5 of this

Bro I bought these but i have no idea how to hook the the rgb

So the W is reversed?

Yea but how tf you change the rgb

What software do you use to control the RGB on these?

And then I noticed he have only 5k subs

Bro how tf did you install that shit has no threading on it

like, subbed and commented :D will do so on the mainchannel, keep up the great work ^^

i bought a few of these and after a week of having these they started screeching and making terrible sounds i will not buy this brand ever again.

Bad review, no mention of sound at all, which is a very key aspect of fan specs.

lets be real. the Artic P12 is just as cheap or cheaper and some of the best performing fans you can buy. they are under $5 but they have 0 RGB another plus in my book.

What horrible models of memory.
