Airgoo 3 Packs Rainbow Fan Frame for 120mm Noctua PWM Fans, Compatible with 5V 3-pin ARGB Aura SYNC, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync M/B

Alright, so here is a breakdown of my experience so far.The Bad#1 - So starting out, first thing I noticed is that the box was heavily damaged like it had been crushed and possibly got wet. It had been placed in a brown paper shipping bag which was equally damaged. Note that my weather was clear today, no rain. That said, the product didn't appear to be damaged, so I continued on setting things up.#2 - The next problem arose with actually attaching the frames to the fans. Here it seems that there might be some inaccuracy in the machining process as the holes were about .5-1.5 micrometers off centered. They were also threaded. This caused two problems: they were a pain to get flush with the fan because they kept pushing back on trying to align them after the first one was in; and the frames needed to flex slightly to get opposing screws in. This flex is minor and I probably wouldn't notice it just looking at them already mounted, but it was noticeable while mounting them. The frame is made of plastic, and it feels kinds of cheap/flimsy, but that worked out for being able to flex it without breaking it, a more solid build likely would have stopped it from flexing (though would probably mean the holes would be in the right spot too, so kind of moot).The "Eh, whatever."#1 - So due to having to connect with the 3 pin ARGB connector instead of USB (thankfully, I'm running out of those), I ran into a catch. I'm not able to use the Lustro app designed by Airgoo and instead have to use Polychrome Sync which is the app designed for controlling the lights on my motherboard (ASRock). In fact, until I setup the app and actually set the color, I didn't even think the frames were working. Support later (after I already figured it out, but still very quick response) did confirm that I would need to use Polychrome instead of their app due to compatibility. I find the app somewhat annoying to setup because for some reason the way it addresses RGB is like "off by 2" and some/most addresses have Red and Green flipped (this is a problem with ASRock, not this product). But, "eh, whatever", as a result I get the 'benefit' of being able to have two of the lights on my frames to be a different color. My camera doesn't really do it justice, you can tell the colors apart more easily IRL than what the pictures show.#2 - As many others have mentioned, the diffusion isn't perfect, there are definitely hotspots where the lights are. However, considering everything in my case except my GPU and RAM has these LED 'hotspots', I will say that these are probably the least noticeable between the frames, my CPU cooler, motherboards, and the old RGB fans I had that my Phanteks + these frames were replacing. So overall this doesn't bother me. Actually until looking into frames for my new fans, I didn't even know that 'poor diffusion' was a problem, I just thought it was normal. If the lights were recessed slightly further back into the frame, they probably wouldn't be noticeable when looking at them straight on, but are immediately noticeable from the side.#3 - White is definitely tinged blue, but I don't usually have it set to white, so not really a problem for me. I included a picture comparing the white and brightness of my RAM (which is significantly closer to actually white) to the fans. Note this comparison is taken through tinted tempered glass.The Good#1 - These things are bright enough that the ring is visible on the other side of the fan through the dust filter/vents of the case and are clearly visible through tinted tempered glass from the front.#2 - The colors that "look" good are very versatile even at low values, for example, the orange color I have set at 255R 25G, and moving up or down by even 2-3 on green makes for a noticeably more yellow-green or red-orange color.#3 - Viewing the fans head on (ignoring the ring and just checking the light on the blades) is has a good smooth blend of solid color. Note that these fan blades are grey normally. Viewing from a side angle as shown in the pictures gives this light vortex effect near the ring where it isn't diffused, but again doesn't look bad.#4 - You can get a few good shades of purple depending what you want. I personally have the light wedge (mentioned above) set to 134G 255B#5 - Support responded to me in about 3 hours. Even though it was the answer I had already reached with my own troubleshooting, They were still quick to confirm my suspicions about what the problem I had reported was caused by.TL;DR - The machining of these is shim-shod and there is room for improvement both on the LEDs and frame itself. However, they do the job, and adequately at that. Jury is still out on the longevity of these. also these say they are for Noctua but they 'fit' on Phanteks as well (and presumably any other standard 120mm fan).9/10 would buy again, this is a great option if you want high performance fans (which are not RGB) but still want pretty lights anyway.

I installed these over the normal Corsair fans that came with my PC case so I didn't have to replace the fans I already bought and they work great and are easily daisy chained together. They have 30 LEDs each and are very bright with great color accuracy. My only complaint is that the plastic diffuser that the LEDs are in does not do a good job of diffusing and you can clearly see the hot-spots where the individual LEDs are.

The Bad:1) I blame this on Amazon's warehouse. My box was ripped open with part of the box missing and the screws were missing. Amazon refunded the order so that's resolved but beware when buying.2) The holes to attach these are thick and not flush with the edge of the ring that touches the fan. This is fine if you're attaching them to the unattached part of a case fan but if you're attaching them to the side of the fan mounted to your case you are out of luck. The screws will not be long enough to go through the halo rings and secure the fans. However if the screws are metal the trick I used should work for you (see below). Also the screw holes are brittle plastic and would not allow for much torque.The Good:1) These are really nice. Plenty of light, I keep all my RGB pretty dim and these will go as light as anything else in my case. A great addition even to black fans (see photos).2) You can daisy them so you only need one available ARGB lead or header.3) In the images the halos are on the very top lighting the black fans of my AIO (DeepCool LT720). Because of the mounting issue mentioned before I had to get creative with that but has you can see in the second picture, a pair of tiny magnets at each screw hole on either side of a piece of clear tape did the trick. The magnets hold them securely to the screw heads on my AIO radiator fans. They look great and they are easy to pop on and off for cleaning.

thay look good but two of them burnt out shortly after i installed them ...might have bin that i was squishing them to install them too tho

I just finished my custom water cooled build and was very impressed by just how much pop these added. I went with 3 noctua nf-p12's on a 360mm radiator in gray and grosser gray, to theme my build, I took these apart, and masked off the front and back of my noctua's only painting the side of the frames and these. I then used these to cover the muddy brownish gray front with a nice white color that matched the painted sides and the radiator. it turned out great, and these definitely added that much needed pop

Pretty good led light ring for the cost. It's definitely bright enough.If you don't want to daisychain your led rings (i.e you want to connect 2 fan rings each respectively to a different motherboard 5v 3 pin header) you will need an additional JST to 3pin 5v connector or JST to 4 pin 12v connector.So If you want to connect 3 fans directly to your motherboard (please check if your motherboard has 3 separate 3pin 5v connectors) you will need 3 JST to 3pin 5v connector cables.1 comes with the box. So you will need to purchase 2 additional cables. These can be found on Amazon as well.In addition to the rings and 12 black fan screws, the box comes with the following 2 wires (for connecting the last daisy chained ring to the motherboard)1 x JST(male/female split end) to 5v 3 pin.(This is for argb which works with software like Corsair icue, gigabyte rgb fusion 2.0, msi mystic light, open rgb)1 x JST(male/female split end) 12v 4 pin connector. ( The older kind configured via a physical controller and possibly some other way I'm missing. I personally don't use this one so do your own research.)Note: For the JST end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it's male or female. Each fan ring has a single rgb cable coming out that splits into a male end and a female end for the purpose of daisy chaining.
