I've been eyeing up these fans for like 2 months now, and I'm genuinely hyped that you're reviewing them. 👌

[@KosherTech]

Appreciate that 💯

[@blizruby]

same actully this video made me so hyped to buy those fans. thank you very much for doing that video, Koshertech!!

[@KosherTech]

Thank u guys for enjoying em ☺️

@@KosherTech whats your RAM model?

[@welcometoronsworld6589]

Yes CoolerMaster fans are coming up as well as there cases. The fans are super nice with nice heavy and durable plastic molding which is superior, but once you mention no light adjustment and you got to change everything in the ARGB software but overall nice and looks good in a white case.

[@docholliday6296]

You need more subs. You have a refreshing tech channel. Thanks for the info on these fans man.

[@xcloudx_]

How’s the airflow and the temps compared to the sickleflow? Debating on these two for my next build?!

[@MohamadYoussef-kc5fs]

I just built a PC with 7 of these fans and the hub and absolutely stunning. Evey fan is adresable can be programmed for different colours and patterns. The dual rings just adds more vibrant colours and style. Must be used with rhe hun to get the best out if it.

[@Cranji]

thank you bro weve been confused for a week

[@dronzer007]

Nice guide, I was going to build a pc soon and the fan connections were my biggest issue. This video just made my life easier.

[@holdenfuster2582]

thank you so much, I suck at wiring and am a bit dumb sometimes, have never done this before so your tutorial helped me out alot more than you think. Thank you

[@lexx__fr]

Thank you for reviewing these fans! I had doubt on whether to buy them or not, but this video convinced me to!

[@thunderarch5951]

You can also buy one of those third party argb controllers, since these fans come with the 3pin and not a proprietary, and they also come with the remote If you pick a good one you'll also have a variety of RGB effects

[@samt.1356]

You didn't show how to set up using bios. That is the one I most need

[@saitamajr12]

I bought just one unit of this fan, but the 140mm version, it's a great fan so far, the led ring is very beautiful, the air flow is strong, and the best, the connector is the standard 5v ARGB 3-pin, it worked with a simple Coolmoon controller. The only concern is with the screws, the head is not wide, in my case (corsair 4000d) the screws almost did not hold. Another problem with my corsair 4000d (in fact it depends on your point of view) is because my fan is 140mm, some parts of the led ring were covered in the front panel.

[@astro8972]

is it software controllable ?

[@downundergarage6968]

Hi Mate, greetings from Australia. For me its about the execution and fine details. If i am after a white fan i want it to be fully white so this included white cable, white hub sticker and white rubber pads. Hence why the cooler master makes sense for me. CM ML fans can be had here in Australia for 25 AUD or about 20 USD. So the price is also right.

[@bajerle]

you don't have to use software for the mobo or the fans. SignalRGB works with CM argb controller, same with the fans. after setting up correctly all works similar to iCue. Cheers!

[@nottoolive]

would any brand fan work (asia horse) withe cooler master argb controller?

[@kpadalldotablet1009]

The EZ DIY and other Chinese knock offs are usually rated at 40K hours mean time to failure (MTTF - or average failure time). The Cooler Master fans are rated at 160K MTTF. So, in all fairness, we should be looking at technical specs also, since the MTTF rating is how long the fan lasts. 40K vs 160K MTTF is is over x4 longer life for the CM fans. Incidentally, the Noctua Redux fans, also excellent fans, have a 150K MTTF.

[@robertweekes5783]

These are sick fans. Would be nice to see a slow handheld camera pan, or another shot of the inside toward the front. Wondering how good the rear sides look

[@jranberg3942]

Anyone else having their fan bearings making noise ? i have 9 MF120 fans in my case and the 3 on top that is used as exit fans have started making noises after about a year and a half 🤔

[@42orangeman]

Awesome vid, I've been confused with how dasiy chaining works and how to set up fans using the 5v argb header but this video cleared it all up

[@kireyeve3767]

they look pretty nice, still sticking to my fans :D not fan of no hub again. but I got a gigabyte x570 board and got two 3 pin headers. so the newer gigabyte boards come with 3 pins now. like you said it mostly older once. nice video as always it was FUEGO

[@KosherTech]

Lol appreciate that 💯☺️

[@Sam-to1zg]

18:00 for controlling brightness use Cooler Master Plus+

[@lesterjohntalde296]

it doesnt detect lol

[@CristuelCasto]

Thanks for the helpful video. I was really going crazy trying to set up these fans. The instruction was a little bit too complicated, why do they never include written instructions instead of these drawings? Still, thanks to your video, I was able to set them up. My problem now is that, since I'm using the splitter, the motherboard refuses to detect the presence of the fans so now they're at full speed and making a little bit of noise. Is there a way around this problem or I'm stuck with fans rotating at full speed?

[@AhmadMaseh]

Do you not have any other unused PWM headers ? Some motherboards have up to 4

[@CristuelCasto]

@@AhmadMaseh I was able to change it through the BIOS menu, so it's no longer rotating at full speed. As to why it was not detecting its speed, I have no idea, but it's working now.

[@boabs]

good vid man good detail best ive seen

[@JayzBeerz]

I just got these today and they look great. But as far as keeping the case cool they are so-so. And one of the fans started making a grinding noise right out of a box.

[@Blyyyyyy]

That happened to me too, check if any wires are in the way.

[@bajerle]

just replaced a set of Corsair LL120 for the same amount of MF120 Halo and the Coolermaster one's are MUCH louder in person...

[@gabecu4209]

Hello!! Been thinking about buying new fans and just want to make sure that all the products that was shown in your video is included at the amazon halo cooler

[@iikarko]

With the hub it comes with how many fan can i connect to it

[@purplejoeyo735]

that case looks gorgeous what case is it?

[@quantikosound]

Hi and many thanks for ur usefull content! Im planning to install 9 Halo fans (I will buy 3 kits with 3 fans each one), so can I wire all 9 fans between them and connect to a controller included in the kit or need to wire every 3 fans and cinnect every connection in the cooler master argb hub (if I remember right its not included in the kit)? Thanks in advance

[@dancedany]

I don't have the Rainbow colors anymore. One morning it was gone. Now they have only red and blue colors. Any thoughts?

[@marleyonthemove8058]

Would you pick these over the DEEPCOOL CF120 plus?

[@justinhoang992]

Hi, I really like your video, great work!!! Just wondering if this will work if I chain this with the Lianli ST120 (3pack) (you had reviewed) + B560 gigabyte mobo that has ARGB headers. I might only use the accessories that come with the Lianli, not using any extra hub or so, and control it using Gigabyte software. I know that you mentioned in the video it doesn't work with Giga mobo, but not sure if there are any updates. Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.

[@duncandonuts5268]

I have a white Cooler Master AIO in my Phanteks P360A, and I wanna match the fans, but the Phanteks fan's RGB is some of the nicest RGB I've ever seen!

[@frog7118]

I'm about to try to take ML240R ARGB AIO and add Halo fans to it along with 6 Halo case fans. The ML240 controller has 4 ARGB ports so I will daisy chain 2 fans each to the ports trying to keep the load down. The ML240 controller has a USB 3 port in the bottom that can be linked to a USB connector on the mobo to give me access to Cooler Master's control panel (I hope). My mobo doesn't have a dedicated ARGB connector. Expensive, but all 8 fans should be the same.

[@sageofsixpath99]

hi, can i connect this to argb fan hub of pc cooler(5v) corona the one taht you reviewed before? im planning to buy just 1 fan of this coolermaster halo(as repalcement for the air cooler fan),, although the fan hub of corona have 4pins, but i bought an additional corona fan but it comes with 3pins so i just punch a hole on the connector using heated paperclip so that i can insert it to the hub good thing it works,.

[@jrwong2181]

Do they sound noisy when in a quiet room? Thank for answering

[@KosherTech]

Nah they'll b good

[@ryqnvfx]

@KosherTech are these fans compatible with asus aura sync? Am I able to use the remote outside of the case or is it attached to the fans inside?

[@noostNL]

Bought the MF120 halo set 3-1 and I got a whole different controller. Not even a controller because there is no button on it. WTF

[@BlueSharkRides]

Warning to those buying these fans. The LED's will go full yellow over time. I had to replace a exhaust fan barely and the LED's do NOT match anymore as the other older fans are completely yellowed out. Never noticed until I had to replace this rear fan.

[@macblink]

they look GORGEOUS indeed

I have a question, my mb only has 1 4 pin rbg header but I have one non argb fan and 3 argb fans, how do I get them both to be connected to that 1 pin? Do I have to just use a hub?

[@TheTriangle444]

Will it light up even if i dont plug in the four hole plug?

[@uctran1942]

hello, i have a question, if i want to install 9 pcs of this fan, could i sync RGB with main with only 1 port 5vRGB or 12vRGB, cos my mainboard has only 1 port 5vrgb and 1 port 12vrgb, thanks

[@ploshi]

hi, i’ve connected the fans to my mobo, is it still possible to control the functions/colors though the coolermaster software ?

[@muixgohanx3579]

Sickleflow also come with the AiO's which means that the Bigger Blades ist just for the H20 movement and the Halo's are just for Normal Case or CPU use case

[@jhulenoscarantezanamendez6106]

The Illusion AIO comes with Halo's, so they are fine for AIO

[@dodysher]

I see you are obsessed with white :)) Not all fans white are beautiful, but these fans are extraordinary, and i'm very pleased you make them a presentation. I like how you present all of stuff. Ok, if you like so much white, please put youre hands on a Arctic P12 white and if you want blink blink (leds) put them some halos from phanteks, you will like them. P12 are very powerfull, quality and silent even at 1800 rpm. Nice presentation man, increase in work and much success in the future!

[@KosherTech]

White just shows better on camera thus improving your viewing experience

[@dodysher]

Yes, you are right. On camera are beautiful, but in real life are extraordinary. I have the black pieces and i love them. I like how you pronounce ”sliky flow” :))). Keep up the good work, I am keeping my eyes on you! :)

[@KosherTech]

Lol appreciate that bredrin 💯

[@aaronhumphrey7464]

will this work for the razer chroma arbg controller?

[@adambomb1017]

Did anyone have any issues with the screws included with these fans not really fitting very well in their case? For my case the flathead part of the screw is barely wide enough to hold the fan on the fan mounts without the screw from going through the mount holes on the case. My fans are all installed and holding on my Lian Li Dynamic Evo but I’m afraid they will come loose over time and the screw will slip through. Does anyone have any recommended alternative screws for these fans with a wider flathead?

[@nickgarcia1292]

Hey what about the masterplus software? I ordered 6 of the black fans and plan to use the hubs with masterplus software so I can control each individual led color. Hoping it works as I expect it to. I do have 2 argb headers but with the mb software you cant control the individual lights.. By far the best video for these fans it's great thank you

[@siccmike84]

Great video! Love the breakdown! Just to recap I bought 7 of these fans but 140MM. My motherboard is a MSI MEG Z490 GODLIKE. It does have compatibility to use the 3-Pin headers. Is it required to use a Hub. Also do you recommend using and cable splitters or just straight daisy chaining them since I have 7 fans. Love the content!

Either it's the camera or I don't really like how they look, i guess the build quality is nice, but idk it's kinda like a seethrough rgb fan, like you can see through them, this is what makes them so weird for me

[@angeltensey]

They look nice, the rgb is very smooth and pleasant, but they have quality issues that re inconsistent from fan to fan: defective (dead or flickering) leds, bad balancing, vibration and motor hum. Im considering buying more expensive Arctic argb fans just to get rid of problems.

However they do not work with Cooler Masters own MFY-RCSN-NNUDK-R1 RGB controller, like the one included in the Mirage 240 AIO. Not sure why, maybe something to do with mirage effect but only a hand full of Cooler Masters other fans do.
