Cooler Master Masterfan MF120 halo review

Coolermaster Masterfan MF120 Halo review
#mf120halo #coolermaster #coolermastermasterfanmf120halo
The coolermaster Masterfan MF120 Halo, Has a 9 blade design, It uses a rifle bearing, and this is an ARGB so addressable lighting this means it’s 5v not the usual 12v so before purchasing make sure your motherboard has the connector for it. Cooler master anyway provides with the product a wired RGB controller that will allow also those who don’t have ARGB motherboard support, to use the rgb lighting of these fans, the modes will have to be manually switched by pressing on the button of this rgb controller provided with the product.
We can’t really complain about this product: it comes at great price, you are basically paying less than 18$ per fan, it has top performances at this price range and the RGB implementation is basically impressive with great diffusion and non distracting lighting. I also appreciate the secure connection clips provided with these fans and the daisy chain connectivity. This fan is recommended especially for radiators due to its great airflow and air pressure performances, it easily beats the Corsair QL 120 for example or other rgb fans at similar price.
It has a fan speed of 650 ~1800 RPM
Airflow (CFM) 47.2
Air Pressure (mmH2O) 1.60
Fan Noise Level (dBA) 6~30dBA
Dimensions (mm) 120 x 120 x 25
Cooler master declares these fans make use of a Silent Cooling Technology which is a Mixture of Noise Reduction Technology and Sound Absorbing Materials Offering quiet Cooling Solution Even When Under Load.
I’ll be mounting these fans on a 360mm radiator so stay tuned and subscribe for more videos.

[@fgtechtips]

Hey thanks, you can see my video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIq9pJh8br1mirs but basically you connect the led strip or your fans to the argb connector of your motherboard or an argb splitter as in my video and you control the lights via your motherboard software. That's it ;)

[@thatbig1]

They look better with the sticker removed from the center 😉

nice video youre the only one who reviewed it properly!

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you!

[@albertreblax]

Thanks for this! My motherboard only has RGB header so i guess this will work even without ARGB header.

[@fgtechtips]

Yes but you can't connect the lighting to the motherboard, you need to use the k reheated light controller via sata power

[@GeorgeDrizos]

@@fgtechtips great video! My only complain is that the lighting modes of the controller are very simple andittle in number. I own a tomahawk b450 with mystic light but it hasn't argb but only 12v rgb connector. So I can't use the effects. I wonder if I use a rgb to argb convertor...

[@fgtechtips]

Hi thanks, you are right the lighting modes of the integrated controller are very limited but it's anyway good they included it. In order to get the best you need an argb motherboard in order to control them fully. There is no rgb to argb converter as I know, what you could do is to install a separate argb controller where the fans will be connected to

[@djpinkie507]

I have 2 of these cooler master masterfan mf120 halo and I have them with the argb cooler master A1 controller but I don't know what happens because the master plus program does not detect it even though it is connected to the 2.0 USB port of the board for now it is only in a single mode, literally the rainbow mode, which is the default mode as soon as you connect the controller with the masterfan mf120 halo

[@sdliddo]

I know you get asked these a lot but I wanted to just be sure. Buying a Lian Li O11DXL-X O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified (Black) ATX Full Tower Case and a ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming (AM4) Motherboard. Based on the info on asus site, it says it has only 2 x Aura RGB Strip Header(s). These are the ones that lets the mobo control the LEDs on the Fans right. Given that I can daisy chain the LEDs on these fans, I am wondering if i can daisy chain all the fans into 2 sets and plug them to these 2 headers? Likely gonna need 10 fans.

[@fgtechtips]

Hi there would be the possibility of doing that but I am not sure it can handle the lighting power for 2 kits (6 fans on one argb motherboard header), you could buy an aura sync splitter 1 to 10 like the one I show in this video for less than 10 bucks kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIq9pJh8br1mirs

[@omfgximjustin]

Thanks! that answered a bunch of questions I had about these

[@fgtechtips]

happy my video helped you !

[@sabbiruddin3938]

Okay, so I'm guessing you can do the daisy chain method and the fan splitter to after connecting them all, have one connector for the PWM 4 pin go into one of the systemfan headers and the daisy chained argb connectors to one connector into the argb header on the motherboard?

[@fgtechtips]

Argb Is daisy chained and only 1 connector goes to the motherboard (in my video you will see an argb splitter being used but that's the same) As you can see in the video the fan power is connected simply by using the provided splitter

[@freazyknight]

Good video but Choose a better background music and decrease the sound enough for you to talk through it instead of cutting it and returning it every time you talk. Will upvote you for the information thanks.

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you!

[@paulab18r]

if the controller was removed, are all fans working as PWM and ARGB , connected in one PWM header and one ARGB header only?

[@fgtechtips]

I'd you don't connect the arGB and don't connect the controller it means you only connect the fan connector to the motherboard so the 3 fans would work but without any light

[@robertweekes5783]

Your case is insane bro !! 🤩

[@fgtechtips]

thanks !

[@fishy2571]

Yo so i have a question do you have some program on the pc so you can change the modes without opening the pc and pressing the button on the fans

[@fgtechtips]

Hi did you see the end of the video? I show how to manage the fans without controller and using the motherboard software. Your motherboard has to have 5v led in that case

[@edmarsouza4811]

Hi! Great video! This helped me a lot installing the fans on my system. The only problem I had was with controling the RGB from the fans. It just didn't work, no software detected the fans in my system. Did you have this problem? would it be fixed if I bught a fan hub?

[@fgtechtips]

The fans should work in your software just like a led strip even if they won't probably show up as fans

[@bar2lounge923]

Hey ! I have no argb on my motherboard so im gonna use that controller but it looks quite limited in terms of lighting modes in the video. Here is my question can we use controller for more lighting modes like not just clicking, holding the button or double click on it?

[@robertweekes5783]

These fans are so sick. 😷🤕😝 There are adapters (PirateDog Tech) to pair these lights with other software like Corsair iCue, it’s tricky if the # of LEDs are not the same as a corsair fan though. Could just use 2 different softwares I suppose ?

[@fgtechtips]

the number of LEDs shouldn't matter, i am now using the mobo software for 3 fans + aRGB pump + aRGB wb + SSD aRGB heatsink, aRGB led bar

[@debatebore1057]

I just bought 4 packs of these for my Lian Li Mesh II case. I want to connect 11 fans, but my Aorus Z490 Elite mobo has only 2x 3-pin argb headers. Im not seeing how to daisy chain 11 of these fans together with only 2 argb headers on the mobo. Any ideas?

[@fgtechtips]

An argb splitter as i show in my video ?

[@debatebore1057]

@@fgtechtips I saw what you used and was hoping to avoid a hub. Appreciate the quick reply.

[@debatebore1057]

@@fgtechtips Follow-up - it appears that if I want to connect 11 fans that I also need 4 4-pin fan headers on the mobo, right? EDIT - I think I have it figured out, I have 3x Sys_Fan 4-pin headers and 1x CPU_Fan 4-pin header that are open (my water cooler uses CPU_OPT. So, I have 4 4-pin headers and I can set the same or varying fan curves in BIOS or in a 3rd party app. I think...lol

[@fgtechtips]

I didn't try to daisy chain the argb connector of more than 3 of these fans but it should be possible, so you connect 6x fans (2packs) on one motherboard connector and the other 6 to the second argb connector on your motherboard

[@Mitchy_Witchy]

Hey Man! Nice video! Is there the same RGB ring on the rear side of the fan? I'm curious because I plan on mounting these at the front of my sons new PC as intake and it has no front glass/mesh so it would be a waste to buy these pretty fans however if the RGB ring is on both sides of the fan we'd still see it through the side window. Thanks!

​@@fgtechtips Hello Friend. Thank you for your quick answer. I'm Brazilian and I don't have perfect English, so I didn't understand what you were saying much. A suggestion I saw on another site.

@@fgtechtips Yeah sorry im dumb

[@fgtechtips]

@@ezra8308 so, as i explain in the video you can use the controller provided with the fans. That one goes via Sata so it can be used by anyone

[@DyeLwG]

Are they generally good? I need efficient and beautiful fans, but I'm still in doubt about their performance, they have a low number of CFM

[@tejasparab2389]

Can we set different colour on fan led and different on ring led? Do we able to see led hot spot? I hate them Which one should I buy? These mf120 halo or deepcool cf120 plus?

[@fgtechtips]

No you can't. What do you mean by led hit spot

[@tejasparab2389]

@@fgtechtips I mean, in some fans the light of led spreads evenly so we can't see the led spots. I love these type of fans. Example :- when we stick our RGB strip close to wall, we see each led light on wall. Those light fall on perticular area. They are called hot spot. And if we keep RGB strip little bit away from the wall, the light spreads evenly on the wall. At 9:48 we can able to see led hot spot on you rear exhaust fan. I hate those light spots.

[@tejasparab2389]

And....can we atleast turn off the fan lights and keep the ring light on?

[@fgtechtips]

No as said they always go together and the fans are made in a way to have light diffusion so much better than the old fans where you had "spot light mode"

[@shorturlat6859]

Good video

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you man !

[@ianmulyadi5065]

can the fans fit any medium tower case such as lianli lancool ii?

[@fgtechtips]

These are standard 120mm fans so if your case supports them, you are fine

[@shooterfps1708]

I want to use two kits of this with 6 fans, but I want a controller with remote control. Someone points me to a controller. use the motherboard b450 steel legends will be compatible with the software of this motherboard?

[@dehfunnykid]

I want these fans so bad but they’re sold out everywhere :(

they are quite cheap and powerful also so good looking !

@DeadlyWolfGames story of my life

[@juanrocha2391]

Do you have to daisy chain the 4 pin power connectors on all three fans to get them to spin?

[@fgtechtips]

Hi, no. in the first few minutes of my video you can see that the RGB 3 pin is the one connected in daisy chain, the power is connected and provided by the included splitter

[@vaquero6624]

Great video and review, just the music a little bit too loud, greetings from Mexico!!

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you man! Yes I fixed the audio in my other videos

[@XTR3MEGAMINGYT]

how would I connect up to 7 fans and have all rgb light sync together?

[@stew880]

will this work with asrock b450m pro4? how many argb fan headers are on that matx board?

[@fgtechtips]

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes the b450m pro4 has support for both 1x RGB and 1x ARGB header, so you can use these fans at their maximum potential in ARGB mode !

[@Justdigit2]

They are exactly the same as diy ez fab fans to be found on Amazon. Great fans btw

[@fgtechtips]

No they are different , also from appearance you can immediately see a huge difference...they have no inner circle lighting

[@fgtechtips]

Oh yes this model is very similar....still they provide much less performance compared to coolermaster: 1300rpm Vs 1800, 26.16 cfm Vs 47.2, 0.89 air pressure Vs 1.6. so huge difference

[@luisramos3917]

Can I daisy chain more than 3 fans? Wilçl the RGB still work?

[@fgtechtips]

I didn't try it but it should be possible. Easiest thing would be anyway to use an argb splitter as the one I use in the video

[@mrmystery8660]

Hi, this is a nice review :) I would like to buy these. But do they run with the RGB 2.0 software (Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO motherboard)? Thanx in advance!

[@fgtechtips]

Yes thank you! of course they do, they work with all argb capable motherboards and their software. So also your rgb fusion 2.0 software will be fine

[@mrmystery8660]

[@Ewanbridges]

Are they noisy

[@fgtechtips]

They are 30db at maximum speed but I have curves and liquid loop so it's all silent

[@fgtechtips]

Not too much, see about minute 6 here, I didn't put too much effort in it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIq9pJh8br1mirs easier than ordinary 3 fans aRGB since these are connected in daisy chain so much less effort

[@jamnscn]

Hi, I'm going to buy this fan tomorrow. The problem is the seller doesn't have the x3 pack, so I'll end up buying 3 Solo Fan. Will it still work and play with the RGB's lightings without those remotes and splitters? Thanks

[@jamnscn]

I have a Msi x570 Gaming Edge WiFi mobo

[@fgtechtips]

yes It will work just fine, splitters are just to use 3 fans and attach them to one single port on the motherboard . the rgb controller is useless for you since your motherboard already supports argb

[@jamnscn]

@@fgtechtips Thank you so much! Be safe

[@gamemodenl2004]

thanks man, I had this exact same question, but because in my country the 3 fans solo are cheaper than the 3in1 pack, And I have the exact same mobo to

[@Tosti_bakker]

Hey man, thanks for the video! Could I use this with a motherboard that doesn't have a ARGB header? I'm giving my old motherboard that doesn't have it (MSI H97 PC Mate) to a friend, and she wants to have RGB fans in it. Can I just tape the control box on the outside and control the lights that way?

[@fgtechtips]

Thank you! Sure you can but you can't connect the fans to the motherboard you need to use the integrated controller

[@nerijus01]

is it possible to control the brightness via the motherboard software?

[@fgtechtips]

Yes

[@kgclp5543]

Is this compatible? New to pc. Already have Storage. -amd ryzen 5 3600 -trident z 2x8GB 3600 MHz -coolermaster MWE bronze V2 550W -MSI B450-A Pro Max ATX -ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 580 8GB -Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Halo

[@fgtechtips]

That motherboard is a bit older and basic so only supports 12v rgb, there is no connector for argb 5v so yes you can use the fans but you will just have basic lighting effects trough the integrated controller

[@markkoltsov4579]

Nice video, it seems my motherboard Gigabyte Z370 HD3 does not have an ARGB controller, just 12v, but it seems it possible to control it with soft masterplus+, please, can you check or confirm this information if it possible?

[@fgtechtips]

If you have no argb you can use the integrated controller

[@shortage1234]

The PWM splitter has 2 black 3-pin connectors and 1 red 4-pin connectors, do you know the difference or reason?

[@fgtechtips]

I have connected the brown one to the motherboard and the black ones connecting the fans in daisy chain. You can see how it looks in my thermaltake a500 review

Does everything you show is included? And if I have Gigabyte b450m ds3h would work?

[@nathanjefferies53]

How bout show the cable connection dont just skip to now they are all connected

[@fgtechtips]

Connection to the motherboard is obvious so I didn't think people would be interested. You just insert the 3 pin argb into the 3 pin argb motherboard. As I mentioned in the video I am anyway using an argb splitter for which I show the image and linked it into the video description

[@samsonold5607]

Can you control the speed of these fans?

[@korinarhon]

Will it work on gigabyte h310m H 2.0? Btw, nice vid 👍🏼

[@fgtechtips]

@@Mike-nr3fz the mag b550 has 2 argb connectors so you could buy 2kits of 3 mf120 halo fans, so you would have 6 fans in full ARGB mode. Your motherboard also have 2 rgb connectors on top of that .

hello I bought the MASTERFAN MF120R ARGB 3IN1 model and unfortunately they are very noisy even at low rpm the fans always emit that annoying helicopter sound ... I would like to know if this model also makes the same identical noise or is it silent? thx

[@fgtechtips]

that's a different model than the one I reviewed. yours is more noisy and goes up to 2000 rpm while the mf120 halo reach max 1800. they are extremely silent in my opinion

if you wanted to, could you just connect these to a 3pin 5v adressable port on your motherboard?

Yes you can. In the video i explain that my 5v port on the motherboard is already busy that's why I explain that in the video i used a 10 to 1 Argb splitter
