00:33 Thank you Mike! 🙏🏼👍🏼🤗 I know you uploaded this one a while back, but you *just* saved me from making a very costly mistake. 😌 You're an ace. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@mikesunboxing]

Happy to help! the RGB / ARGB thing is confusing

[@MikeBob2023]

@@mikesunboxing I _almost_ bought the version with the proprietary connectors, and I don't like using those (only fans that use 3 pin 5V ARGB + 4 pin PWM connectors!) I'm really glad I checked with you before placing the order. 🤗🤗🤗 Cheers!

[@uglybob7505]

At this price point its going to be difficult to beat for this level of functionality and performance. Yeah they may have borrowed some design elements from other manufacturers but if they are coming in cheaper with equal performance then who are we as consumers to complain ? Thanks Mike and Kath.

[@mikesunboxing]

very true, although i wonder what TT will say when someone does the same to them

[@thermaltakeuk]

We borrowed nothing from anyone,these are our own design of magnetic connection.we have just designed a newer magforce design.this is on our new Toughfan EX PRO fans

[@Games_and_Tech]

​@@thermaltakeuk any pln to update the swapable blade magnetic connector?

[@Senrab46]

Great connectivity both to each other fan and simplified cabling! Perfect for show case pc Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath 🐈👍

[@rickh8380]

Yes they are awesome, however...they are WAY too expensive for my shallow pockets. Thanks for sharing Mike and Lady Kath. Take care everyone. Cheers

I'm already in with Tt, I have the TH420 ARGB V2 Ultra AIO but NOT the Tt hub. This is an interesting hybrid w/ARGB connection allowing me to buy the hub in the future if I want...neat!

[@OlettaLiano]

Looks good, Mike. Feel free to send me 12 of the black EX14 fans. 😂 Um, the "cheaper version" is still almost $90. That means If I buy enough fans for my case they will cost twice as much as my C750 case.

[@AoABlodhgarm]

I am 100% going to put 12 of these in the new tower 600 when it comes out next month.

[@mikesunboxing]

Nice! Send pics to discord when you’re done

[@danmar007]

Nice tech, but man are these expensive. To paraphrase an old joke (or two): “I had to sell my case to buy SWAFANs" :-)

[@OlettaLiano]

I know. TT CTE C750 Air case, $170. TT Fans for said case, $350. 😱

[@thermaltakeuk]

Great review Mike ,thanks

[@mikesunboxing]

No problem. Makes it easy with a very nice product, most of the work is done for me

Very nice, but going to wait for Sahara Gaming ones..

@@mikesunboxing The main reason is the price..

[@thermaltakeuk]

Thanks for the uk buy link

[@lucaargento9552]

do you try lianli sl120? What do you think, which is better thermaltake or lianli? in terms of aesthetic, brightness, colors, integration, flow... I have to decide between this two, at the end i have to connect 2 strips led ezidy fab ARGB, RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO, and the fan, 1 connector argb on mobo, and to have same effect i think to use Aura, so fan should be compatible with AURA Sync. Suggestion?

[@mikesunboxing]

get these, if you use lianli you have to use their software

[@lucaargento9552]

@@mikesunboxing Thanks Mike! and if i use its controller, im able to connect ezdiy strip led? should work and sync all with aura sync?

[@mikesunboxing]

@ you would be using the motherboard’s controller for the swafans so you might need a cheap hub or splitter if you need more ports for extra argb strips

[@adecann]

Question, the ARGB Sync have a Z connector as a pass through. Can I chain the RGB header connection to each other and only use 1 rgb header connection on the mother board for all 10 fans ?

[@mikesunboxing]

not sure, and i don't think there is a header on any board that can power that many argbs without damage

[@f4b1n]

How would be the rear, front and bottom fans interconnection in this particular kit? Is it possible to daisy chain them through the cables, so I can interconnect rear, upper, bottom and front fans together using only one last cable into the motherboard? I'm planning to use 6 of these fans and my mobo has only one ARGB socket. I didn't see anything about it in any of the videos of this kit on KZbin, please help me. Thank you!

[@mikesunboxing]

there are 3 magnetic connections in the box one for each fan if needed, or use the linked together the choice is yours

[@f4b1n]

@@mikesunboxing Yeah, I've seen it, but can these magnetic connections be attached from one fan to another fan?

[@CaptainCola00]

Thank you for the information! What software are you using to control rgb? And are you using a hub?

[@mikesunboxing]

i use the motherboard software for the board so msi mystic light and a hub is useful if you have more fans than ports, although the daisy chain nature of these fans sort of helps with that

[@benc-uw9jg]

I went from mobo lighting to this ali express remote control argb lighting with a USB. Then I modded it and put a 3 pin argb splitter on it now it works on my PC and with my non PC 3 pin argb strip and had way more functionality then the mobo argb software and the asrock PC software. Maybe look into that guys. If you can solder. Maybe they make PC compatible ones now i haven't looked.

[@madmaori4951]

Hi Mike I have swafan argb 140mm x 3 and swafan rgb ex 120mm x 3 fans with hub I have connected the argb fans with the spare connections you get with rgb versions and they have synced up with fan control and rgb sync but is it OK to use like this and also I have 120mm versions connected to my Aio is it OK to use software to control the cpu temps

[@mikesunboxing]

yes the fans can be used on the other system if you change the cables

[@madmaori4951]

I am using the argb version without the pwm and 3 pin rgb cable you plug into the motherboard I am using the cable from the the fan to the hub the cable that came with the rgb version is this ok

[@TheTboy007]

I thought I messed up because the fans weren't spinning and I had rhe connector on the bottom of my aio radiator and I couldn't reach it easily. I installed it on the top and jiggled it until I saw the fans light up

[@mikesunboxing]

glad you got there in the end!

[@gasbagios4041]

OK, treat me gently but built my first PC self build at Christmas, phase 2 is swapping out the cheap noisy fans which came with the case and also i want to reduce cable clutter. These fans seem good value compared to the Corsair ICUE Link fans, any recommendations? PS - great video as always

[@mikesunboxing]

these are a good choice if you don't want to get locked into a specific RGB ecosystem. There are many options on the market with pros and cons. These for me tick a lot of boxes and lots of potential mounting options. But that comes at a price

[@hiamwendy5555]

is it possible if I can use the software to connect my ARGB fans still? I have one RGB and the thermaltake hub but the 3 pins to the ARGB fans do not connect

[@mikesunboxing]

there is a thermaltake ARGB sync adapter to do that

[@mikesunboxing]

@@jonifond64 sorry what is it you are trying to do, i am a little confused, if you have the same fans as in the video you just need a ARGB hub if that is what you are asking

[@jonifond64]

@@mikesunboxing I have the thermaltake ARGB fans. It has the connectors of 3 pin argb connection and a 4 pin pwm connection. On the TT sync, it only has a 9 pin male connection. There is no way to connect the argb 3/4 pin to the thermaltake sync controller for the pins do not connect. It is somewhat hard to explain. My question is, when you said that the cords are interchangeable, are you using the rgb fan cords to connect the argb fans to the tt sync?

[@mikesunboxing]

@@jonifond64 okay i think i understand. if you have the fans with the 3 pin argb and pwm you don't need the controller, the fans are controlled via the motherboard, if you want more ports then you need a more basic argb hub not a controller

Try a ali express argb controller with remote and solder a 3 pin splitter for PC argb on it.
