Pure PLUS 12 RGB Fan

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a name brand rgb fans in 120mm size for my new Cooler Master Masterbox NR600 which could hold up to 6 120mm fans that was ARGB and compatible with older motherboards via the controller. Thermaltake Pure Plus 12 was the best choice for me after researching Rgb fans on youtube. I was looking at the uphere brand but a few factors ruled them out.Pros:- Adjustable Fan speeds from 500-1500rpm- Looking good while moving some air keeping my temps down.- Can adjust colors via software on the desktop or App.- Installation very easy and I like the fact that only one cable is needed to connect the fan to the controller. Long cables too.Cons:- Kinda pricey at $58 for 3 fans and a contollertwo sets of fans cost more than my new computer case at $69 LOL- Fans must be brought in packs of 3. I was looking to mix and match buy two 140mm for top exhaust.- App on the phone can not control fan speeds you have to manually do it from the desktop.- Some of the RGB effects doesn't sync properly even though two controllers are bridged together no way to have all 6 fans copy the master or first fan.- Molex Power connector for the controller lucky mines had 3 that came with my Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500w.But overall for the value of the Pure Plus 12 is pretty good compared to other 3pack fans from coolermaster or and the ring plus 12 premium edition. I might be bias as I dont like the ring plus 12 over the pure plus 12.

I'll start by saying I'm a Razer fan and been wanting the Thermaltake Riing Trios for a while now, but they NEVER go on sale. I've had them on my wish list for 7 months now. The reason I want thermaltake is because they sync with Razer Synapse 3. These Pure Plus sync with Razer and they look great. When I'm playing games like Apex Legends all the lights from my Razer peripherals and now Thermaltake fans sync up together. I also have the Lian Like O11 Dynamic Razer Edition case and Pacific Lumi light strips, which sync with Razer Synapse as well.The noise isn't noticable at all to me, but when I'm playing games my headset is on, so I wouldn't hear it anyway.As for Thermaltake's software, I don't have any problems with it. It controls my lighting effects when I don't have it synced to razer and allows me to choose a few fan speeds. Yes it could look better, but it gets the job done.

Fans are great for the price. They are quiet and have good air flow. The RGB LEDa are customizable with Thermaltakes own software, or they can be controlled with Aurasync. (Or other software.) However, you need an additional control from Thermaltake and a motherboard with a 5v output to have the LEDs controlled by Aurasync.Unfortunately I learned this after buying them, and a good motherboard with a 5v and a 12v rail costs nearly $300. A bit much for me, but the ThermalTake software is enough customization for now until motherboard prices go down.If you have the LEDs customized and put the computer in 'sleep' mode, when you wake up the computer, the color customization is lost and set to default and the fans stay at 1 speed. (Before sleep they will adjust speed depending on computer workload.)

This product is working, but only with one TT-controller (which can support up to 5 fans).If you connect two or more TT-controllers in series using the provided USB cables, the software works fine for 30 min to 1 hour and then, become unable to display the current fan speed and allow the user to change RGB pattern on the fans connected to all TT-controllers except for the TT-controller that is most distant from the USB connector on the motherboard. The reason for 3 TT-controllers is that one controls the RIING 360 SR4 CPU Cooler and the other two, 5 fans for the case, and the additional 3 fans for the push-pull configuration of the CPU Cooler.Interestingly, the TT RGB Plus software is not capable of syncing the 3+3 fans in a push-pull configuration (which can additionally drop the CPU temperature for 3-4 C, an excellent benefit, especially for AMD Thredripper CPUs that can dissipate 280 W or more with O.C./Boost Override).The TT support confirmed that my TT-controller serial connection is correct and suggested to file RMA to replace the faulty controllers. I tried to exchange the position of 3 TT-controllers in the USB serial chain, but always the last TT-controller in the chain was the only one that functions properly. It looks that the problem is rather with the software, not with the hardware of the TT-controllers.I'll try to run 3 TT-controllers connected to TT H200 Plus Internal USB Hub, with 3-Port USB 2.0 Header Outputs, and 3 External Type-A USB Ports (PS-ACC-IU2H00R-2). Perhaps, the current TT RGB Plus software is unable to resolve a single USB 2.0 header on the motherboard that carries 3 TT-controllers.
