> 3 dayI literally was able to slow the fans down. Once. And change the color. Once. The controller stopped working after that, leaving me with three fans that are stuck on a color I do not like and running at a speed I do not want. Pissed.

> 3 dayI installed the GiM ARGB fans on my black slate rig and the first thing I noticed was how incredibly bright they were. I mean super BRIGHT. They literally cancelled out my other LED peripherals. Even the white led ASUS logo on my motherboard, didnt look like it was turned on anymore. lol. Bright. The Good. Thankfully with the remote, I was able to lower the brightness to match the rest of my LED lights inside my case. The fans feel quite durable. I expected the housing to feel flimsy, but they didnt. Rubber pads on both sides to reduce vibration noise, etc. Do they push air? Yep. Quite well too. They seem to be static pressure blades, so they are be good for radiators. The bad. The colors and light modes on this set is actually quite limited, which is a bummer. Theres no way to set it to pink or a certain blue, purple, etc. Youd have to rely on using the included header cable to connect it to your motherboards ARGB header and use a software to mess with them. This doesnt seem too bad, except I really wanted these to be exclusive to their own hub, so my Asus logo can remain a specific color. No biggie I guess. The fans do make noise. Definitely more noise than Be-Quiet and Noctua fans. I have an off brand fan that is much less noisy than these. So again, I had to use the remote to lower the speed significantly to reduce noise, however, once you get them silent, they barely push any air out of the exhaust. So I have to deal with some audible noise now at mid range speed. On high, they sound like turbines. The UGLY These fans use special plugs, not any standard fan uses. I thought these would come with two different types of connectors. One for the fan and one for ARGB. But because they use an unusual 6 pin connector, designed specifically for the little hub, if that thing ever stops working for whatever reason, you cannot use these fans anymore unless you buy a new GiM specific hub. Also...if youre a full tower builder, you may have some issues with the 20 inch cables on the fans. Seems long at first, but if you want real neat cable management, it would have been nice if they added an addition 4 inches to them, so theres no stress put on them. They do not sell extension cables for these things because they use unusual connectors.. So...the GiM hub with the shoddy sticker label (mine turned out with blurry text) is very important for these fans to work right. If you only need to use 2 of these and think oh, Ill give this 3rd one to my friend, forget it. Unless he has a GiM ARGB hub, it wont work. You cant even use these with any other 3rd party hubs out there. Lastly...keep something in mind. If you plan to use the light functions with the remote, but you have a set of strips by a third party that also uses a remote, you will see some frustrating interference. Change the fan lights to red and watch your strips go rainbow on you. The only way to get around this, - while still using the remotes -, is by setting the color of the fans first, then unplug the sata power cable to them for a minute and then proceed to change the color of your strips. Then once youre happy with it, reconnect the the plug in to the GiM fans. The fans will return to the last color setting or effect you applied. Lame. But I see no other way aside again, tossing the remote aside and pluging the header to your motherboard (if it has one) and use a software to mess with the lights. All in all, these fans are ok. They work. They push air. If you dont have any additional strips in your rig or dont mind adding those to your GiM hub and have all lights be the same color (I like using 2 tones, like red and white, etc) and just intend on using these to light up your life, then you wont have much to worry about. Theyre cheap in price and they do look nice. I will update my review if these should break down or make nasty bearing noises.

> 3 dayFans look great and the hub syncs fine with my motherboard. Included controller works well and its nice being able to control fan speed and have the option to turn off lighting.

Greater than one weekI would definitely recommend getting this case if youre looking for a micro atx! It has great airflow with the ability to place 9 fans and the vents are easy to remove. Its sturdy and has a nice sleek look to it. They also have padded screws to protect the glass that I really like. Very nice case for the price!

> 3 dayThis product is such a good gift for anyone with a PC. The product is not expensive at all while giving amazing results. I helped my friend put this together and his computer looks amazing. Easy to control with the remote, even at max fan speeds sounds are not loud at all.

> 3 dayShort case, but VERY wide, continuing the trend of more and more space for routing cables and neating things up. If youve built computers from way back, like I have, youll appreciate the extra room that wide cases and modular power supplies offer. This case is good for those who wish to customize, as theres not much here other than the case and cables needed for the power switch, USB, etc. There are no fans included or any other accessories of any sort, and like others have mentioned, no instruction manual, but true PC builder geeks wont need that anyway, and thats the target for this type of case (I assume). Negatives? If you like to add a lot of accessories, a full tower case would be better, and some of the internal hookup and mounting positions are not traditional, so if that bothers you, this may not be your ideal case. Tempered glass, while cool looking, is obviously not as durable as plexiglass or metal, so this is probably not a case to move around a lot. If you read up, study, and know what youre getting, this is a fine, fairly basic case for what it is, so... For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five Stars I am the Totally Unbiased Reviewer Dude (T.U.R.D.) and that is how I see it.

> 3 dayLooks like all of these fans have some issues, the first set I ordered did some annoying clicking sounds on slower speed, this set doesn’t hold settings, every time I start pc I need to adjust fan speed again as it always starts on highest speed

> 3 dayVery easy to install connect to fan hub and airflow is great. Noise levels arent an issue, they are rather quiet. I would happily buy them again for anther build.
