Truth smack on cheap RGB Fans
Don't let the AMAZING amount of biased info you've been getting against the cheap Coolman RGB fans. They are NOT manufactured by some fly by night company that is gonna disappear tomorrow. It seems that you got alot of answers from NAME BRAND fanboys. In actual terms the Coolman RGB fans are manufactured by a subsidiary of SUNON corp. SUNON has been making case fans since the 1980s. If you've bought In-Win, ChenMing, or Enlight cases the stock fans were made by SUNON. Back in the 1980s and 1990's they made the case fans for a little brand known as IBM, you might have heard of them. The also made case fans for Atari and Amiga 16/32 bit computers. SUNON has made nearly 80% of all factory case fans worldwide as a subcontractor or OEM.
As for the Coolman fans, they are Not the worst fans made like some of these posters have stated. They are Hydro bearing fans rated at 33-38 CFM ( depending on model ) at 1800rpm. While they aren't rated as Static pressure fans they do surprisingly well with AIOs, outflowing the stock fans on some Enermax, LEPA, Antec, Thermaltake, NZXT, and Cooler Master units.The Static pressure flow is 1.1-1.8mm-H2O (again depending on the model) at 1800 rpm.
And before the fanboys get their panties in a bunch over the brands I listed for AIOs, do your homework first. ALL of the AIO brands I listed are actually made by Asetek, Swiftech or Apaltek then SHIPPED to the companies listed so they can place THEIR names on them.
I actually installed the 3-pack Coolman 120mm RGB Double Ring kit with controller/hub into my Thermaltake Level 10 GT. Two of the 120mm fans were used to replace the stock fans on my modded (extra reservoir) LEPA Exllusion240 AIO. The third was used as the bottom case draw fan forward of the PSU. I wired a Corsair LL 140mm at the rear and a BitFenix Spectre Pro RGB 200mm at the front to cover my RAID array, into the Coolman Hub while the PWM is controlled by my Mobo. All of the fans are now synced to each other and controlled via the Coolman Hub. Both the Corsair and the BitFenix were required as Coolman only sells 120mm fans currently.
SUNON's subsidiary operation sells nearly the same RGB fan kits under the Coolman Sunshine, S Skyee, XigMatek CY120, Alseye, AsiaHorse, UpHere, and the AIGO Z series brands
