About this item:
  • Automatic speed control of the motherboard through the 4PIN PWM fan cable interface, which can determine the speed according to the temperature of the motherboard, with a maximum speed of 1550RPM. Configured with up to 55cm of cable for PWM series control of fans, ideal for cases and CPU coolers.
  • The carefully developed quality S-FDB bearings solve the problem of pc cooling fan blade shaking in lifting mode, keeping fan noise to a minimum while providing maximum cooling performance when needed and extending the life of the fan.
  • The case fan is equipped with four soft material silicone corner pads on all four sides, which can reduce the vibration and friction caused by the rotation of the fan, perfectly reducing noise and allowing low noise operation, so that cooling can be carried out in low noise.
  • Model: TL-C12C X3, Size: 120*120*25mm, Speed: 1550RPM±10%, Noise ≤ 25.6dBA Connector: 4pin pwm, Current: 0.20A, Air Pressure: 1.53mm H2O, Air Flow: 66.17CFM, Higher air flow for improved cooling performance.

3 good fans for $14? PMW, ARGB, and even vibration insulation. TR makes the best bang for buck air cooler right now. So I'm getting these. 9 for a large case. corsair fans would set you back a kidney.

This is the regular price. I have 2 sets in a tower 500 and look and work great for the price.
I ordered three black a few weeks ago. One of the fans was received cracked. I contacted the mfg through amazon, provided a pic, and all the customer service requested was my address. Had a replacement the next day.

One of the installed fans had a bit of a rattle that went away and stayed away after a few taps. I plan on buying more, if not only because they painlessly stand behind their product and I know if it's not right, they'll make it right. Not the quietest of fans, but I haven't tried controlling their speed. They look great.
Yep, they have been this price since December. Before that they were $14. Not sure why this is popping up as a Slickdeal when it's the regular every day price.

Decent fans...I have the older version as case fans and running at constant 50%(3) intake and 50% exit (1 fan) align with a 360 rad combo (exit) from deepcool. The radiator at 90% constant is more loud in my lancool 216

I had the exact same thing happen a few months ago, customer support was friendly and responded surprisingly quickly

This fan gives you the best bang for the buck for an ARGB fan according to Hardware Canucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9...TM&t=1489s

I went with the TL-S12-S [amazon.com]120mm ARGB with a lighted ring. Put them in the front case of my NZXT h7 flow and they look high end (it that is such a thing).

I have been through over 30 of these fans so far in various builds. I will say they are decent for the money with a few caveats.

Don't expect to see good diffusion of the LED's. From any angle except straight on you can see each individual LED quite clearly. Also low LED count (both to be expected at this price point) but still put out a decent amount of light.

They move a good amount of air at 66 CFM but don't have the static pressure to match at 1.53, so marginal for use in spaces with limited airflow or for rad's. Even though these are the fans used on their highly rated for the price air coolers so go figure.

The biggest issue I have seen with them though is that the magnets on some are not strong enough to keep fan centered on the hub resulting in the blades edges occasionally hitting the frames from the wobble it creates when starting up or when a rapid change in RPM occurs. This can be mitigated or eliminated sometimes by tweaking the frame and tightening one or two of the mounting screws more than the other ones.I would also recommend installing them by hand without using a power driver as the screw holes are slightly oversized and can strip without much effort.

Overall still a good budget buy as long as you know what to expect before hand.

I bought these after buying a thermal take 3 fan assembly realizing that these integrated perfectly with my fan controller that is built into my case connected to the motherboard. That thermaltake was garbage, had to have a separate controller, software for controlling lighting and fan speed, get these, you'll be happy with them.

I wish they made a high-RPM ARGB fan (2500-3000 RPM). Would be great to keep my CPU cool in a high workload situation. 1600 RPM isn't gonna cut it for dissipating large amounts of heat from a CPU heatskink.

I listed them because they are a good value for this product category. Not alot of people are aware of this product. What do you want three fans for less than $10?

These fans look good and I love their air coolers but I can't understand the stupid new craze to fill a PC with 8-12 120mm fans where more than 1/2 are of no use and just throwing $ down the drain and could potentially be making thermals worse! I rather have 5x 140mm fans (3 in/2 out) than 100x 120mm fans!
