Thermaltake CT120 ARGB Sync PC Fan Review

Performance

The Thermaltake CT120 ARGB fans are going to be broadly compatible with a huge number of cases. They have an industry standard size of 120 x 120mm with a depth of 25mm, so basically the same as the fans that come in almost all PC cases or on CPU coolers and radiators. The fans are PWM controlled and capable of running from 500 RPM up to a maximum of 2000 RPM. However, they’ll need at least a 5V starting voltage for the 500 RPM and will operate at their full speed with a 12V input.

In terms of airflow, Thermaltake claims they’re capable of a maximum of 2.23 mm-H2O air pressure and an airflow of 57.05 CFM while maintaining its noise level at 25.8 dbA.

ARGB Lighting

Featuring 9 addressable LEDs in each fan, and being able to daily chain the cables, setup is pretty easy on these fans, and the Thermaltake’s TT RGB Plus software is relatively easy to set up too. You can create lighting effects through your motherboard software too. The CT Series ARGB Fans now support ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, BIOSTAR, and ASROCK sync software.
