Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB Sync Fans Review

Performance
Installing the fans is easy enough, they’re fans as you might expect, and four screws or similar mounts will allow you to add them to your PC case, AIO coolers, air coolers, and similar hardware.
Again, buying the right version for your needs is important, you’ll want standard fans for some sections of your case. However, reverse fans for exhausting air or for internal PSU shroud mounts.
But what really stands out here, is the ARGB lighting. They’re built to be great quality fans in terms of performance, but there’s obviously a strong focus on aesthetics here.
For adding colour to your PC build, the ARGB Sync obviously look fantastic and they’re compatible with ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and other popular motherboard and interfaces for lighting control, or your own compatible ARGB hub controllers.
When it comes to airflow, the fans can run as low as 500 RPM for ultra-low quiet performance, obviously they’ll move less airflow at 500RPM, but it’s good to have such a quiet mode available on these fans.
However, they can be pushed up as high as 2000 RPM, which is pretty swift, and if you need massive airflow, you certainly have that option.
Of course, I suspect most users will setup a modest PWM curve that leans a bit more toward quieter performance, and as if the case with most fans, there’s a sweet spot at around 60-70% PWM where you’re going to get great airflow, without there being too much noise. Of course, factors such as the size and shape, and overall design of your case will impact that too.
