Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 Fan Kit Review

Packaging and Accessories
So, being a fan kit, this clearly has a fair bit going on inside the packaging. So, let’s take a closer look and see how the Thermaltake Riing Quad presents itself!
Exterior Packaging – Front
The front packaging carries that very distinctive colouring that has become well associated with the Thermaltake brand. You are given all of the main features at a glance as well as a nice clear view of one of these fans in action!
Exterior Packaging – Rear
The rear is absolutely jam-packed full of details. You are literally told everything they possibly could with the space they had, and trust me, there’s a lot more on top of this too!
The Fans
The Thermaltake Riing Quad kit supplies you with three fans. As such, this should be more than enough be that you choose to use them on your chassis or as part of an upgrade to your AIO.
The fans provided at the Thermaltake TT-1225 design, albeit, coming with some extension RGB bells and whistles. We are, however, well familiar with this fan design as a whole and have never failed to be impressed with its performance.
With this particular version of the Riing Quad kit, our fans are supplied in a bright white colour. While black is also available, I think that out of the two, I prefer these. I mean, they just look absolutely amazing just sat next to one another. They do, however, get taken to a whole new level when the RGB is turned on. More on that shortly!
Accessories
Out of the box, the accessories included with the Thermaltake Riing Quad fan kit are as follows:
- Molex adaptor
- Motherboard ARGB connector
- Thermaltake designed control hub
- Screws to mount the fans (be it on the chassis or a radiator)
- Warranty booklet
- Product instruction manual
While the product manual is more than detailed enough to help you fit these fans, we do fall into a couple of small criticisms here. Firstly, for a fan kit as expensive as this one is, it feels a little cheap. Secondly, it had literally been crammed into the accessory box. Hence the semi-crumpled appearance in our photographs.
In terms of what you get, however, Thermaltake has supplied you with everything you could possibly need and more!
HUB Controller
The hub controller is surprisingly light, but don’t let that fool you. Despite its lack of weight, it both feels and looks remarkably well made.
Coming with 7 RGB ports, you can easily hook up the three fans supplied with this kit while also having room to install a further 4 up to the main control hub. Albeit, we’re not entirely certain how this would work with non-Thermaltake branded products (in terms of the software/customizable control).
With the logo embossed into the top surface, it looks very nice and would easily locate within any normal chassis design. Enough talk about how this looks with the lights off though. It’s time to plug it in, turn them on and see exactly what we’re really dealing with here!
