AVOID if you want RGB. The software is HORRIBLE. They break something every update they roll out. Just get Corsair fans if you can afford them, their software actually works.

Every single update that Cooler Master rolls out for their software and firmware creates a new problem. Here's my experience in just a couple of months:
Everything was fine
UPDATE: Breathing Mode = Broken. Static Mode = Broken. Custom Mode = Broken. White = Yellows. Pinks/Purples = Reds
UPDATE: Breathing Mode = Fixed.

UPDATE: Breathing Mode = Fixed.
Started using a workaround of selecting Breathing Mode then going into Lighting Maker to keep the outside ring 1 color while the inside was another color (Since Custom Mode is broken)
UPDATE: My workaround = "Fixed". Can't do it anymore. Static Mode = STILL NOT FIXED
Now I just have to use Lighting Maker to have a static color since Static Mode hasn't been fixed this entire time.
UPDATE: Breathing mode = Broken. Static Mode = Still broken. Custom Mode = Still broken. Lighting Maker = BROKEN NOW
EVERYTHING BREAKS AND GETS EVEN WORSE.
Screw Cooler Master. They hire people that have no idea what they're doing to roll out firmware and software updates that do no good and only exist to piss you off.

Decent fans for the price they are. They're practically like the Corsair fans just $100 cheaper.

Though not all Cooler Master fans are good. I had to get these to replace the fans that came with my Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R. The fans on that water cooler are absolutely horrible, they were all leaking bearing fluid and rattling like crazy within weeks of getting the water cooler. They were moving up and down more than spinning.

Since getting these Halo fans it has been so much better. They work perfectly and I already had the rest of my case fitted with them for a few months now.

That being said, the lights on these fans might not be that great. The Halo fans that were already fitted in my case are a different color than these new ones. When I installed these 3 I noticed that the colors were off. I set the RGB to a pink and all my previously fitted Halo fans would be pink but these 3 new ones are more purple.
These 3 new ones seem to have a stronger blue light than the rest that I have.

Unsure yet if this is due to the lights being bad and already degrading in my few month old fans or if manufacturing for these fans aren't great.
Due to how bad their software is, I can't adjust the fans colors individually to make them seem like they're the same color.

Loud Fans.... Loud Fans....

Very Loud, but good lighting.

Bad software Very Loud, but good lighting.

Quite good. Good draw even as AIO radiator fans. Quiet for full ARGB fans of this price tier. 32db by my measure at full RPM Quite good. Good draw even as AIO radiator fans. Quiet for full ARGB fans of this price tier. 32db by my measure at full RPM

I wish I purchased these sooner. My old cooler master fans sounded like a server room being cooled by industrial fans inside of a running Boeing 747. They were obnoxious to say the least. These 3 fans are actually quieter than the 2 old ones by at least 50%. The RGB lighting is truly awesome and really adds wow factor to the setup, especially when set to rainbow mode. I love that the lighting is on both sides so you can set them up however you like.

Install is pretty easy, it's more of a factor of finding which plug fits what and any layman like me should be able to figure it out.

Install is pretty easy, it's more of a factor of finding which plug fits what and any layman like me should be able to figure it out. The included RGB controller gives you a variety of colour options to play with but if you want full functionality, you'll need a Mobo with the RGB input.

Overall I'm super happy with the quality, sound level and price of these fans. A true steal at this price.

Was concerned I was going for the cheap option out of the fan selection but these are premium fans at a great price, for a first time install of RGB fans it was fairly straightforward and ended up looking amazing. I've been using this product for 3 months now and not a single problem. Will be buying more for my new case!

These fans are fantastic and cheap for what they bring to the table.

I have a Gigabyte B550i with an ARGB header and I just plugged in the fans to the motherboard with ease and the RGB Fusion software manages the leds easily. No need to use the bundled controller if your motherboard already supports RGB fusion. These fans are fantastic and cheap for what they bring to the table.

Pro's - fans are great, Quite, looks very pretty in my case.

Con's - little bit of mission to set up and cables a little short recommend getting an extension for at least one of the fans (Depending on Motherboard)

l only had them for a short while so lets see how they do long term Pro's - fans are great, Quite, looks very pretty in my case.

Got these on special, easy set up, nice enough kit and aura sync worked without issue. Recommend for budget to mid level build. Got these on special, easy set up, nice enough kit and aura sync worked without issue. Recommend for budget to mid level build.

I really like the halo around them, just adds a bit more to the pc, they perform really well and keeps my temps way down. I've used them in 3 separate builds now and one thing I can say is they are a little noisy but ounce you're focused on the game or got headphones on or just focused on something else you don't hear them, overall great 3 fan kit that I definitely would recommend I really like the halo around them, just adds a bit more to the pc, they perform really well and keeps my temps way down.

I was a bit skeptical about these fans after looking at the bad reviews first but I'm happy grabbed these.

The colours are nice and kind of looks like a gradient, they're brighter and pretty quiet compared to a lot of other fans I've purchased from
Cooler Master so I grabbed 2 packs. I was a bit skeptical about these fans after looking at the bad reviews first but I'm happy grabbed these.
