About this item
【High Performance Cooling Fan】 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.
【Quality Bearings】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.
[Excellent LED light] The high-brightness LED atomizing argb fan blade can effectively reflect the light, making the ARGB lighting effect softer, and it matches the cooler and case more perfectly. Up to 17 modes of light effects with ARGB support, color can be managed and synchronized through the port on motherboard.
【Silent Fan Size】 Model: TL-C12C-S 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.
【Perfect Match】The PC fan can be used not only as a case fan, but is also suitable for use with a cpu cooler to create a cooling effect together, which can take away the dry heat from the case and the high temperature generated by the CPU in operation, allowing for maximum cooling; Ideal for cases, radiators and CPU coolers.

Hey Mike, are the TL-C12CW-S just the same as these but white
Hi, please recommend the quietest 120mm fans.
Nice one Gary G, great find 🙂
I've had these in my system for a couple of weeks, they've been great so far.
@screeyperyes with whatever motherboard brand you have eg for asus use aura sync
@@Kryoth I heard aura sync was bad I am builing with an Asus TUF Z690
I wa thinkining of getting these fans , but I want strimmers, can these be conneced to a lian li hub and controller with L connect or are there any adapters thag can make them work with lian like L connect?
@jacekmakes pretty sure they are proprietary ones.
still good?
Checking this out for the first time and adding a LIKE. I made a goof on the case I recommended my buddy get-thought it came with 3 front case fans but what I thought was RGB fans were LED strips lighting up the front. Was looking at these in black to recommend by pal get.
Appreciate the reviews.
I was getting very confused by some reviews of these fans. Some reviews are like "These fans are just fine and move air for a low price". Other reviews are "OMG these fans are horrible because they make noise!"
I got two sets of these. One 3 pack was the white argb and I put those in a 4000D Airflow. Work fine, can barely hear them, and they move air. The other 3 pack I put in a TT Versa H18. Again, no major issues. I haven't really experienced that strange low RPM wobble, but that is because I try to keep my fans going at medium speed at all times.
glad yours worked out okay, there has been some suggestion that there are batches that are effected, so i will buy some more soon and re test them
Thank you for mentioning what comes with the fans. I was about to purchase extra screws because the product description didn’t mention screws
no problem, glad to help
In one of your videos you helped me fix my laptop after I forgot my password. Thank you very much. Lifelong subscriber earned.
thank you very much and welcome to the family
I’m a iem user and yes I can hear the sound your speaking of but it’s not a deal breaker for myself I did just buy these waiting for them to come in thank you for the review
I bought this set for a friend. Nice fan for the price
Nice low cost fans. I really like them in white. Amazon US is selling the 3-pak for under $15.00. Take care everyone. Cheers
pretty decent for the money
Building with cheap case, far better to have these fans than those fixed speed rgb fans some cases come with. Imo bargain ideal for budget build to get u going. Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath🐈👍
agreed
I bought these a month ago for very cheap like £12 I think, ideal for a cheap case without RGB fans to add some RGB colour and they are decent air cooling fans too. Thanks for the video Mike!
The sound is it quiet?
I just installed 6 of these inside Lian Li O11. Mine do not make the noise like in the video. They are pretty silent at low RPMs. Bought on Amazon US.@@joha7502
@@joha7502yes they do
Thanks for the great review
David Draiman from Disturbed!
lol similar age too
Your channel is a goldmine for these cheaper fans. Just subscribed. What are your favorite budget fans so far, for both RG and non-RGB, which actually provide airflow?
these are probably up there with the best of them, especially at this price. if you want to spend more the arctic p12 argb 0 db are awesome or the thermaltake ct120 ct140
Thank you, appredicate the reply. Will look at the availability and pricing here in China.@@mikesunboxing
These fans are very beautiful and very efficient, I really liked them, I bought some on Amazon and they are very good.
Glad you like them!
Mike's Unboxing & Review is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂
thanks bro
Blimey they are £13.39 for 3 fans, today. Great video thanks Mike
I think mine were 17 bucks Canadian for a box of 3 fans, the black frame ones with RGB. They're pretty cheap. You can get all-black ones with no RGB lights even cheaper than that, maybe 15-16 bucks Canuck for 3 fans.
Love mine can’t beat the price!
how are they holding up?
I just installed 6 of these to replace my decade old Corsair SP120's after reading great reviews. I am very impressed for the price however that motor noise you spoke of is driving me crazy and is very noticeable at all RPMs. I wish I came across this video sooner because now I have to untangle this mess I made. 🤣
It seems that there are a newer generation or version of these that seem to be quite similar but quieter judging from the comments, I am glad in some respects that you have confirmed my experience
Just installed 6 in my O11 Dynamic. Luckily for me, mine do not make any noise like yours, low or high RPM. At low RPM, they are virtually silent. Performance is great too.
Good to know!
@@mikesunboxing maybe the controller has some PWM noise that makes them noisier than when connected to a PC?
how many fans can you daisy chain in one connection?
I have all 6 chained and plugged into 1 header.@@purevessel5159
@@purevessel5159Same question here. I heard you shouldn't connect more than 1 case fan to a single 12V PWM mobo header. How will I know if the daisy-chaining is drawing too much power for the header?
Well my name is now on CZcams. When I 1st saw these I did a double take & decided to get a pack. Local school had a sick computer which needed a new case so after playing with the fans I decided to put them in the case. Set the profile for 750 rpm-1100rpm after some testing they worked & looked great. After I took it back is where the problems started, everyone wanted to use this computer. Have done 3 more since then, they all have the same case, 3 of these fans each & an extra 3 pack if any fail. It's been 7 weeks-3weeks with zero problems & I've have them in my backup system for 7 weeks running 24-7 with zero problems (6 fans). Quirky below 650rpm & above 1375rpm it's like the hub is moving in & out just very little, that is the only way I can describe the very slight sound. If you want some air run 750rpm & above. I have 2-3packs in reserve for $30.00 it's a no brainier without killing the wallet. Mike did I send you enough money, I forgot about the GBP vs USD! Great review & have a fantastic week.
Thanks Gary and your donation is more than enough, have a blessed day my friend
These are great for pc flipping when you wanna add a bit of a premium look on the cheap, theyre on par with cooler master tbh
great video bro, wich fans do you recomend ?? budget ones, thanks
i would be looking at maybe the arctic argb p12 if you can find them at a sensible price
@@mikesunboxing great thanks
acabo de comprar un kit de estos ventiladores, exactamente los mismos y son buenos calidad precio, el unico problema es que ya al 75% si hacen un ruido considerable que a muchos puede llegar a molestar, yo diria que 25 db es el ruido minimo que hacen al 50 % de su potencia. a maxima potencia seran unos 35 db, sin embargo el ARGB es bastante bueno, fluido y brillante, aunque un poco menos colorido que otras marcas pero en general muy decentes. aunque el color blanco tiende a tirar un poco al verdozo y no es un blanco puro asi que puede llegar a molestar y no verse tan bien.
i agree, thanks for commenting
Hola, qué tal el ruido, mis ventiladores actuales suenan a 41 Db con 1300 rpm no son rgb.
Son estos thermalright una buena opción?
@@VashhStampedpues estos llegan a 1500 rpm y un máximo de 35 db, yo creo que si es buena opción si quieres tener rgb
I use 9 of these in each of my Lian Li O11 rigs , they are phenomenal value at £12.69 and also their AIO's are equally as good
yeah they are pretty decent, worth a look
I ordered these yesterday, 12.98 USD, thanks for the video.
Oh ya, Edit to say, yes I can hear the noise with some cheap Logitech speakers.
hope you enjoy using them
as Airflow fans for this price great but for water cooling on a radiator with only 1.5mm H2O not much pressure for it maybe buy two packs and run it push pull.
I have 3 on my radiator and my amd 7800 x3d is running 37c idle and max it ever goes is 53c while gaming nothing wrong with these fans put some more expensive ones to shame
they are now available locally, priced exactly same as deepcool fc120
should I get them or get the FC120? would prefer the quieter one.
fc120 might be quieter
@@mikesunboxing thanks for the reply. have you tried PCCOOLER Halo 3-in-1 FGRB ? are they better than them both? or more or less the same thing just different package?
I bought a set of 3 black non-ARGB TL-C12C's for £12.99 to replace 3-pin fans fitted to cases - quite why manufacturers still fit 3-pin fans in new cases is anyone's guess?! I have the TL-C12C's speed set to 20-60% between 20-40 Celsius and they do hum while ramping up & down - but only IF the fan speed transition timing is less than 5 seconds (ASUS Fan Xpert software / A320M-K / Ryzen 5 1500X / 16GB RAM).
thanks for the info
how are you adjusting the speeds of the fans? I cant seem to manually adjust the speeds through neither BiOS or third party apps, they seem to be locked on high speed.
Fan control software or m/board settings should work, as long as they are plugged into a PWM (4-pin) header. It may depend on the connection type in the m/board settings. Mike should have a video showing how to set them up.
Hi there, thanks for this great review. i have actually purchased a set of the white version. I was wondering if you knew if these fans speeds can be adjusted? As they are only 3 pin I cant find a way of adjusting the speeds and so they are set on max and are rather loud? I have tried in the BIOS but there is no option to change the speed from there and also third party apps, again to no avail? Any help would be super, THanks again
they should be 4 pin for the PWM signal and 3 pin for ARGB?
Hmm ill double check that Thanks@@mikesunboxing
I've got six of these that I'm trying to set up using my B450 Pro Carbon Gaming MB and I'm not sure how to get it done. I figured that I could just link them all together and use and power them all but I'm not having any luck. Can I daisy chain all 6 into one 4 pin power supplier and link all 6 RBG lines into my RGB pins on my board?
I got them all going but I think I'll need an RGB hub to help out with Wire managment.
i would suggest a hub like the airgoo one we reviewed, that will take the strain off of the motherboard headers
How bright are they, I have a Corsair 4000d with the tinted glass, and I want to see them inside
will be fine in there
Bought these about 2 weeks ago (so before this vid). Sent them back for the exact problem you describe - a mechanical ticking / clicking noise at low speeds. No good for a low pwm / low noise desktop setting I'm afraid.
yep cheap for a reason
i get whirring sound ..very annoying
My MOBO has a single jRGB 4 pin connector. How do I connect the 3 pin the Thermalright TL C12C S to the 4 pin?
you can't for the lighting sorry without an adapter but it will still onlyt work as a 12v rgb no addressable effects, better to get the gamemax argb hub with controller, we did a video on it
3-pin ARGB connectors are usually for fans. You have to have a 3-pin connector on your motherboard for RGB fans.
The 4-pin connector is a "generic" RGB power source and is usually used for LED light strips and the like.
If you want to run 3-pin ARGB stuff using a 4-pin motherboard port then you will need some kind of adapter or converter. I have never used one myself.
Built 4 pc with these fans luv them bang for your buck
Hello, the lights don't work but the fan is working.. what can i do?

Agree to the rules by clicking the emoji and you will get access to the rest of the Discord channels
Are the Thermalright TL-C12RB-S ARGB the same as these but with a reverse blade?
yes pretty much, bit louder though due to the reverse blade arrangement
do these fans work with the asus rog strix b450f gaming 2 motherboard?
Yes they should be able to
good deal 👍
What software do you use to change
/control the rgb ?
msi center on pc or the gamemax rgb controller with remote control for outside of pc
There are two versions of bearings, if the bearings are V2, then they are the updated model and make less noise. thats for all thermaltake fans. but for $3.60 per fan for the non rgb version, when I need 9 fans, thats under the cost of a single "good" fan, ill take them.
i need to search for the v2 versions i think
no these are thermalright not take
@@joho7369 You are correct.
Is there a rgb software for them? I can’t seem to get the rgb to work but they are plugged in correctly do I need to buy a controller?
any motherboard software will work as long as your motherboard has a ARGB header on it
Nice, but since you're being super critical, why didn't you say anything about Sound Dampening in the Pc case? Nothing about the rubber on the fans to help reduce noise when installed in a case.
That is a valid point although I find with most fans that have rubber dampers when you screw the screws in tight it sort of diminishes the chance of any real dampening as the rubber is under too much compression and the fan frame is touching the case anyway
These fans are VERY quiet. The little rubber corner pads don't touch the metal case in my own system because of the shape of the case holes, so I just have the plastic fan frames touching the metal case. They are still absolutely silent at my idle speed of about 600 RPM and I just start to hear them at around 1,000 RPM.
Very quiet indeed. I don't know why this dude is making such a big bloody deal over them--they are really quiet fans.
They're also really cheap, so it's anybody's guess if they're going to run for 5 years or if you have to replace them after every 6 months :)
Are these THERMALRIGHT TL-C12C-S compatible with a Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4?
no, that motherboard doesn't have an ARGB header
could you recommend an argb fan controller hub? i will be using 5 of these fans
the thermalright one is pretty good and best of all cheap, but it is a hub not a controller so will need to be connected to the motherboards fan and argb headers
@@mikesunboxing if three are daisy chained am I able to connect it to one argb header ?
Hmm now Im conflicted. Other reviews state they arent noisy, some Amazon reviews state exactly what youre saying that they rattle and yikes no thanks... I was interested in buying a set of 3 combined the the Assassin King or Spirit which seems to have the same fan on it but that one didnt rattle? You did review the cpu cooler variant too but I dont remember you saying that one made much noise.
it was loud at higher rpm's or when open air, when there is static back pressure they seem better noise wise, but lose a lot of airlfow
Which one to get between this one and the Arctic P12 ARGB version?
The arctic fans are much quieter and better quality but more expensive
@@mikesunboxing Well in my country, The Arctic ones cost only 2 dollars more than the 3 pack version of the Thermalright ones. Which one has better cable management?
@@_fiftyseven_ the arctic fans have the wires coming out in two places which is a bit weird but they also support ARGB gen2 so when daisy chained they make one big length of RGB rather than individual fans all doing the same
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for the help!
How do I connect these to the RGB controller in my case?
join our discord and post some pictures of the case and what is there already
Does anyone know what the spectate to change speed and rgb is
do you mean software? if so you use the motherboard software if connected to a motherboard
Hey are these compatible with the MSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard?
yes they are
@@mikesunboxing Thanks 🤝
Case fans are an industry-standard item. They're pretty much compatible with any and every motherboard under the sun.
How many LEDs in each fans
Anyone know a RGB hub that works with these I’ve got no rgb header on my motherboard
The gamemax one we reviewed years ago will and has a handy remote for changing the leds
@@mikesunboxing thank you sir!
Are these compatible with the Asus TUF GAMING Z790?
Yes they are
How many LEDs does this fan have in the argb?
not sure sorry 12 maybe?
I just got these today. But some reason getting no rgb but the speeds seem great
glad you like them
@mikesunboxing yep after couple hours i managed get rgb on 🤣 i only had 1 rgb header on modo so needed to recanle all fans around and link up
@@simonleonard3686 Glad you got it working 🙂
Are the reverse fans for these daisy chainable
not sure sorry, but i would think so
My rgb on the fan isn’t working?? Can someone help me?
Are you plugging the argb plug into a suitable port?
These are REALLY cheap.
They're also *really* quiet, the rotors appear well-balanced and they don't vibrate or wobble as they spin. They run nice and smooth and are almost impossible to hear at idle speeds (maybe 500-800 RPM) with 3 of these fans running. The RGB looks cool too and when you're bored with gaming and/or Web browsing you can continue to enjoy wasting your time porking around with the RGB lights :)
Not much else you can say about case fans! They're a pretty rudimentary part of your machine. These ones are very cheap and seem rather good!
i need to try these again, mine had a definite noise to them when tested, but a lot of people say they are silent, and i couldn't have had 3 faulty ones surely
How do i daisy chain the power? Cause it’s 3 pin and the power is 4 pin
Both leads are able to daisy chain, both the pwm signal and the addressable RGB connection
@@mikesunboxing yeah I just plugged all of them with each other and hoped it would work and it did 🤣
@@KrutGemByte Happy to hear that 🙂

you can daisy chain these for argb
Review phanteks m25 - 120 drgb fans
see what i can do
Work with rgb fusion?
yes they will
@@mikesunboxing with signal rgb?
These fans work perfectly with it. I use RGB Fusion 2.0 with 3 of these fans, works great and looks cool. There are other RGB programs though that will let you create all kinds of custom lighting effects with these fans, RGB Fusion uses only pre-"canned" light patterns. Still, RGB Fusion is fine for me and does what I need.
If you're interested, I'm using the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard, but RGB Fusion 2.0 should work identically in any other fairly recent Gigabyte mobo.
Can you do a installation guide please
sure i'll see what i can do
Installation guide?
1) Mount fans in case with included screws
2) Plug in fan cables and configure fan speed curves
3) Done!

is there software that comes with these fans? whats the name of the software?
nope no software just use 5v header on your Mainboard or if you dont have it buy a 5v RGB Controller From Thermaltake or Razer and use their software.
@@youknowme2003how do i use the 5v fan header on my motherboard?
@@phokingoated 5v ARGB Header you mean? Well just plug your Fans ARGB Cable into the header and controll it via your Motherboards RGB Software
I just bought these and they dont do that sound. Maybe your fan bracket was vibrating. Or maybe they were wrong... most of cheap fans have low QC
yeah i need to order another set at some point, a lot of comments have been confirming my issue and lots have said theirs were okay. So likely a QC or batch issue i think
@@mikesunboxing I just got another set and 2 of them makes that rotor/rattling sound. Not very noticeable but in a quiet room it's a bit annoying.
How many LEDs per fan? I can’t find this description anywhere. Unprofessional by the company to leave it off their product page.
it looks like eight to me, but could be wrong
I think they have eight LEDS, and they are individually addressable. So, you can program your own custom spinning-light effects if you want using the RGB software of your choice (as long as said software is capable of it.)
mine were noisy at high speed. and i dont mean wind noise but other
sorry to hear that, try loosening of the screws in one corner, i did that on mine and the noise profile changed a bit
I need a fan hub to use 9 fans of this fans?
yes probably one hub and a splitter, most combo hubs are 8 port
My fannie is loud. Especially after eating taco bell.
lol
Hi. I will be using 10 of these on my new build. Which thermalright brand of hub should I use? This is what they recommended B09CH13K2M. But I noticed it’s the fan is 4pin. That hub is 3pin. Should I instead use this since it’s 4 pins B0C65DKW1X?
that is fine for the ARGB lighting but you will need a hub for the PWM speeds if you don't have enough motherboard headers
Thank you! Since the hub has 10 ports. Do I need to use the splitter? Or do I connect individual fans to the hub?
I bought these after my Corsair ll120s were getting old and tbh There is no performance difference and I don't hear that noise there virtually silent for the money U can't beat them , more expensive doesn't mean better most of the time your paying for the name , I have 9 of these fans in my pc running a amd 7800 x3d and a rx 7900 xt and it keeps my pc lovely and cool and I can tell you from my rig there very quiet non of the noise in this video what so ever
i still need to order some more of these, a few people have said similar things about a new V2 type fan
When you have to put 23 Fans into a Thermaltake Core P8, you appreciate a cheaper Fan. 😂
yeah definitely
@@mikesunboxing They even have reverse spinning Fans in that same Line. Really impressive! That has only recently become a Feature of High End Fans.
