ThermalrightTL-C12CW-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm White ARGB Case Cooler Fan, up to 1550RPM Cooling Fan，4pin PWM Silent Computer Fan with S-FDB Bearing Included

To begin with, these are the same fans that come with the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE. I was so happy with my purchase of their CPU cooler, I turned to Thermalright to replace the case fans in my Rosewill S500.Installation is very easy. Each fan comes with power and ARGB splitters, so I was able to daisy chain all 6 fans together (bought two 3 packs) without any issues. Also daisy chained the ARGB plug from the PA 120 SE and everything is synced up without issue. I have found absolutely no reason to purchase a fan hub at this time as the built in splitters did the job. I'm using an ROG B550-F GAMING motherboard, so was stuck with a single ARGB header but this was not an issue.Hooked my fans to one of the system fan headers and adjusted my curves using Fan Control found on GitHub and played around with the RPMs. In terms of air flow, these guys DEFINITELY move air. With these fans at full blast along with the PA120SE, I got my 3700x with PBO enabled (+200 offset) running as low as 27°C at idle. With the original Rosewill case fans, the absolute lowest I saw was 31°C. A similar 5°C was seen when running at full load using a 3DMark CPU profile test. Again, this was at full blast. With fan curves adjusted to lower power and speed, the system is near silent. The water pump in my aquarium is louder than my system running under normal loads. Despite the silence, I still have lower temps than when I had the stock case fans.Before purchase, I tried to find as much information I could on these fans and at best I could find a few reviewers comparing them to the Noctua NF-F12. While I have never used Noctuas and cannot speak from experience, I can only reiterate my system is nearly dead silent. Something to keep in mind is the sound will become noticable above 50% speed. If you need to run your fans at 100% for some reason, however, then you don't have to worry about any whining or related sounds. Your PC will sound like it just has a bunch of air running through it, unlike when a GPU (in my case an EVGA 2080 Super BLACK) ramps up and sounds like a fighter jet taking off. At this time, my fans hover between 8% and 30% speed and I can't hear them unless I really, really try. While watching videos or gaming? You'll only realize they're on due to the RGB lighting, and this is coming from a guy with his case 2 feet from his head. I haven't noticed any resonance issues at this time. Even sliding power from 0-100%, I can't say I've noticed any, so I'm very happy with that.So, they are quiet and absolutely circulate air in your system. The bonus here is the fact these are also ARGB. At the time of this review, a three pack of these are a third of the price of a three pack of Arctic P12 ARGB fans. You can get 6 of these fans (two 3 packs) for the price of a single Noctua A12. Again, these are the same fans you'd find on Thermalright's Peerless Assassin 120 SE and that's a rather quiet and very effective CPU cooler. For now, these are an incredible value and the budget/value space appears to be where Thermalright is dominating right now. From my research, Thermalright used to be what Noctua is to PC fans today. Don't sleep on these guys. I would not be surprised if more PC enthusiasts use these products when trying to maximize bang for buck performance.If you need new case fans or are looking to fill in any extra 120mm fan spots in your case, grab these. I don't care if I come off like a shill, but I am incredibly happy with my setup now. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a 5800x3D, and given the temps I'm seeing on my 3700x, I know I can count on these fans to handle that swap and future builds to come.

The Thermalright TL-C12C-S 120mm ARGB fan offers impressive value for its price. With a maximum speed of 1550 RPM and airflow up to 66.17 CFM, it provides adequate cooling for most builds. The fan operates at a noise level of approximately 25.6 dBA, ensuring a quiet system under load. Its 4-pin PWM connector allows for precise speed control, enhancing efficiency. The ARGB lighting is vibrant, featuring 17 lighting modes that can be synchronized with compatible motherboards. Users have reported reliable performance over extended periods, with some noting a slight increase in case temperatures due to the fan's RPM compared to previous models. Overall, the TL-C12C-S is a cost-effective choice for those seeking aesthetic appeal and functional cooling without breaking the bank.

Just installed the Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan set in my build, and honestly — these fans deliver way above their price point.First off, airflow and cooling performance are excellent. With speeds up to 1550RPM, they move a good amount of air while staying impressively quiet, even under load. The 4-pin PWM control is spot-on, letting my system ramp up or quiet down smoothly as needed.The S-FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) is a huge plus — these fans run whisper-silent most of the time, and you can tell they're built to last with stable, reliable operation. No annoying rattles, clicks, or wobbles.And of course… the ARGB lighting is a showstopper. Bright, vibrant, and super smooth transitions between colors. They integrated easily with my motherboard’s ARGB header and synced right up with the rest of my rig's lighting setup.Final Verdict:If you’re looking for solid, good-looking case fans that balance performance and silence — without draining your wallet — the Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 fans are a no-brainer. Great for gamers, builders, or anyone who wants both form and function.Pros:✔️ Quiet, reliable operation✔️ Smooth, adjustable PWM control✔️ Beautiful ARGB lighting effects✔️ Solid airflow up to 1550RPM✔️ Great value for a 3-packCons:❌ No ARGB controller included (but easy to sync with motherboard)Highly recommend for any mid-to-high-end build.Color accuracy:perfectFunctionality:cools better than i thiught

The media could not be loaded. Pros: These fans work extremely well and are very quiet for the price. I believe they are the most affordable pack of 3 fans on Amazon. The build quality is very nice as well. I like the square build of the fans, as it makes it look clean and sleek opposed to other brands that have some crazy designs. I’m not sure how they will hold up over time, but the Thermaltake brand has been increasing in popularity for its great price to performance, and these fans prove it. The airflow is what you can expect of any pc fan. It pushes air in and out of the pc case, and my GPU and CPU haven’t gotten dangerously hot at all.Cons: I do have three other cooler master fans on the right side as you can see in the video, and there is a color difference, which I understand they are two different brands. I did notice that the thermaltake fans are not as vibrant and can’t turn some specific colors like brown. I have the colors set to brown here, but they look more white than brown.Conclusion: Overall, extremely great fans for the price especially if you’re on a budget, but I do wish the colors were more vibrant. If you have other Thermaltake products like the AIO I have, the fans are the same so the colors will match. I highly recommend this product for the price, but there is room for improvement.

These fans were super easy to install and instantly improved my system’s airflow. They run almost silently, even under load, and the ARGB lighting looks smooth and vibrant. My temps dropped a few degrees, and the whole setup feels more refined. Great value and performance for the price!
