The connection is made as usual via a 4-pin PWM connector and the 5V RGB connector. The translucent light ring houses the individually controllable RGB LEDs, the rotor is unlit. But we’ll get to that in a moment, also to the gap dimensions known from Power Logic. However, a total of 7 very wide rotor blades will have to turn a little faster to compensate for the reduced inner diameter of the frame due to the illuminated ring. At the same time, Fan’s 25 mm thickness is exactly within the norm, which of course makes it more comparable in the end. The omission of a classic frame is an annoying design stunt, which is quite nice visually, but has such a negative impact on the performance that the mere sight of the unpacked and not yet connected product is a foreboding sign. Power Logic can do really good fans and is a really good address for many customers, unless you practice cost-down. Razer buys the fans from Power Logic, a Taiwanese company with its workbench in China. For example, the wisdom that radiators are not impressed by LEDs and even good OEMs only deliver what the buyer, in this case Razer, pays for. If it is this time exceptionally no product recommendation, then one can learn nevertheless also so some from such a non-purchase recommendation. And since we’re not just ranting without being able to back it all up, I recommend everyone follow our odyssey across all sides of the test. A fan that needs 100 meters of run-up in some situations even to stand still is really a no-go for 40 Euros and more. Especially when, in the end, neither is quite right. You simply cannot offer something like that for this price, especially since the packaging completely contradicts the specifications on the homepage in terms of performance data.

The main thing is colorful? Apparently so, but I’m really pissed off. Especially since it can’t beat the reference, which is only half as expensive.

The fact that the cooling performance is barely better than that of a 5-euro fan despite the usual brightness is not only depressing for the buyer, but really declassifying for the product. A fan whose RRP is around 43 Euros and which is hardly available on the market for significantly less than 40 Euros already sets extremely high standards for itself via the price, which it first has to meet. So I bought the part for almost 40 euros after all and was just as shocked as most who had complained so loudly about the product. Today’s test was not only requested by many readers, but almost insisted on.
