SilverStone Technology Slim 120mm Addressable RGB Fan with 15mm Thin Design FW124-ARGB

This fan fills a specific niche that until now has not been tapped before. This fan is very slim while also being addressable RGB. I needed a slim fan in my case as exhaust since my previous one covered the shroud too much, plus I have my case using modest amounts of RGB and wanted a bit more.If the above example is what you need a fan for, then this will work exceptionally well. Given the size of the fan, this fan does move a fair amount of air and is very quiet. If you buy this fan expecting it to move air like a Noctua or any high powered fan, then this isn't for you and you'll be disappointed. This fan will not replace the fan on your cooler, nor should you buy it as an RGB fan to push / pull air through a radiator.I'd like to address something seen in other reviews here that knocked this fan a few stars. The ARGB header does indeed have one pin blocked. This is Gen 2 addressable RGB and will not fit a four pin RGB Gen 1 header, so please be aware of that. Other than that, this is a solid fan.I guess you can say that I'm *drumroll please* a fan of this fan. :D

At the time of writing there is no other slim 15mm aRGB fan that I know of on the market. On Amazon at least, maybe some lesser known Chinese company on alliexpress has it but I'm not sure. So if you need a slim fan and also want aRGB this is pretty much the only option. They're a great option too! They work fine and are within what would be expected for noise levels. They CLAIM to have the same static pressure as Noctua's slim fan offerings, but take these numbers with a grain of salt as companies often use different testing methods. They've been nothing but great for me and what I needed them for. They're in a custom water loop Lian Li PC-o11D where I have limited space between the radiator and a vertical GPU mount. In the picture above they're the fans at the bottom of the case.

It is thin enough to fit between the front cover and PC case front metal side to have full exposure to all LED lightning without the obstruction of the case perforation.Very quiet, Noctua quality quiet. Provides good flow for intake fan, but also has a good pressure to be mounted as a second fan on some coolers for PUSH/PULL config.LED brightness is good and MSI Rainbow Mystic light looks amazing.Comes with robber noise dumping mounting (tricky to install thought) but does not require using screws to install. Screws are also provided. Has an adapter for ARGB motherboard connector and can be connected directly to a motherboard.A very good range for RPM

I bought this because my asus tuf aio fan wouldn't fit over ram even with getting the lower profile corsair vengeance rgb pro. This fan fit perfectly even able to install without having to take out ram and looks great

In my picture, this fan is the one all the way to the right.What I needed. Slim. My radiator needed to more clearance to clear the ram sticks and this fan does the trick. Has two leads one for power and one for rgb. It's a 3 pin RGB, so BUYER BEWARE.Will probably buy another to match both of my radiator fans.Only 4 stars because of price but even so it's competitive. (20+$ at the time I bought it)I looked around online for hours and this fan ticks all the boxes I needed, slim with good bright addressable RGB lighting. Solid choice, definitely recommend

Sorry for bad pictures. Hard to tell from these photos but I originally had three of these fans installed, displayed white in software, and all three ended up having different shades of white. I tried messing with software settings and switching cables around but nothing fixes. I even received a replacement and it was a close match to one but still a different color. Seems like the LEDs are inconsistent for some reason.Overall, fans do the job, decently quiet until the 1800rpm kick in I’d say, but not sure how long they will last. For the price, It’s all just... okay.

The fans look and work great with Asus Aura AGRB equiped motherboards. I used them in a Fractal Node 202 mini ITX build with an Asus ROG motherboard. My only complaint is the included ARGB header is garbage. It wouldn't seat on the ARGB header, and kept coming off. I ended up using Asus' ARGB header included with the motherboard with this fan.

*Updated review*I am updating my review and changing it from 4 stars to 1. These fans are just not reliable. Since my original review 3 more of these fans have had bearing failures. One was the one I bought to replace the original failed one. They seem to last about 6 months and then they start to rattle, and eventually they become so wobbly that they stall out. It's a bummer because no other mainstream company makes addressable rgb fans in this slim form factor, but I can't recommend these. Chances are if you need slim fans youre using them in a tight case where replacing them will be a huge hasdle, and you will have to replace them a lot.Original review:I'm using four of these on my two 240mm radiators in a really tight case to cool a RTX 2080ti and a 9900k with a fan curve that favors silence in most of its range. My temps are completely acceptable, staying around 60c on the GPU and 70c on the CPU under extreme loads. With older or less demanding games temps are much lower.I am pretty impressed considering the slim profile, how cramped my build is, and the fact that I'm using less radiator area than what's recommended. They also seem to be the only aRGB slim fans on the market, which is unfortunate, but they do the job very well. They work perfectly with my MSI z390 Edge's built in aRGB control using splitters and a hub(the mobo has only one 3-pin aRGB connection).My only gripe is that after about 6 months one of the four has had a bearing failure. Probably just bad luck.

Es un producto caro, pero al tener un gabinete tan pequeño, y para que pudiera caber con mi tarjeta de video de 3 ventiladores, tuve qué comprar uno así de pequeño (15 mm de ancho).Cumple con lo que promete, se ve muy lindo, y para tener 1 mes y 1 semana con él, no he notado falla alguna.

This is a great little slim fan, got it for around 33$ here which is much better than marketplaces elsewhere.I needed something that would clear my Vengeance RGB Pro Ram and my H100i Platinum RGB SE Radiator in my Corsair 220T case, which is not an easy fit as there is barely any room to be had. Plus I needed something with decent speeds for a slim fan as it's cooling a 9900k under load, and with LED to match the build. So I bought this fan with the hopes of modding it a bit to fit and it works great!The fan pulls air pretty well through it's half of the rad (obviously not as well as a White Corsair LL120 but more than well enough to help significantly.) It's pretty silent when not running at max and I haven't had any problems with it running it's PWM control through the H100i's fan slot.The mods I had to make to fit / match it to the build were:1. Taking a small file set and making a divot through the back ridge of the fan so the ram could clear the fan's bezel. This worked well as the fan is set up in pull configuration and there's tons of clearance on the back of the fan that you can file into.2. Painting it white, which was easy enough covering the blades and bearings with cling wrap and then hitting it with many coats of Krylon white and then a coat of clear.3. Buying a set of DIY-FAB corsair lighting converters which allows me to plug the LED section of the fan into one of my Commander Pro's 2 led inputs. (NOTE: I've never found adapters that allow you to plug it into a Corsair RGB Fan Hub (i.e. lighting node core), but as you can see it works fine in and RGB strip lane.)So yeah, if you have my kind of problem with Radiator and Fan clearance I highly recommend this fan!

I replaced the single fan that came with the coolermaster hyper 212 black with 2 of these in push/pull configuration. Did this because the original fan partially blocks the first ram slot on my gigabyte x570 aorus master. I tried swapping the fan over to the other side to have it pull air through the block but got slightly decreased cooling performance. The current duel fan setup gives it the balanced appeal and push/pull works well with my current case fan configuration. Looks nice with the rest of my setup and runs quiet. Keeps the cpu nice and cool running sub 55-58c under load 30-35c on idle.There was one issue with this order that I felt deserved the stars removed. One of the ARGB connectors that came with the fan had a hole that was either blocked or not machined all the way through. I thought there was something wrong with me when it took me over 5 mins to plug it in and still wasn't able to. Good thing I ordered a 2nd fan that came with its own ARGB connector. That one took all of 2 seconds.Also, just a note to be careful cause if you force a blocked connector onto your motherboard header you will either bend the pins or even break them. If you have a board that costs $500+, that's a big deal. That's why I removed 2 stars cause this small QC fail could cause a pretty devastating result.

This slim (15mm thick) RGB fan is perfect for my PC build. I have an ASUS Prime X-570-P motherboard, which doesn't allow much room for a beefy CPU air cooler if you want to fill up your RAM slots. Since I'm doing some heavy CAD modelling and multitasking, I needed 32 GB of RAM. One solution is to flip your air cooler fan to the backside, so it's pulling air through the fins, to the back of the PC. Theoretically, you could push air through the fins, towards the front of the PC, but this would counteract intake air from the front case fans. However, by using this fan, I can have two CPU cooler fans working together, and man does it look great and work great! I am getting great temps on my CPU (40-50 C), and the RGB fan looks better than the metal fins, in my opinion. Make sure you have a 3-pin, 5V addressable RGB (ARGB) header on your motherboard (this looks like a standard 4-pin connector with one pin missing), or, a 3-pin ARGB hub slot or connector (3 pins side by side). The cable connecting to the fan can take either. It CANNOT connect to a 4-pin RGB header. Flow is not as much as a full-depth fan, but for its sleekness, it works terrific. The build quality is also great, it feels very sturdy and just as strong as the fan that came with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler. It even looks very similar, so they go together very well! If you are having space issues fitting RAM, or perhaps fitting a radiator in your PC build due to space constraints, this fan is a great option!
