beautiful looking fans, Software is Crap, be useing this software for years now, not happy with it.

As everyone who builds their own PC knows, selecting the parts is a long process to get everything right for your dream machine and getting the right fans is a big part of this as they often provide most of the lighting effects. I spent ages deciding which fans to get and ended up selecting Corsair's QL fans mainly because of the way they look and especially as they have the LED's on both sides as the 6 that I was installing would all be intake fans and therefore I'd be seeing the back of them. I also like how everything gels so nicely with Corsair's iCUE software which now even lets you control nanoleaf panels. (I currently use iCUE to control the lighting on the 6 QL fans, memory modules, motherboard, GPU, keyboard, mouse, mouse mat and 2 sets of nanoleaf panels and all work seamlessly together)Installation is a real chore however due to the fact each fan has 2 cables for power and lighting so you end up with quite a mess of cables that provides a challenge for tidy cable management although I was building in Lian-Li's 011 Dynamic case which is a dual chamber and helps to hide most of the cable management. I used one of the lighting node core's that come with the triple pack of fans to connect the LED cables and this was then connected to a Commander Pro along with the power cables. A load of zip ties are necessary to help with tidying all the cables!Once I had the fan curves set up correctly (Corsair's standard curves are too generic and produce too much noise) the fans run with little noise and can hardly be noticed in the background, in fact under heavy gaming it's the NZXT fans I have installed on their AIO that make most of the noise, and the QL's are still relatively quiet, so much so that I'm tempted to replace the NZXT fans with more QL fans.Once everything is configured sitting back and admiring the huge number of lighting effects is very satisfying, however this is where the flaw appeared. As with many other reviews I've seen, I noticed with certain colour combinations that some of the leds were coloured incorrectly, the first fan did this only a couple of months in to using them. Once I realized it was a fault on one of the leds I would either turn that led off or use a colour that didn't show it but when the problem started on all six fans with multiple leds on each fan I decided to follow up with Corsair as I felt for the cost they should be perfect.Corsair were relatively quick to respond and I communicated back and fore via email with the same tech who provided 2 options. 1. standard RMA which means sending them to Corsair for inspection and once they were satisfied they were faulty they would send replacements. Or 2. Expedited RMA where Corsair charges your credit card and sends out replacements straight away, once received you send the faulty ones back in the prepaid envelope that comes with your replacements and once they examine them and agree they're faulty they refund your credit card. It was only after they had all the info including proof of purchase that they suddenly requested another photo of the fans showing the faults with all lights set to white and when I sent this to them they decided that they wouldn't bother with the RMA and just sent out 6 replacement fans without me having to return the faulty ones which was appreciated.So in summary,PROs1. Fantastic look and large number of leds making them extremely configurable2. Work seamlessly with iCUE software3. Very Quiet running once fan curves are configuredCONs1. Expensive2. Cabling nightmare, especially if used in cases that are not dual chamber3. Possible LED faults (although hard to determine just how widespread this is as more often or not people only leave reviews when they have a problem) and a real pain to have to remove and reinstall.Personally, I love the look of these fans so much I'd take the risk with the fault, especially as the warranty is 2 years and my experience with Corsair's after sales was quite good. I think the only other fans I'd consider at the moment are Lian-Li's new Infinity uni-fans which not only look stunning but they seem to have nailed the cabling issues with their interlocking fan set up. The only thing against those for me is that I'm heavily invested in Corsairs iCUE software but we'll see when I next upgrade or rebuild :-)Hope this review helps anyone who's considering these fans.

Easy to setup& quiet

Very, very good. Although one of the fans has failed (fortunatly before 30 days). Replacement sent.

I bought 6 fans to replace my standard fans. Very expensive but buying them in 3's had a lighting core included. Setting them up was very easy but one word of warning make sure you have 1 x USB internal socket free on your motherboard. most new boards only have 2, realised I needed to buy an extension, They make a NZXT one but another £22 cost. Love the lights though

These fans were quite expensive but they look really good once installed and configured qith the icue software. The colours are really bright and vibrant. Noise level varies depending on speed, but at low levels are really quiet.Unfortuntley, after a few Months, a number of these fans have had LED colour issues or died. I've bought 6 fans for my computer with 3 failing within a couple of Months. Corsair were super helpful with the warranty process and replaced these 3. A Month later, 2 more of the original 6 had the same issue.Nice fans, but I'd be hesitent to buy again unless these issues are addressed. It's an absolutle pain to pull them out and rewire replacements everytime they fail.
