Have seen a few reviews of these and they look decent. They're showing as pre-order in the store so any idea when these will be in stock?

Very keen on these to replace my bequiet fans, however the fan controller takes 6 fans, I will be replacing 10 silent wings which are daisy chained into various PWM headers.... would that cause an explosion or something? (going into a ARGB header on z690 maximus).

The high powered version of the 120MM use just under .5amp at 100%, most headers can handle 1 amp. If you are going to daisy chain i would use a powered hub

Seem to have nice ARGB lighting with nothing great in performance department .. so overall a good ARGB fan choice according to VSG, and I find his reviews to be some of the best.
Would love to try them out and see (no pun).

I have more than enough fan headers it was the RGB controller I was talking about sorry for being unclear and some research shows that I do need one argb port per fan so going to buy a bespoke 10 argb hub off rainforest.

I guess they're based on the Pure Wings, or at least they look to be.
Pure Wings is a solid fan, but not exceptional.
Arctic P12 would offer very decent performance but the annoying pitch at 1000ish rpm.
Now using the Silent Wings and I understand why when you buy cheap or wrong, you buy twice. Superb.
