RGB CPU Fans - What are my options

venomx · 28 Jan 2021 at 15:56

I have 3x SP120s and 2x SP 140s all connected to the front and rear of my case.
I also have a Node Core

If I want RGB CPU fans which do I need, must they be PWM and 4pin ?? And which ones would be compatible with my Node core setup?
I do have smart mode in my bios where I can create a fan curve

I do have two ARGB headers on my mobo too
MY cooler is a noctua NHU12s
thanks

Instead of buying more fans I'm considering having a push pull configuration on my cpu...
Have the corsair pushing through, and the noctua fan pulling air from the other side, would that work ?

Push pull is barley worth it for a few degrees as you have the fans then why not.

Gone for the push pull mainly for the RGB. Temps have come down nicely too.

Best I could get. Doesn't look great in the pics due to the rainbow effect.

Nice an rgb strip along the psu shroud would look nice like KLOP256 ARGB Strip,550mm RGB LED Light Strip

Yeah I do have an rgb strip lying around which connects to the JRGB header but just contemplating whether it's too much or not
