RGB fans that dont light the fan ? Azza Hurricane RGB lite Review

VIDEO REVIEW ( written below )

 

 

WRITTEN REVIEW :

 

I promise I will not be punning. 

 

The Azza Hurricane RGB Lite.

 

In the box :
3 RGB fans 
1 RF remote
1 Molex to RGB cable ( 4pin )

 

Fairly priced at 39$USD the fans take an interesting approach to LED lighting on fans.
Yes we have RGB , yes it still blows air but the way the lighting is implemented is quite different from other brands.

 

Instead of lighting the hub like the SP series from corsair , or lighting the whole front like their HD series AZZA lights up the exterior frame of the fans leaving the blades dark and honestly… i think it's for the better.

The blades have this snowflake design on them which honestly feels a little off but according to their website “Special grooves carved into the fan blades help reduce noise levels up to ten percent!”. Honestly I don't really consider snowflakes grooves but I can roll with it for now. The frame on the other hand has a feature called “Shark Teeth” which is supposed to create a vortex of air that is more focused. Here is where i think all these feature lower the performance of the fans, the shark teeth are placed directly behind the blades, combine that with thick hub spokes to route the wire to the 4 LED wires and the extension to one of the spokes for the hub motor wire and you get a lot of resistance behind the fans.

In my testing,  just a piece of paper stuck to the top of the fan , it performs pretty well against other generic case fans but when you put it against any other performance fans it does fall behind a little. With its 1500 rpm + 47cfm I would not recommend this fan to be against a 120mm radiator if you want to overclock. 

 

Now my review so far seems pretty negative so let me lighten it up with some of its positives.

 

Its gorgeous ( look at my B-roll ), honestly the look of these fans is definitely different from those from other manufacturer. Its RGB ( duh ) and it has a RF remote ( yay for not having to point the remote wherever you hid that IR sensor ). With the remote , it can technically cycle through all 16mil some colours but the static colour options are limited to 7. You can actually connect the RGB of the fans to your motherboard if it supports it since it uses a good ol 4 pin RGB connector. The connector is also daisy chainable to other RGB devices i.e : RGB strips and It has rubber dampeners.

 

I'm going to keep this review short since , well it's a fan review.

 

Buy these fans if :
-you have a RGB compatible motherboard
-you want a different look from good ol corsair’s look
-you are going  to use them as case fans
-you are going to put them on a 240mm radiator or on an air cooler

 

I'm still working on my written review skills, i'm having a lot of trouble with syntaxe but I won't get better unless I write some and get some feedback, so feedback away below if you want ! and watch the video if you can ! 

 

Frost ya later ,

I think what I like most about these is the fact that you can can control them independently with a remote if you dont have an RGB ecosystem, or you can sync them with the rest of your build if you do. And while I'm not sold on the performance of the fans themselves, for $40 three RGB fans is pretty good
