Spec me a 140 mm RGB fan

[Bhav]

I need help, I cant decide which one of these to get. I currently have an Asus ROG Strix mobo and NXZT Kraken 42 cooler, and Im not even yet sure if the RGB effects on both of those can be synced.

 

I would like a fan that can sync with Asus's software as that will be powering both the motherboard's LED strip, and the strip I put in my case (The motherboard conveniently came with one).

 

First up are a couple by Corsair, theres the new magnetic levitation one, and one which looks like it has more LEDs, but both are the same price:

Then there are a couple from NZXT and Thermaltake. The NZXT also costs the same as the Corsair ones, but the thermaltake one is cheaper. With these ones the lights dont go through the fan blades, but I wont actually be able to see the installed fan, just the light coming off it so thats not a problem:

I think that any RGB fan thats plugged into my mobo should sync with Asus Aura software, but Im not 100% sure about that. So which one should I get?

Neither will work with Asus Aura sync. For the corsair fans, you need a lighting node. For nzxt you need a hue+.

Oh thanks for pointing that out.

 

I found that these cooler master ones are aura compatible, and available with a pressure version to use with my radiator, so I'll go for this one:
