In light we seek the darkness in our lives to shade the misdeeds we do unto those we meet.

I've had experiences with the fans and hub, they're pretty good. The fans' static pressure is lacking so don't put them on a radiator. Aesthetic wise they're gorgeous. Pretty silent at low speeds too

How about for case fans? I'm using AMD Reference cooler anyways

Yeah, they have good airflow. As case fans they're very good value and performance. $55 usd is a little expensive though, here in Singapore we pay $13 USD for a pack of 2 fans and about $30ish USD for the kit you mentioned

Well that's a maxican pc shop for you, I wish I lived where you are stuff must be cheap as hell. lol even Techware cases are considered rare over here. So they cost around $40 usd

tecware cases are are dirt cheap here lmao, they're a very good alternative to more expensive cases since theyre basically just ripoffs. there are lian li o11 dynamic ripoffs(with steel and tempered glass) selling for $60usd

Looking at price, they are about what is considered budget rgb, maybe <$10USD per fan. They won't be compatible with motherboard RGB standards (as those are expensive to license). The only review I can find is https://ggwptech.com/pc-hardware-reviews/build-review-tecware-vega-and-arc-f3-buy-or-bust/ and score isn't impressive. Lack of static pressure can be issue with them being used as case fans too, if your case as thick-ish mesh. But if this is best offer for affordable rgb, then sure.

 

Looking at Newegg prices, difference between 3 cheap rgb fans and 3 Corsair fans is $60USD. Corsairs being $20USD+ piece.

 

(DISCLAIMER: I'm not RGB/LED-type. So I would rather pick working fans than fans that look good.)
