Fractal Design Prisma AL-12 – 120mm Computer Fan - PWM Control - Six addressable RGB LEDs - ARGB - Optimized for Silent Computing and High Airflow - LLS Bearings - TripWire Technology - RGB (1-Pack)

Right out of the gate, after perusing through some of the other reviews on these fans, I think a couple of things need to be cleared up right away. First off, these use a 3-pin, 5 volt ARGB connector for the lighting. They will not work with the 4-pin, 12 volt standard header. Most new motherboards have the correct connector (including Gigabyte, which one reviewer said wasn't compatible), but please, PLEASE check before you buy and understand the different headers on your motherboard. The fan speed control is dependent on the version of the fan. This review is for the PWM version, which means it has a 4-pin PWM connector. This is different from the RGB header. More than one review clearly confused the fan speed header with the RGB header, so just want to try and clear some of that up, especially since these are the "Top" reviews on this site.Now then, on to the actual review.On one end of the spectrum, you have Corsair's QL fans, which are expensive and require a specific ecosystem to exist in. Further down, you have these fans from Fractal Design. Not quite as basic as the cheapest fans on the market, but not nearly as robust as the QL's.What Fractal has done here is create fans that are, at their core, very simple, elegant looking, but nowhere near as vivid as some of the other fans on the market. The downside is they aren't nearly as bright as some offerings as there are only 6 LEDs per fan (compare that to the 34 found in a QL fan), the upside being you can operate the lighting with either their controller (sold separately), or by connecting to a 3-pin, 5 volt header on compatible motherboards. Fractal doesn't have any proprietary software, and allowing you to daisy chain these fans together is a nice little touch. This keeps things simple, but does require you understand how and if you can connect these fans for the lighting. If all else fails, you can grab their controller for around $15-20 to connect the lighting. It isn't great, but it'll keep the addressable functionality.Performance-wise, these fans can get up to 2000RPM, which makes them faster than some of the other fans out there, and I've found them to be very solid, whether as case fans or on radiators. I've also found the noise level to be very favorable, especially in the 1000-1500 range. I ended up using one of these in place of a Noctua fan on a Chromax cooler on my nephew's PC build and it did just as well as the Noctua fan when it came to cooling. Additionally, these fans feel very good, very solid when handling, so there's little concern about them breaking easily.The only downside for my tastes is the lighting. It just isn't that bright, especially when compared to Corsair's QL fans or Lian Li's Uni Fans. It's there, but it doesn't pop quite the same. It's not bad by any stretch, but I like my fans to have a little more pop to their lighting. But some might prefer the more subdued level of light coming off these fans.Overall, I'm happy with these fans and what they provide, especially when you consider their price. They're cheaper than both the QL's and the Uni Fans, while not requiring proprietary software. They're a solid choice if you're looking for fans with ARGB and good performance.

Quiet, works with Mystic Light. aRGB is beautiful on these fans and the light placement within the fans makes for an even glow. They are doing a phenomenal job of keeping my case cool and doing it quietly.don’t buy on the hype of other rgb fans, and don’t buy cheap junk either. These babies are $30 less than hyped brands and perform just as well. Planning to buy another 3 pack to replace my aio fans very soon.

Needed these for my Fractal Torrent as I initially got the non RGB version but decided I wanted the RGB fans. Installed them and they look great with amazing airflow. A bit pricey but what isn’t in the PC world in these times?

Absolutely great for cooling, fan noise was not an issue for me.

Good fans, I have 3 and two 140mm attached to radiator. My only complaints are they are three pin (my MoBo is 4 pin) so I had to by a $45 adapter to make them work, also can only get them one color at a time...not the rainbow affect shown in the picture. I am not sure if that’s due to the adapter or not. Otherwise they are quiet and still look great.

Quality and performance. Fractal always has been on top of there game with engineering.

I have the corsair QL fans that look amazing! But that is all there good for is looks. The Fractal fans just destroy the corsair QL fans in performance. The amount of air Fractal Fans put out is amazing dropped my cpu temps by 5 degrees on my radiator. Now I want the 140m fans lol

The fan looks great and I think it is a proper addition to the Fractal Torrent build. My only Greg is that it was a 3-pin instead of 4-pin connector to be attached to the system fan 4 pin on the motherboard. I thought this was 4-pin PWM. So in this way it was disappointing.

These are great, maybe a bit expensive, but I really like them

Läuft und sieht dabei noch gut aus. Für mein fractal Gehäuse genau das Richtige.

Easy to install, the lights are really nice, and the build quality feels good.It works perfectly on my Asus motherboard using aura sync

As I bought the wrong size they look great, if they are the same as the 120mm then they will be easy to install as the have the fittings with them.

Ottima qualità, vale i pochi euri spesi in più.I cavi sono leggermente più spessi perché ricoperti da una guaina protettiva che da anche un buon effetto estetico.I connettori sono leggermente gommati invece che di plastica dura tradizionale
