Regular & Reverse airflow models available: With regular and reverse airflow models available, the D30 fan allows for the perfect configuration without obstructing the fan blade lighting effect.
Easy and clean fan linking system: Linking multiple fans together reduces cable clutter considerably while the screw cover plates, and bridge connectors make multiple D30 fans work as one clean unit.
The D-RGB lighting is integrated and visible from all sides of the D30-120 fan. The blades reflect the light coming from the Halos lighting ring inside the frame. Compatible with Digital-RGB equipped motherboards and Phanteks Digital-RGB products.
30 mm of performance: On a radiator or behind restrictive mesh/dust filters, the 30 mm thick frame and blades provide plenty of air pressure to keep things cool.

The Good
Packaging is impressively presentable and professional
The DRGB lighting effects look fantastic once set up
The Not-So-Good
Shipping took longer than the advertised 3-4 business days
While instructions were adequate, installation wasn't intuitive enough and required searching YouTube videos for proper examples
Connection mechanism needs design improvement - the force required to connect fans together led to breaking 2 IN connectors due to easy misalignment
RGB implementation is misleading - only features 15 LEDs with mirrored effect, which wasn't clearly advertised on the website (confirmed by SignalRGB and other users)
Potential reliability concerns based on previous experience with Phanteks fans failing after approximately 2 years
Verdict
The D30-120 fans deliver on aesthetics but have some design flaws in the connection system and potentially misleading marketing regarding the RGB implementation. Long-term reliability remains a question mark.

Good performance but needs better QA checking
Fans are very high quality and runs spectacularly with very little noise and sound even at higher power, however a couple of the corner pieces are shaped incorrectly which causes the little plastic edge pieces to snap off very easily. Luckily all the fans came with extra covers and wires so it wasn’t a super big issue, but very unfortunate since I now have 2 unusable cords due to that. I ended up having to change the wrongly shaped fans (2 of them) and move them into the middle of the 3 fan setup so the corner piece wouldn’t be utilized.
