So I personally use d30’s and love them but my niece had her 14th birthday and I wanted to get her new fans with out spending 300 bucks. So I tried the m25’s and other then having to cut the tabs off the ends that join 2 fans together for them to fit in the case I can’t complain. Their cheaper than most but don’t feel super cheap and so far appear to be working excellently in her case
These fans are so frustrating to install. Strange, non-standard connectors that require adapters which are not always included. I bought 9 fans and only received two of the adapter cables so I had to do a bunch of strange daisy chaining to get them all to work. Phanteks, why can't you just put standard connectors on the fans? The installation of these fans was, without a doubt, the worst experience of my 25 years of PC building.
The price to performance before the tariffs was stunning. I've been using Phanteks fans for the better part of a decade and the performance and quality of life features keeps improving; from blade design, daisy chaining, fashion caps for the mounts, and physically linking of the fans. Just wish there was a non-RGB reverse blade. Solid final purchase of a Phanteks product until the tariffs are absolved.
The lack of daisy chaining and lack of being able to control each LED without the controller is really a bummer, especially since the back of my case is already full of wires and extra controllers for my other lighting. Just another 2 controllers I have to get due to having 10 fans and each controller allowing up to 9 fans each.
Everything came nicely packed. The instructions for each item was clear and concise. I’ve installed everything into my Evolv X2 and everything is working nicely! Would recommend these products to everyone.
