Replaced three fans in my rig.
These are magnetized link so they are worth the extra cost one ran one fan cable to my controller for all three.

Perfect ARGB fan with reverse-flow blades
The media could not be loaded. TL;DR: Quiet, ARGB, cable-free daisy-chaining, magnetic, swappable reverse-flow blades. What more could you want?Usually I'll go for Noctua fans when I want silence and performance, but for this build I also wanted something that would look great and light up nicely inside a case with glass panels. After lots of searching I discovered these... and they are everything that I hoped they would be! Six of these Thermaltake SWAFANs (ARGB variant) provide silent air intake through the mesh-filtered side and bottom of my case and allow individual LED control for full case effects with open-source OpenRGB software.Construction: The fan base, blades, wires, connections, and packaging all feel premium. Comes with extra grease, should you need it down the road. The LEDs are nice and bright and the fan blades do a decent job of diffusing the light.Reverse-flow blades: These fans come with reverse-flow blades that can be easily swapped in, so the fan can be mounted with preferred air-flow orientation without being obscured by fan structure.Magnetic: Fan edges have magnets that help join the fans together for install. The cable that you connect to the fan also attaches magnetically.Cordless daisy-chaining: Fans have daisy-chain pin/pad connections, so each set of 3 fans side-by-side only need a single cable that Y splits for 4-pin PWM/Power and ARGB. Plenty of reach on each end of the Y cable to reach your motherboard's fan header and an ARGB controller and less wire mess in your case.Silent (typically): At idle and typical workloads, the fans run silently at lower RPM. During heavier workloads or gaming, my system profile has the fans raise in RPM to a barely audible level. Only when really pushing the system do the fans increase to noticeably audible levels when moving lots of air.ARGB Control: The LEDs on these fans are controllable via ARGB, which means you can use your motherboard's ARGB control or a 3rd party ARGB controller to control each LED individually on the fans, even when daisy chained, without having to use extra vendor-specific controllers or software! I control these ARGB fans and other case LEDs with the "Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller." I use OpenRGB to drive this controller, along with my DIMMs and graphics card. OpenRGB allows me to map all of these LEDs to their physical space to run interesting full-chassis effects. See video for demo.Cost: IMO, these fans are very affordable compared to alternative solutions when shopping. Especially considering that they are ARGB compatible, you can use a single controller for multiple ARGB peripherals. I could not find an alternative that checked all of these boxes.Tip: Avoid over-tightening fan mounting screws, or they may not power-on correctly.Thank you Thermaltake for making an excellent fan with reversible blades and ARGB connectivity!

price, quality , adjustability.
fans are great because you can use them for just about anything extremely versatile. i didnt have issue making them work like some reviews, but i made sure they were all connected well when i installed and screwed them in. haven't had issues for 9 months.

Would Not Recommend
Yes. With a title like that, I gave it 4 stars. Great fans, for the price. RGB looks great. Swappable fan blades are the best feature. The magnetic connection feature is a nice touch too, but there lies the problem. If the pogo pins aren't perfectly aligned, it ruins the whole lot. If one is misaligned (out of 9), it's like trying to find the burnt out light on an old strand of Christmas lights. It took me hours to get them lined up to where all the lights were working and fans were spinning. I did some cable management and hooked my peripherals up and now I have 6 fans that light and spin while the other three just spin.

Amazing, Vibrant Case Fans!
Pretty solid fans. They cool really well and work very well with my AIO as well. The back fan that I have in the photo is also a Thermaltake fan as well, but a different model. Thermaltake fans seem to always have really bright, vibrant colored LEDs and look amazing in my case. I'm definitely satisfied and plan to buy matching fans for my mini rig as well!The magnetic connection can be a bit finicky to connect, but it DOES work once it connects. You just may have to disconnect and reconnect the connector a time or two. But it works amazingly once it connects. :)

Good luck getting the fan blade off
I bought these reversible pc fans thinking they would look good in my pc case. I can't give a review on how the fans work or the argb because I never got that far. I needed to change the original fan blades to the reversed blades but I could not get the original blades off. I read the instructions over and over looking for some trick. Watched videos to see if anyone showed taking them off but there were none. It said to push as close to center as possible which I did and the fans housing broke before the fan ever came off. Almost $80 for something that doesn't work as advertised. No

Great fans with airflow choice!
Great fans to use in my new build. The cable sometimes needs re-positioned to get the lighting working with initial setup, but after that they just plain work. Love not having to use a controller box for these too. Just running mine to an ARGB sata powered hub in the back of case to keep it simple. So many less wires to deal with. I only wish they sold them in single packs since the triple back comes with three connection wires anyhow. None the less they are cheaper than Lian Li and Corsair Link fans currently from when I looked. I will say the amount of force to pop out the standard blade to put in the reverse blade is unnerving at first, but they are strong and didn't have any problems.
