The front of the fan looks very similar to it’s Riing Trio 12 brother, only the internal, white translucent ring is a little less visible. The bright white fan blades, of which there are 9, should do a grand job of bouncing the RGB LEDs output around the case.
Each corner houses a large rubber pad to absorb vibrations and dampen any sound output from the fan. These are present on both sides.
The reverse side of the fan isn’t much different to the front, with four spokes holding the central hub in place. The outer RGB light ring is a little more visible from this side.
Encompassing the entire outer perimeter of the fan is a see-through light ring which is unique to the Thermaltake Riing fans. This adds a different type of glow to the system and helps to illuminate different sections.
Unlike most RGB fans which would use a 4-pin PWM header and an RGB header of some description, Thermaltake combine the two into one convenient header. This does however mean that the fans are useless without Thermaltake’s controller and prevents your motherboard or fan controller from being in charge of PWM fan speeds. The 900mm cable is sleeved from end to end.
The controller measures in at roughly the size of a credit card, only much thicker, obviously, and connects an internal USB 2.0 motherboard header with up-to 5 Thermaltake fans. It’s possible to mix and match between them, providing they have the same 9-pin header.
The controllers can be daisy chained together if you need more than 5 fans, up to 20 in total.
