Are the Asiahorse fans worth it? Absolutely. In this article, we will review some of the Asiahorse fans and help you decide which ones work best for you.
The newer fans can be completely and independently controlled by the remote. You also have full control over the fan speeds from four different settings at a low, medium or high RPM. If you decide not to go with using the manual remote control to decide how much you want them to push air, they are also PWM compatible via the hub. The hub plugs into a PWM header so you can control the fans that way based on the motherboard thermal.
There are so many different modes on these fans with so many level steps of speeds for the RGB lights. You have RGB on the casing as well as on the fan itself. Sometimes, it would appear that a quarter of the ring lights are dead and just stopped working, but when you change to other modes they start working again.
The newer Asiahorse fans have great reviews are standard-sized fans with 25mm thickness and they perform well enough to get on a radiator especially being PWM fans. It is advised to keep the manual handy in case you need it to reference certain modes using the remote control. They have over 20 lights which makes it very fluid especially if you go with lower speeds. Let’s review the Asiahorse FS-9002 RGB fans.
Price and specifics of Asiahorse
The Asiahorse FS-9002 RGB fans retail for about $40 USD for three packs and $80 USD for six packs. It looks very good, especially the ones with the 465X in white with tempered glass. Asiahorse hubs now come with a stick-on adhesive which is less desirable compared to the magnetic one. The blades have some cutouts for better airflow and leather garments at each of the four corners to dampen out the sound. When it’s powered on, you can click on the power button twice on the remote to enable aura sync. When you initially set up, the colours are not going to be calibrated, so you have to do it in Settings. The sound is very quiet and at the maximum RPM, it still sounds very quiet. They come with different light effects which lets you control how it appears.
So lets review the Asiahorse Magic-e aRGB fans and Magic-i. They both retail for $28 USD. They come in three colours, black, white and pink. They both look very similar to each other but the difference is the rainbow padding around it. They have the same amount of blades and the fans light up with LED. The fan clip at its four sides easily pops off. This is possibly a new design that allows you to change the clips if need be. They both rotate between 1100-1200 RPM like most of the other Asiahorse fan models and sound really quiet. The Magic-e aRGB rings work a little better and are more vibrant. There isn’t any RGB speed adjustment so what you can do is slow down the fans. However, when you do this the fans start to make some noise.
The Asiahorse WD-001 retails for about $30 USD for three packs and are similar to the Asiahorse FS9001. The difference is that they don’t have LEDs like the F9001s do and don’t look as good as the F9001s. The fans have three RPM modes, 800, 1000 and 1500 which is the maximum. At 800 RPM it’s not so quiet and you can’t use the PWM it doesn’t work so you have to use the remote control. They perform as well as the FS9002s. At 1500, it is very quiet as well. It also has adjustable brightness control with white, red, green and blue solid colours. You can control the RGB effects with some very cool colours and transitions as with other versions. The RAM also changes colour with heat sinks.
The Asiahorse Matrix serves as an alternative to standard fans. They have fully enclosed fans like a radiator and come in two sizes, 240 and 360. They have some stock built-in modes but not as many as discussed above but still looks very good. If you have the three-pin 5-volt header on your motherboard they also sync with rsync. They run at a speed of 1800 RPM and can be installed onto a radiator. The screws to do so are enclosed in the box. They are PWM fans so you can adjust them in bios or you can let the case do its job on auto.
