Patented Riing Plus RGB Software & AppMonitor the fan performance, adjust the fan speeds, and customize the lighting effects for up to 80 fans with Thermaltake’s patented Riing Plus RGB Software and an exclusively designed mobile app. |
Light ModeSwitch between different lighting schemes (Full Lighted, Sound Control, Flow, RGB Spectrum, Ripple, Blink, Pulse, Wave, and Thermal) along with three Color modes (RGB, Single and Off) and four Light Speeds (Slow, Normal, Fast and Extreme). |
Fan SpeedsAdjust fan speed RPM on a dedicated control panel. The software can set the fans to ‘Silent Mode’ where the RPM performs between a 500 – 1500 RPM range, or ‘Performance Mode’ which operates and dynamically adjusts all the way up to 1500 RPM. Besides running at the optimal RPM range, you can customize the speed by disabling PWM. |
Fan AlertThe software offers real-time fan warning alerts when performance operating issues have emerged. The control panel of the failed fan will be grey out, so you can quickly identify which fan is causing issues. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The LEDs are bright and vibrant. The frosted rings do an excellent job at diffusing the light, and the design is such that the rings are visible from both sides and the outside edges of the fan. The rings let enough light through to slightly illuminate the fan blades, but this effect would have been much better if the fan blades were white. *This is more visible in pictures than in person.* The colors are decently accurate.
The fans are of surprisingly excellent quality. At lower speeds they are inaudible even in a quiet room. They become audible at about 730 RPM (around 35%). They have good static pressure capabilities and do an excellent job pushing air through radiators, but are also more than capable of being used as "air flow" fans. The speed range is about 470-1330 RPM, but the individual fans seem to differ in range by around 100 RPM.
The software is usable, but lacks much of the functionality that I would expect from a high-end fan solution. The UI is rather artistic (perhaps too much so), and doesn't offer scaling for larger screens. The individual LED color selection is simplistic, but lacks functionality because of it. The color wheels are decently accurate, and do offer a numeric R/G/B option for finer tuning. Brightness of individual LEDs can be controlled. I have some issues with saving and loading profiles - it seems that every time I load a profile something with the fans is incorrect, whether it be PWM mode selection or manual speed percentage. Even on computer startup, some of the fan settings revert to defaults. Hopefully this will be addressed in future updates. Lighting has always saved just fine.
The biggest downside to these fans by far is the software. I've found nothing lacking with the hardware, build quality, or appearance, but the software greatly lacks a feeling of completion. Hopefully this will be reconciled with future software updates. Nearly cost this product a star, but I don't interact with the software often enough for it to be a major concern.
Other notes:
The fan cables are long - very long. It's difficult to fit them all in a full tower case, so you should keep this in mind for smaller form factor builds.
Each fan includes mounting hardware - four long screws and four short screws. Some additional hardware was included for mounting the controller, but I left it unused.
The controller saves the selected profile and returns to it upon startup. The controller is able to completely control the lighting without the software running, but it CANNOT control fan speeds based on system temp without the software running.
Each fan has a Thermaltake sticker in the center. I wish they wouldn't do this on such expensive fans. I may remove mine in the future because a few are slightly off-centered and it does bother me to look at.

Summary – If you are looking to make your PC light up nice and have a ton of lighting options, this really is the way to go. I just ordered a second set of three for the top of my pc and will be running a total of two kits (6 fans – 2 controllers) and could not be happier. These are the most amazing looking RGB fans I have seen to date.
This kit gives you three RGB fans, a controller, mounting hardware, micro USB to internal usb cable, link cable and power (molex) cord.
Unlike some of the other rgb fan kits, these have a lot more control over the led lighting. These have several light modes, color modes and could pretty much do anything you could want using the free downloadable software.
Some modes you can select from included full lighted, sound control, flow, RGB, Ripple, Blink, Pulse and Wave.
With the software, you also get full fan control. You can adjust your fan from silent to performance and the controller can support up to 5 fans per controller.
Setup was smooth, easy and even quicker than I expected.
****Make sure you mark any fans as inactive in the controller software which you do not plan to use. If you do not do this, the software will give you an controller error as it thinks any missing fans have a problem. Example, I run only three fans on each controller. Fans 4 and 5 are turned off on each via the software.
In terms of quality, these feel very sturdy and well-built when you handle them. My case is a Corsair 760T full tower case and my cables are long enough to go from the front of my case to the rear – back of the case where my controller is. (They also had at least 6” length after that.) Fan speed ranges from 500 to 1500 and volume ranges from 19.8db to 24.7db. It is literally barely audible in comparison to my previous case fans. (Hydraulic bearings used.) There is also zero vibration in any of my fans and it was nice to have the long cable covered in a case to make it look better in your case.
Some have complained they are expensive; however, you get what you pay for in my opinion. If I would go buy a new high performance quality pc fan at a local store, I would typically pay around $20-30. You get 3 fans with this which puts you only a few dollars more. And having the ability to control my fans as well as rgb lighting is great.
Overall, I am very happy and these are doing what I expected and more in terms of color control. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do a pc mod.
WISH LIST FOR THERMALTAKE
-Possibly make a multi fan platform. One software that can control all models. Or at least the Riing premium and riing plus. (For those who may want to mix and match systems in a larger setup.)
As with all my reviews, should this begin to have issues or fail to perform, I will update this review.

As with all my reviews, should this begin to have issues or fail to perform, I will update this review.
My only gripe is that the software is just truly awful. It's as if they spent 10 minutes in a board meeting hastily throwing together some semblance of a control software before declaring "Mission Accomplished!" and slapping high fives while the customers who are cursed to use it suffer. I am not a programmer by any means, but maybe make it so that the options can be controlled with dropdown menus, or allow fans detected by the controller to be rearranged so that the ripple lighting effects look correct instead of the user having to crack open the PC and fumble with plugging in the cables in the right order. Furthermore, what is the point of viewing each fan in a UI that rotates like a rotunda? Just make a list with sensible UI options next to them in drop-down menus. Allow for multiple controllers to be accessed by one master menu so that changes made to one controller automatically are applied to the other. Currently, profiles save unique to each controller, meaning that if you want to keep a cool lighting set-up, you must make it multiple times across all of the controller menus and save separately. It would also be nice to be able to adjust the LED lightings to compensate for a fan that was put in the case at a different orientation; say one fan was put in 90 degrees differently than the others, making it so the RGB loop is slightly ahead of the rest of the system. Make it so that the user can adjust the position of the lights to match the rest of the case.
I could go on but you get my point. It has a bunch of issues that need to be addressed. These are great fans, but the software sucks.

They require a Thermaltake controller, i bought a "Thermaltake TT Sync SATA Powered 9 Port Addressable LED Controller Premium Edition", works great, passes through pwm, and drgb from my board.
Lo único malo que tienen es que el software para controlar los ventiladores en el PC es confuso y no muy eficiente.
Sin duda los recomiendo mucho.

I don't get all the ppl comaining about the software . I got the program, plugged in my fans(I'm running 6 140mm) and it works perfectly. There are lots of color options and patterns that look killer. I'm using twilight for half and thermal for the center so I can monitor my CPU temps. I couldn't be happier with them. Maybe older versions of the software we're buggy but now it's fine
