EK-Vardar EVO 120ER RGB Fan

[VSG]

EKWB has listened to market demands and came out with an RGB-lit version of their already-excellent Vardar EVO 120ER fan. With bold claims of no performance reduction in spite of 9 RGB LEDs added and a re-worked fan design with a different impeller/hub and bearings to before, the fan merits a detailed look in more ways than one.

I guess if you don't mind about the noise they are OK but judging by the graphs these silent wings 3 would be very good for my build (Noctua NF-A12x25 are very good fans but too expensive for my wallet).

It's beautiful no matter what I think about RGB Fans.
I think same should arrive with 120 mm gasket or some kind of rubber.

I'm not big fan of Noctua rubber "holders" for fans, but no one pack some nice screws allen key with rubbers.
I think EK still sell on their site some package with small allen key screws and rubbers.

Example this... 4 of these small and 4 rubbers would be main option for installing fans.
They should sell 8 or 12 screws and rubbers in pack, only small without big one.

At the end of these clip you can see how nice is green color on EK RGB Fans. Keeping static mode in ASUS Aura and one color is not so bad as RGB.
And this watercooling kit is nice, RGB 360, I couldn't buy him because I insist on 13/10mm and Glass reservoirs.

If someone decide to buy similar kit one advice to avoid to move case around.
1x Ball Valve, 1x T or X - Splitter, 2x Male to Male Rottary, 2x Plugs (Allan key recommended) and install on outlet port on lowest point.
In this scenario on Pump Outlet. X spliter will give you more option to continue in direction you want.
