Hello, my case fans are starting to make some noise and I'm looking to replace them as a set. I have a CM 212 rgb black edition fan on my cpu. What fans would you recommend to use in conjunction with it that come with a controller?

Well, I could purchase separately - First issue was that I bought at the tail end of lockdown, because trying to find the components separately was crazy expensive and I was able to buy a prebuilt with a 3060ti at the time for around 1200 - priced out I was looking at over 1600. So the fans they included are I believe apevia brand, and the cooler they used was garbage and would overheat under light load. I immediately threw the CM 212 RGB black ed. on it, which has a 4 pin 12v RGB. The case fans are 3 pin 5v ARGB and I can't sync them to keep the color the same. So now that the bearings are going out and making humming noises it's time to upgrade them to one that I can put all of the fans/lights on the same controller. I probably should have been more detailed in my original post, but I was sitting here with a migraine.

So ultimately I need to either find a controller that will sync both or find a controller and fans that are 12v. Right now there are 3 exhaust fans on the case and one pushing through the heat sink. I have room for 6 case fans and 2 on the cooler - which is overkill. It looks like the 2nd one you posted would suit the 12v need and keep the case fans to 3 and CPU cooler fan all synced up. I'll research that a bit, thank you!

Answers are also going to be extremely vague.

All we know is that youre looking for some fans that come with what I assume is an RGB/A-RGB controller.

We dont know the what size of fan you need and you just list "cyberlink" in system specs so theres not a whole lot to work off.

Measure your fans and do some googling. Sometimes controllers can be picked up separately and some will work with generic RGB fans. Some fans might even work with your current controllers.
