SCRAP THIS IDEA CoolerMaster SickleFlow 120 ARGB or Corsair LL120RGB LED Fan + Controller Kit

[Martinr36]

Ok I'm thinking of adding a bit more bling to the desktop, so took a look on the upgrade configurator to see what the LED fan options were (existing 3 fans are Red), and it basically boiled down to these 2 options, the coolermaster kit has a choice of 3 or 4 fans & the Corsair 3 or 5 fans, both makes come with their controllers, so which option do folk think i should go with?

here's the spec of the PC:

Well although both these sets are in the upgrade configurator I can't have either as:

1) the case will only accept 2 additional fans (I'd planned on removing all the existing fans)
2) The motherboard isn't RGB compatible

Dang it.

Yep that's what I thought as well, seems pointless putting stuff on there that it then won't allow you to upgrade to.........

Well I've got more bling in there courtesy of Airgoo RGB LED lightstrip kit that I got off of Amazon
