Thermaltake SWAFAN 12 RGB

If you’ve never experience the frustrations of wondering how to implement a reverse “pull-push” configuration for the cooling fans, without making it look odd or ugly on their chassis and radiators … then you probably won’t understand why this product exist. For those who do … then you’re in for a real TREAT! These are the cooling fans you’ve all been waiting for. A cooling fan that offers interchangeable fan blades allowing you to REVERSE the airflow! It’s perfect for mounting on chassis and radiators to give you that “pull-push” configuration without having to worry whether your system will be looking odd or out of place.

Thermaltake impressed with the TOUGHFAN 12 fans we saw last year, allowing the company to put forth another contender into the high performance sector for the PC watercooling space. It then went further in putting out regular and turbo versions rated for different max speeds, and then also released different colored versions that in itself made the fans worth checking out. But there's a strong argument to be made that Thermaltake is more famous for its RGB fans, especially having introduced the world to massive amounts of LEDs and lit-up fan rings galore. I haven't had much experience with the Tt Riing fan lineup to date, but then came an announcement about a new RGB fan that did something different.

These are, without a doubt, some of the nicest fans money can buy at the moment. Building upon the excellent development seen with Thermaltake cooling products such as the Riing Trio and Quad, however, having the option to reserve the fan blades is clearly a highly attractive proposition. As noted right at the beginning of this review, it was the feature that most garnered my attention and trying it out here, I can categorically 100% confirm that it’s not just easy to do, but offers solid levels of performance regardless of how its configured.
