Question Can i change my CPU cooler fan to an RGB fan ?

[fuzeblocks]

Hello, i have a BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim 2, and i ask you because, i would like to know if i can change my cooler fan to an rgb fan with same dimensions, volts, watts...
I want to change it because my pc has rgb but not my cpu fan, and i can't buy another CPU cooler with RGB.

Can you help me ?
Thanks

it's a 92mm PWM fan, so in theory any 92mm PWM fan will fit since the hole spacing on a 92mm fan is standard, PWM is required for your PC to control the fan speed, so Yes you can.

but be quiet designs those fans to work with the cooler, they have specific performance and specs, any old RGB fan will probably preform less well. If you want to do this, look for a high end fan with good specs on airflow, expect it to be noisier and it will probably still reduce the effectiveness of the cooler, keep a close eye on the thermals

you can do it, as long as it has the same mounting holes

If you change to have LED, be careful not to lose airflow and you will have higher temperatures, so pay attention to cfm of the fan you get.

Which one do you recommend that has a fixed RGB?

for fixed rgb I meant, that: without argb socket, just a rainbow

If you find something else in this size and it has a molex power supply, there is nothing else that I know of.
I wouldn't do it because for a fan I would put a little more money and change the whole cooler if I wanted to have a led

basically all of them will have a ARGB connector as well as PWM power, examples:

if you haven't got an RGB port on your mobo you could get an ARGB controller to run it

Which aRGB controller can i choose ?

looks like your mobo doesn't have argb

I mean something like these:

there are better ones that cost more and have more outputs etc.. these will just run one rgb cable unless you buy splitters. But any 5v* ARGB controller that runs directly off your power supply, should work. They usually have buttons that let you choose the lighting pattern from a set of presets. it bypasses the need for an rgb compatible motherboard


*[edit]note: there are two main types of rgb connector,

4pin 12v

3pin 5v (ARGB meaning Addressable rgb)

it's very important to get this correctly matched when choosing hardware

both the fans I linked are 3 pin 5v, both the controllers I linked are also 3pin 5v so they should work with those fans. But it's not a given, sometimes there are manufacture issues with compatibility for random reasons even tho it's meant to be a standard. I would recommend reading up on it/watching some video's about which makes are compatible, there are some great YouTube tutorials. or just play it safe and get a controller and a fan that are the same manufacturer, I believe one of the fans and controller's I have linked are both by jonsbo, they should work together, but IDK if that fan is a high enough speck for your system? I haven't looked into it that much

looks like thermalright also do an argb controller:
