Both are 120mm and should work.

Getting the RGB to work may require a controller specific to those fans.

a controller?

so they wont light up?

Also, the fans for a CPU cooler are a higher grade than a cheap case fan. You will want to replace the stock fan with another fan designed for radiators or cpu coolers, otherwise you may have reduced cooling performance.

Those are addressable RGB fans, can ways tell by the rainbow. Rgb fans only change colors in one solid state, it's either all red or all blue or green etc. Argb require a specific setup, some sort of controller module. Many upper grade motherboards have that included, but lower grade are still using only 5050 RGB for 12v lighting strips.

If those fans do not come with some sort of USB plug-in module and software, or a remote controller box, then they will light up, in their default colors only, which is usually red, and stay that way.

Otherwise there shouldn't be an issue re-using the EVO clips as they are standard 120mm mounts.

I see,they dont come with any usb or controller or software.
I have an asus rog maximus 5 formula

So it is safe to use them on my motherboard with no controllers?
Just plug and go

They are not RBG, means they will light up as pictured without any controller but the lights are not adjustable.

According to the link, it's a blue led, but that's not what the pictures show, they show multiple colors, argb rings...

But for $3.99, it's a fan. Now since they kinda misled what you get with the picture's, I'd be wondering as to the veracity of their claims that it's static pressure optimized for heatsinks.

 

[Blos88]

thank u

so no problem when i plug them into my mother board right?

 

[Blos88]

i will have to try once they arrive maybe use them for better cooling on my case and maybe leave the current tt blue fan on the cpu.

besides where i live, the price of them is like 15 bucks or maybe more, so we will see thank you all

For $3.99 they are just "rainbow" lights, not any kind of RGB.

Not even rainbow.

Basic fans are enough for an Evo 212 the stock fan is pretty mid range between air flow and static pressure, and being a non overclocking CPU it doesn't take much air to cool with that much of a cooler. But the other thing is, is your current fan 3 pin or 4 pin?

 

[Blos88]

3 pin the fan that is on the cooler, and the stock fan for the evo 212 died so i have that blue tt on the cooler and a generic smaller 4 pin on the rear with the case open

 

[Wrecker75]

ok, that fan will do the same as the tt fan. Older motherboard should have DC speed control, but if the tt is running full speed all the time the new one will also.

ty all i will wait until arrives
