When we last looked at the Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 Series, I appreciated these fans for their wide number of options in their lineup and solid performance. As such, I had similar expectations for the Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 ARGB 3IN1 fans today. After our tests, I can safely say all of the positives have remained with this triple-pack. Each fan is built well with a translucent impeller and the cables have braiding to protect the wires from getting nicked. I like the fact you can daisy chain the lighting connectors together. I appreciate the white version of the fans for a different look in order to fit in different color builds. I also like the included accessories for this package of fans, including a compact lighting controller and extension cables. In terms of execution, these SickleFlow 120 ARGB fans performed well with a consistent airflow and good static pressure characteristics. On the other hand, there are some things I would have liked to see improved upon. For one, I would have liked to see a slightly longer cable, even if an extension is included. I also think the SickleFlow 120 fans could still be improved in terms of noise, as they do spin a bit louder at full speed. Finally, I would have liked to see a few more colors and effects for the included lighting controller. Overall, I think these fans are a good balance between performance and noise output. At the end of the day, this trio pack of addressable RGB fans can be found for around $50 USD for either the black or white variant. This is approximately the same cost as buying three single SickleFlow 120 ARGB fans individually and would not include the extra accessories. As such, this Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 ARGB 3IN1 is a good offer for those wanting synchronized looks and solid airflow in their system.
