SVC UV Reactive Quad LED Case Fans

Yes! It is another one of those LED fans that we see everyday in everyone’s computer. The only difference is manufacturer. SVC claims that their fans are different; in fact they say that these fans are “next generation QUAD fans”. We don’t know about generation differences about these LED fans but we can sure let you know what we think about them and if they are worth the money.

SVC UV Reactive Quad LED Case Fans Specifications

Note: Picture & Specs provided by SVC.

These fans are only available through SVC’s website. Like any other LED fans these fans comes in variety of colors to fulfill your need of a particular color. These fans contain 4 LED lights in a fan. This is very nice because the more LED’s you have the better and colorful your case will look. The fan material itself looks like acrylic instead of plastic. Since these are UV reactive fans they glow unimaginably inside your case giving it a more calmer and lighter look. Like SVC claims these fans have better design. These fans are better in the sense since they don’t have the old generation electrical tape design, which used to block light and looked hideous. SVC really improved the architecture of case fans. WOW! We never thought that one-day manufacturers would pay that much attention to a mere case fan but we guess the times have changed.

These fans come in their own little packets where they are securely seated. They come with 3-pin motherboard connector or a Molex connector. You can choose whichever connection you prefer. They also come with their own screws so you can easily screw them to your case without having to run to Home Depot to get some screws. It is basically a small fan installing kit that comes with everything. The thing about this product is that the fans come with pre-installed grills on them. We don’t really see this as a plus point. We personally hate it when there are grills on the fans. In our opinion, it just makes the fan look out of place. We would’ve preferred if SVC didn’t install these grills on the fans but the good part is that you can remove them yourself. We weren’t impressed with the wiring either. Even though SVC claims that these fans are next generation fans and they kept their word but at least they could’ve paid more attention to wiring. SVC should be aware that nowadays everyone wants his/her case to look as much clutter free as possible. That is why people nowadays are buying rounded cables instead of cruddy old gray ribbon like cables. These fans are very quite so if you have couple of them running in a case you won’t hear much noise.

Installation process is very easy on these fans. All you have to do is screw the fan{s} inside your case, connect the 3-pin connector to the motherboard or connect the molex connector to the power supply and you are done. Just sit back and enjoy your newly installed UV Reactive Quad LED case fans.

In Conclusion, SVC did kept their word by releasing these next generation fans. They light up the case very nicely because of 4 LED’s. They are very easy to install just like any other case fan. SVC includes everything that you will need. Having both Quad LED’s and UV reactive things included is a good thing. It provides an extra glow in the case. We loved the fact that these fans are quite since we hate noise and noisy fans. The best part is that the price is awesome. Couple things that we didn’t like about these fans are wiring and per-installed grills. SVC definitely could’ve improved wiring. And in our opinion everyone should get to have the choice as to whether they want the pre-installed grills or not. We hate the grills that are on these fans. They just make these wonderful looking fans so hideous but you can certainly remove them if you prefer. All in all these fans are quite nice except for couple of things that we mentioned. We recommend them.
