303 riing Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I have 2 sets of the Riing Plus fans and absolutely love them. Look amazing! However, one of my six fans looks slow. Under light I can see shadow of fans spinning whereas the others I cant' tell that there is blades spinning. (does that make sense?) The software says it is running at 80% speed, like all the others, but why does it look different? I'm wondering if I can replace one fan? I spent $35/fan and don't want to have a faulty one in the system. Any feedback would help. btw, they are spinning at ~1250rpm so I can't take a photo to show you. But with human eye I can see the shadow of blades and it drives me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi, Check the connections on the fan to the controller. Swap the cable to another port, see if issue continue or stops. (Does the same fan do it no matter which port you know?) Also, maybe before you warranty it, swap the fan with another in the chassis and see if the "visual change" you are seeing follows or stays. If it concerns you, then contact us or your place of purchase to swap it out under warranty or what the retailer offers depending on your region and policy's. http://www.thermaltake.com/corporate.aspx?t=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped the fan to another port and it looks the same. I also tried swapping to a different location but it looks the same. Seems to spin slower, as I see shadow but software says it is functioning as should. I live in Taiwan. Is there a store I could take it to? The store I bought the packs from will direct me to Thermaltake for issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how Taiwan does the warranty process, our HQ is there, so I would just contact them directly to get the fastest help. http://www.thermaltake.com/corporate.aspx?t=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
