These fans are quite expensive and they are in 3 pack. The cheaper thermaltake riing is not as good as plus? The fans are really beautiful. Are there others fans that are better? With rgb. Is it better to have a back chassi fan that are connected to the motherboard instead of a hub that follows with fans package.

I'd look at the Arctic P12 ARGB fans over anything Thermaltake with those 9 pins. I did a rebuild with those TT fans and it was disgusting sticking to using the hub.

Why are they so expensive? The design? If it is 9 pin to the hub i guess it must be a cable from the hub to Argb?

I'm guessing it's to keep people in their ecosystem and pay more. I don't know. I do know the P12's I mentioned did better.

I went with some bequiet! Light Wings LX 120 rgb fans a while back. And while researching rgb fans in general found that the TT rgb fan line up was utterly confusing and virtually impossible to find credible reviews on specific models. So they were scratched off the list almost immediately. I mean if there's a specific model you dig and you can find a good review, do it up! But as far as why some TT models are expensive...it all comes down to the materials and tech used apparently, blade type, bearing, amount/type of leds, ring or no ring etc... TTs line up is vast and the overlap is all over the place. I quickly grew tired of trying to differentiate.
GL!
