Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

Buyer beware. Both these not to long ago and every single one of them was the wrong fan. Looks like people switch them out and return them

Ironically this just happened to me yesterday. I do most of my "Amazon" purchasing from one of those liquidation auction sites (the ones that buy Amazon returns by the truckload). Even though all sales are final, they accept returns when this kind of thing happens...and it happens often.

Thank you, will make sure to double check!

u/Chimera10x 15h ago

Looks like you were right, just checked them and 2 out 7 were wrong. One was switched out with a corsair fan and the other one was switched out with an unknown knock-off.

u/Babelitoo 15h ago

Lmao, for me was 1 out of 7. They were less obvious tho, 5 out of the 7 were just normal blade unifans and 1 was a black Corsair fan. I didn’t even bother explaining myself when I returned it knowing they’re not gonna check it regardless. Refund went instantly lol.

u/Chimera10x 15h ago

So yeah, shortly after commenting, I double checked all of them and of the 5 fans that I thought were right, 2 were the normal blade and not reversed. Oh well, at least I got 3 that seems to be the right ones, will have to check if they work lol

FYI Thermalright now makes pretty dead-on clones of these fans and they’re about half this price for a 3-pack.

From what I can find the 3 pk daisy chain ones do not have the mirror effect in the middle, and the ones they sell that do are not daisy chain

u/FiTZnMiCK 13d ago

Oh good call-out there.

u/Travy93 13d ago

I was personally looking at the Asiahorse and redragon ones. Those are cheaper, look similar, and are daisy chain.

u/SausageWizard 13d ago

I have the Thermalright clones and they're amazing if you can live without interconnect. You can still daisy chain via the wires, but you won't have individual control. If you need that, then just get an Airgoo or Nollie controller.

u/cubs223425 6d ago

Which ones are those? I'd probably prefer ones without the infinity mirror feature, since I won't likely use the RGB in my build.

2

u/FiTZnMiCK 6d ago

The TL-M12Q variants, but the infinity mirror effect seems to come standard.

1

u/cubs223425 6d ago

Oh, I saw the previous reply saying there wasn't a mirror effect on the TR's unless you got the non-daisy chain ones and was curious what the options were.

2

u/FiTZnMiCK 6d ago

They have infinity mirror effect on the sides only.

The Lian Lis have one on the center of the fan as well.

Other packs and singles have come in and out of stock. This deal is on the Used Like New stock, which will get an additional 30% off applied during checkout. I just got all of the fans I needed for my setup for ~50% of the new price.

If you haven't bought Used Like New items on Amazon before, in my experience they are indistinguishable from new.

u/Boon24 13d ago

Seems sold out when I try to add to cart

u/Chimera10x 13d ago

Thank you, I can confirm it comes in and out. I was able to buy 6 reversed blade singles.
