Segotep HQ12 PRO 120mm Fan Review

Epilogue

The Segotep HQ12 PRO 120mm has good build quality, ARGB lighting, and a highly usable daisy-chain feature. It is not highly affordable for a not-so-well-known brand, at least in the US market, but still, you cannot call it expensive at 11.5 dollars for its features. Performance-wise, it fails to impress, shown by the relatively low certifications that it got in airflow and static pressure on the Cybenetics Phi scale, both at Bronze levels.

Let’s now look at 25 dBA noise normalized performance. I chose 25 dBA because it is low enough not to annoy most users and high enough to allow for speeds that offer decent airflow and static pressure performance.

At 25 dBA, the fan’s airflow is low, notably lower than the other fans I used for comparison purposes. It performs a little better in static pressure, but still, it is on the last entries of the respective graph.

For reference, at the time of the review, the following prices applied in the US market (Amazon):

Thermalright TL-C12C: $12.9 – 3x fans combo
