I am getting the Be Quiet 360 AIO which comes with the silent wings 4 pro, but no rgb. I can move them to some other case fan slots.

Kids would like some RGB, so looking at some 3 pack options, 1 set normal, 1 reverse. Normal will go on the radiator, the other reverse set on the bottom of an Asus GT502 Horizon.

Almost chose the ASUS TR120, but reviews not so good, and no full shroud, so air leakage.
The Be quiet light loops are rim lit. The light loop lx are too low air movement...in the upper 50s...want to be above 70 for the radiator.

Any suggestions for sub $100 for a 3 pack would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
you can get a 5 pack of thermalright rgb fans for ~$20 on amazon, theyre a good bang for buck. not reverse though, theyre few and far between...

I got a Be Quiet Silent Loop 3 360 for my PC. It's a great AIO. I tried to add 3 Phanteks D30-120 fans to my SL 3, but they were too thick. I ended up using the included Silent Wing fans. They work but look a bit out of place with the other Phanteks RBG fans in my PC.

Glad to hear something good about the loop 360. Was up in the air about my first AIO. Almost went with the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance, but the loop being serviceable convinced me.

As for fans, I just went with 2 three packs of these for now: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BNBW9BHX
Almost went with the 28mm thick Thermalright models, but held off with these 25mm. Those Phanteks are 30mm. :O
Figured they are cheap enough to get me going...will need more time to look up others...if these dont work as well.
Once installed, I will get an idea if i can go thicker in this case.

Got some Lian Li Infinity fans for my AIO cooler for my next build. May not be the best ever made for the purpose, but i like the mostly cable-free installation and they look nice. Going to go for a very minimal cable look next go around.

I was looking at those too, including the Lian Li AIO early on. I think most of these fans now can chain off each other for PWM and ARGB, so not too many cables visible, though the Lian Li, and one other one, can do it through their magnetic electrical connections....very cool.
 
Corsair has the ICue link fans which are similar, which i'm using on my current build. Very nice fans so far but wanted to try out the Lian li version. (And if need be i have extra link fans i can use if needed)

UPDATE: 2 of the 3 fans stopped spinning, last night. No idea what's wrong. Sent a message to BeQuiet tech support, but haven't heard back, yet. Probably just gonna RMA to Newegg.

Crap... thats not good. I assumed you have tried them individually on another header and still no luck. Seems to be a solid brand...touting German quality and engineering everywhere.

Mine arrived, but the case is still not here...so every other part still sitting in a box, staring and teasing me. So tempted to put it together like a test bench.

I got a return authorization from Newegg and sent the AIO back this morning. Ordered an Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 360 from Amazon. It was only $105 and will be delivered tomorrow.
