Hi guys,
Didn't really think I was going to post anything about my experience with the Gamdias products but the more I "use" my fans and look at my fiance using her headset the more I feel I need to share the crappy experience we've had.
Products in use:
- Gamdias Aeolus M1 1403R 140mm RGB Case Fans
- Gamdias Aeolus M1 1204R 120mm RGB Case Fans
- Gamdias Hephaestus E1 Stereo Sound Gaming Headset
So I bought a new NZXT H500i case and decided to give the Gamdias fans a go as they looked cool and are "cheap".
The case uses 3 x 140mm fans and 1 x 120mm fan for the exhaust/back extraction fan.
Initially I bought the 140mm fan pack with 1 x additional Gamdias 120mm RGB fan separately. Unfortunately only after finishing the build and connecting the fans to the control unit did I notice the single fan that I bought doesn't use the same connector.
So what I initially thought were cheap fans turned out to be very expensive as I needed to buy a 120mm fan pack just for one fan...
After buying the extra fans and finishing the build everything work fine and looked good for a few weeks but as time went buy I noticed that one of the LED's on the bloody 120mm fan started to give trouble as it would flicker and sometimes just die or change into the wrong colour.
Fast forward a few months later and I have fans with a few dead LED's as well as the controller not working as it should. I will turn on or change the colour/speed of the fans with the remote and three fans will change and the other one just remains the same.
A friend of mine bought the same fans at the time and his remote just completely stopped working.
So that is it for the fans however, as for the headset it's a different story.
I bought a set of Gamdias Hephaestus E1 Stereo Sound Gaming Headset for my fiance and the reason she wanted these instead of something a little more expensive was purely because of the RGB.
They are terrible! The sound quality isn't too bad and she's not gaming for hours at a time but she's unable to use them as the planned.
The headset makes a constant whining noise when the RGB is on and it is extremely irritating. When you switch it off through the software the noise is gone but that is defeating the purpose!
My recommendation: If you or someone you know are looking at buying their products because they are fairly cheap, DON'T.
We are completely dissatisfied with their products and will definitely not buy something from this brand again.
Let me know if you have a different experience with your Gamdias products down in the comments or perhaps you feel the same?
Cheers.
