The ARGB version claims only 0.11A for the fan (why is this different?), and 0.4A for the 5V ARGB LEDS (1.32W and 2W respectively, 3.32W total, a little less than 75% the listed demand from the RGB variant).
The ARGB version claims 0.4A for the 5V ARGB LEDS (2.04W and 2W respectively, 4.04W total, about 91% of the RGB variant).

The ARGB solution is not only prettier, but requires 74.7% the wattage of the RGB. At 18 fans, that's a difference of 20.16W(!). I'd very much like to know why the ARGB variant is so much more efficient (there's no listed difference in performance). This solution does require both 12V and 5V power.


The [[Noctua]] NF-A14 is 0.13A (fan only), 1.56W. There is no daisy chaining.
