Not necessarily. There is the Airgoo on Amazon for example. Also looks like the same product. Down to even the mounts though Airgoo's have magnets in the hole where Phantek's mount hole is. But they have less LED. Like Phanteks is 56 LED for 2x 400mm and Airgoo is 42 for 2x 400mm. https://www.amazon.com/Addressable-Compatible-Gigabyte-Magnetic-Brackets/dp/B08DKPYZ7L/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=airgoo%2Bneon%2Bstrips&qid=1613381100&sr=8-6&th=1 lol That link is new. I went to Amazon to link the Airgoo I had bought where it specifically shows how many LED are in them and now that sale is there instead. Looks like they've now copied Phantek's fan frames too. I thought the same thing about factories with Airgoo but I ended up specifically asking Phantek, and Airgoo has zip to do with them. According to Phantek's support person anyways. lol Good ol Chinese copyright protection right there.

lol I know. I already commented over on that thread. :)
