ASUS is announcing the TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB today, new case fans that the company says offers exceptional airflow and polished aesthetics from every point of view, with an extra-thick 28 mm fan frame, PWM control, and an 8+8 double-layer LED array as some of its key features. The standard version offers static pressure at 3.3 mm H2O with 77.4 CFM airflow, while the reversed version is listed with 2.75 mm H2O with 76.3 CFM airflow.
Key features include:
- “Higher cooling performance with an extra-thick 28mm fan frame.”
- “Class-leading static pressure at 3.3mm H2O with high airflow.”
- “Exclusive double-layer LED Matrix design with individual 16 Addressable RGB LEDs.”
- “Personalized aesthetics with a flexible side pattern on the frame.”
- “PWM control with an ultra-wide RPM range that allows optimal cooling for all types of workloads.”
- “Aura Sync compatibility that lets you coordinate colors and lighting effects with a huge range of hardware.”
- “Available in black and white and in standard and reverse orientation to suit a variety of PC builds.”
A closer look at the white and black versions:
ASUS on its latest fans:
Next-gen refinements boost the cooling power of TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB fans. The redesigned fan blades are extra-wide, and are now housed in a 28 mm frame ― up to 12% thicker than the previous generation. Combined, these elements increase airflow by up to 77.4 CFM and static pressure by up to 3.3 mmH2O. When dialing in a tough workload, these 120 mm fans make sure that a build has the steady stream of cooling air that it needs.
TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB case fans are primed to perform, and they’re also built for quiet operation. At most, they produce 29 dB(A) of noise. In the heat of battle, users are unlikely to hear them at all.
When standard case fans are used as intakes in a panoramic chassis, they are not always displayed to advantage, as users can only see their sides and rear. This means that elements like structural supports, wires, and visible parts of the motor get the front-and-center treatment instead of RGB LED illumination and any front-facing decorations.
To solve this problem, TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB fans are available in both standard- and reverse-airflow editions. As a result, when looking inside their chassis, users will see the front side of the fan ― no matter if they are pulling cool air in or escorting warm air out.
Some competing reverse-airflow fans solve aesthetic concerns, but they offer significantly less airflow performance than their standard-airflow counterparts. Reverse-airflow TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB fans, on the other hand, offer 76.3 CFM of airflow and 2.75 mmH2O of static pressure, retaining much of the cooling power of their standard-airflow siblings.
Updated aesthetics make TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB fans a natural fit for panoramic builds ― or for any PC that offers more than a glimpse of its case fans. The ARGB lighting effects are bolstered with an 8+8 double-layer LED array that emits light evenly through each fan blade and frame.
Because many chassis installation points put the sides of a case fan on display, the TR120 ARGB brings the lightshow to the sides as well, via translucent panels that encircle the frame. The divergent patterns on each side interconnect in eye-catching ways, depending on how users line them up with adjacent fans, providing a fun way to personalize a PC.
Whether building a PC in a panoramic chassis that calls for a fleet of eye-catching and high-performance fans in standard- or reverse-airflow models, or simply outfitting a standard PC with ARGB fans that provide great airflow and static pressure ― the new TUF Gaming TR120 ARGB fans stand ready.
