ASUS ROG STRIX XF120/XF120A1/BK//

Overview

The ASUS ROG STRIX XF120/XF120A1/BK// is a 120 millimeter cooling fan designed to provide strong thermal performance while maintaining near silent operation. It is ideal for gaming towers, custom liquid cooling loops, and content creation workstations where quiet airflow is essential. With a noise level as low as 22.5 dB(A) and a wide PWM speed range from 250 to 1800 RPM, this fan adapts smoothly to varying cooling demands.

Key features

• Magnetic levitation bearing reduces friction and wear, extending the fan’s lifespan to an estimated 400,000 hours of continuous use.
• Wide PWM control range allows the fan to spin slowly or stop completely during low workloads, preserving a quiet environment.
• Aerodynamic blade and frame design guides air efficiently while minimizing turbulence for effective cooling.
• Anti-vibration pads at each corner absorb motor vibrations to prevent rattling and buzzing noises.
• Delivers balanced airflow and static pressure suitable for both open case ventilation and restrictive radiator channels.
• Easy installation compatible with standard 120 mm mounting locations on cases, radiators, and CPU coolers.
• Backed by a five-year warranty, reflecting ASUS’s confidence in the fan’s durability and reliability.

Key specs

• Fan size: 120 millimeters
• Speed range: 250 to 1800 RPM (PWM controlled)
• Noise level: 22.5 dB(A) under load
• Airflow: up to 62.5 cubic feet per minute (CFM)
• Static pressure: 3.07 mm H2O
• Bearing type: magnetic levitation
• Estimated bearing life: 400,000 hours

Performance and reliability

The magnetic levitation bearing technology significantly reduces friction by suspending the rotor in a magnetic field, which not only lowers noise but also extends the fan’s operational life. This makes it a dependable choice for users who require long-term, uninterrupted cooling performance. The fan’s ability to stop completely at zero PWM duty cycle helps maintain silence during idle periods, while its smooth ramp-up ensures efficient heat dissipation when system temperatures rise.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward with the standard 120 mm form factor, fitting most cases, radiators, and CPU coolers without modification. The integrated anti-vibration pads at each mounting corner reduce noise caused by motor vibrations, ensuring a quiet setup without additional dampening accessories. This fan is suitable for both first-time builders and experienced enthusiasts looking to upgrade their cooling solutions.

Ideal uses and environments

This cooling fan works well in gaming PCs that demand strong airflow without distracting noise, as well as in professional workstations where quiet operation is critical during recording or streaming. It also fits nicely in home theater PCs where silent performance enhances the viewing experience. Its balance of airflow and static pressure makes it versatile enough for open-air cases and liquid cooling radiators alike.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
