ASUS has once again delivered a standout addition to the PC cooling market with its new Prime MR120 series case fans. Blending performance, aesthetics, and low noise, the MR120 series is a compelling choice for gamers and PC builders looking to upgrade both style and cooling efficiency in their setups. Whether you’re chasing RGB brilliance or just want better airflow without the noise, ASUS has ticked all the right boxes here.
The MR120 series includes two versions: Standard and Reverse. Both share a premium 28mm-thick frame that not only gives them a sturdy, robust feel but also enables wider blades. This design helps generate stronger static pressure, which is essential when pushing air through radiators or tightly packed cases. The result? The MR120 Standard model offers up to 58CFM airflow and 1.7mmH₂O static pressure—impressive for a fan that barely breaks a whisper at 21dB(A). The Reverse model, ideal for interior-facing setups with exposed fan blades, maintains similar performance (58CFM and 1.38mmH₂O) while keeping noise levels low at just 23dB(A).
ASUS Prime MR120 Fans – RGB Lighting
But what really sets the Prime MR120 fans apart is their bold and brilliant lighting. Each unit features 20 addressable RGB LEDs arranged in a double-layer Matrix design, delivering eye-catching illumination from all angles. A glowing ring around the blades pairs with a square frame of light to create a stunning effect—whether you’re mounting the fans intake or exhaust. And with full support for ASUS Aura Sync via Armoury Crate, synchronising your fan lighting with other components in your rig is seamless.
Aesthetically, ASUS hasn’t left anyone behind. The Prime MR120 fans come in black or white, and buyers can choose between single or triple packs depending on their build needs. The Reverse model is especially ideal for windowed PC cases where users want the best visual impact without compromising airflow.
For those looking to go all-in, ASUS is also bundling these fans with some of its latest chassis offerings. The TUF Gaming GT502 Horizon ARGB case includes MR120s pre-installed and features a panoramic glass design for maximum component visibility. Alternatively, the Prime AP202 ARGB brings a more minimalist and curved-glass look, also making use of MR120 fans to light up the internals.
In short, ASUS’s Prime MR120 series is more than just another RGB fan—it’s a well-engineered cooling solution that looks as good as it performs. Quiet, powerful, and packed with lighting options, it’s an excellent pick for PC builders who don’t want to compromise between form and function.
