https://www.techpowerup.com/287214/gigabyte-intros-aorus-argb-fan-series GIGABYTE introduced the AORUS ARGB Fan series. Sold in single-piece kits, these fans come in two variants based on size—120 mm (model: GP-AR120RFAN) and 140 mm (GP-AR140RFAN); and are visually characterized by eight ARGB LEDs located in the hub, diffused by the frosty-white impellers. The frame is back, with anti-vibration rubber padding along the mounts. The triangle-edged fan-blades are designed to maximize axial airflow, which can be traded in for lower speeds. The motors feature six slots (sets of winding), and a sleeved bearing with "graphene nano lubricant," which GIGABYTE claims offers 15% lower noise levels and double the lifespan than double ball-bearing designs.
The AORUS 120 ARGB Fan turns at speeds of 800 to 1,700 RPM, with airflow ranging between 18.52 to 40.85 CFM, pressure of 0.37 to 1.48 mm H₂O, and noise output of 7.3 to 28.6 dBA. Its sleeved bearing is rated for 73,500 hours. The AORUS 140 ARGB Fan, on the other hand, does the same 800 to 1,700 RPM, but thanks to its larger impeller, puts out 30.3 to 60.64 CFM of airflow, 0.59 to 2.18 mm H₂O pressure, and 8.9 to 35.8 dBA noise output, with the same 73,500-hour bearing lifespan. Both fans feature 4-pin PWM inputs for their main function, and 3-pin ARGB for the lighting. GIGABYTE is backing both with 3-year warranties. The company didn't reveal pricing.
Not a bad looking fan and the 3 year warranty is noteworthy.
