At their core, the RS120 ARGB fans are engineered for performance.
Each fan spins between 420 and 2100 RPM (± 10%), producing up to 72.8 CFM airflow and delivering static pressure as high as 4.15 mm-H₂O.
This combination makes them well-suited for both case ventilation and radiator or heatsink cooling — a versatility that appeals equally to air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.
Whether you’re pushing air through mesh panels, venting hot air from GPU/CPU zones, or driving airflow across dense radiator fins, these fans offer reliable and efficient airflow.
Beyond raw performance, the RS120 series is intelligent about balance.
The fans use a Magnetic Dome bearing, which reduces mechanical friction and noise — resulting in smoother, quieter operation, and enhancing longevity.
At low system loads, the PWM control can trigger a Zero RPM mode, where fans stop entirely, delivering a virtually noiseless environment when full cooling power isn’t required.
For users who value silence during idle or light tasks, this is a major advantage.
Aesthetics and build convenience are also central to the RS120 ARGB’s design.
Each fan is equipped with 8 ARGB LEDs. With a single +5V ARGB connector on the motherboard and standard RGB control software (such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock RGB, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion), you can synchronize fan lighting across all three fans — and integrate seamlessly with other ARGB components like strips, coolers, or even case lighting.
The result is a clean, cohesive, customizable RGB setup that enhances the look of any build.
Installation is straightforward and streamlined.
Thanks to daisy-chainable 4-pin PWM and +5V ARGB connectors, you can hook up all three fans without using multiple headers or cluttering your build with cables and hubs.
This not only makes the assembly process cleaner, but also improves airflow inside the case by reducing cable obstruction.
Included in the pack are mounting screws and three pre-wired fans — everything you need to get started right out of the box.
In real-world use, the RS120 ARGB fans suit a wide range of use cases.
For a gaming build, the fans can maintain stable airflow under heavy load while adding dynamic lighting to match the gaming aesthetic.
For a workstation or creative PC, the Zero RPM mode helps maintain a quiet environment during less intensive tasks.
For liquid-cooled systems, the high static pressure ensures efficient flow through radiators.
And for those building compact or constrained cases, the standard 120 mm size and flexible connector setup make these fans compatible with most cases and layouts.
Finally, Corsair backs the RS120 ARGB Triple Pack with a 5-year manufacturer warranty — an assurance of quality and longevity.
For builders seeking a balanced mix of airflow, cooling performance, visual flair, and ease of installation, the RS120 ARGB fans stand out as a well-rounded, reliable choice.
