From the initial development of the very first ProArt PC case, we’ve made cooling a priority. Not cooling that users could add in later with additional purchases, but native cooling that builders could count on the moment they pulled their chassis out of the box.
This laser focus on cooling led to a wide variety of innovations: high-porosity front panel grills, internal deflectors that direct air toward heat-producing components, front-panel IR dust indicators, and more. Through our work to maximize cooling performance in modern PC cases, we’ve also made key advancements in fan design. Behind the scenes, we’ve been working to take the innovations we developed for the specialized preinstalled fans in ProArt cases and refine them into a standard 120mm design.
Today, we’re ready to reveal the results of that work: the ProArt PF120 case fans. Offering high-end static pressure and airflow, competitive acoustic performance at any RPM, a highly compatible 28mm-thick frame, and an understated visual design that aligns with your non-ARGB minimalist build, the ProArt PF120 case fans are in a league of their own.
Thermal and acoustic performance that’s ready to contend with the best
We have some bold claims to make about the ProArt PF120 fans, and we’re not blowing hot air here. (Well, kind of. You understand.) When we stack the ProArt PF120 case fans against the current leading 3000rpm case fan on the market, the ProArt models steal wins in every metric.
At the 3000rpm max fan speed, the ProArt PF120 fans boast 7.3mmH2O static pressure and 104.8cfm airflow, both higher than the leading competitor, all while producing less noise. Since the ProArt PF120 fans boast such high static pressure, they’re a great choice for upgrading the spinners on your AIO liquid cooler. These fans maintain pole position at 2000rpm and 1200rpm, too, ensuring that you get great cooling performance that smoothly ramps up with your most demanding PC workloads.
When we normalize for noise performance, we see the ProArt PF120 fans continue to stack wins. Under the same noise performance as competing models, these fans deliver high pressure-quantity optimization and better heat outtake efficiency.
When you’re comparing the acoustic performance of two case fans, there’s more to the story than just max dBA. The noise signature matters, too. Through precise motor control and optimized blade dynamics, ProArt PF120 fans minimize tonal shifts and maintain acoustic consistency even at peak speeds. When we analyze the effective energy of the sound pressure produced by these fans over time, we find their highest sustained sound pressure level, maximum instantaneous sound pressure value, and total amplitude span between the highest positive and lowest negative peaks are all lower than the competition.
All this, and the ProArt PF120 fans are actually thinner than the leading competitor. Their 28mm thickness allows for better compatibility and easier installation in a variety of contexts, such as installation on an AIO cooling radiator or in a small-form-factor chassis.
How the ProArt PF120 case fans achieve air superiority
ProArt PF120 fans achieve these chart-topping thermal and acoustic performance figures through a wide variety of innovations. It starts with fan blades constructed of a liquid-crystal polymer (LCP). This material is prized for its exceptional strength, minimal thermal expansion, and natural vibration dampening. Even during high-speed operation, these fan blades provide stable, precise performance.
The unique characteristics of these fan blades allowed us to design an ultra-narrow gap between the blades and frame. This precise, continuous 0.5mm gap enhances airflow efficiency while minimizing turbulence and noise.
To guarantee tight tolerances and long-term reliability, the ProArt PF120 fans are equipped with a bearing housing constructed entirely of brass integrated with a steel motor core and a thermally stable LCP frame. A three-phase and six-pole fan motor delivers smooth yet robust performance by operating at a lower frequency. This design minimizes noise and vibration, resulting in superior sound quality and enhanced operational efficiency.
Simplify your build process with our patented daisy-chain connector and more
Standard case fans require you to manage many wires, even if you select options that don’t require separate cables for controlling ARGB illumination. ProArt PF120 fans simplify installation and cable management through our patented embedded daisy-chain connectors.
In any installation point where you have more than one fan next to each other, you can link the fans together using our daisy-chain structure. The design acts as both a physical latch that holds the fans together securely and as a mechanism for passing along power and control signals. With ProArt PF120 fans, you’ll be able to enjoy the convenience of easy installation, fewer fan wires to manage, and likely fewer visible wires in your completed build.
Opt for a three-pack of the ProArt PF120 fans, and you’ll get a three-stage fan speed control. Built into the cable, this easy control lets you flip between 3000rpm, 2200rpm, and 1400rpm modes, giving you an effortless way to select between max performance, silent running, or balanced operation.
We think that the performance of the ProArt PF120 fans speaks for itself, so we designed them without attention-grabbing RGB LEDs. But we do want them to look the part whether you install them in a classic black case or a white-themed build, so we offer them in black or white colorways. Brass elements at the center offer a touch of personality.
The ProArt PF120 fans offer exceptional cooling and minimalist style
Some case fans are built to glow. The ProArt PF120 fans are built to perform. Their measured proportions, reinforced structure, and finely selected materials make them the leading choice for any PC build that requires high-end airflow and static pressure in an understated design.
