The static pressure of the Aorus 140 ARGB is supposed to be 2.18 mm H 2O for maximum speed. The larger model promises almost 50% higher flow rate (103 69.3 m³/h), but this naturally comes at the price of higher noise level, by 7.4 dBA. The Aorus 120 fan should achieve an airflow of 31.5-69.3 m³/h and a static pressure in the range of 0.37-1.48 mm H 2O. The speed ranges are the same across the two formats (800-1700 rpm). While the 120mm models have nine narrower (and more curved) blades, the 140mm has “only” seven blades, but with more surface area. The shape of the rotor does vary a bit with respect to the fan format though. The rotor blades have a centered wing on the leading edge, behind which is a row of lugs. However, Gigabyte is definitely not betting on visual effects alone. This may seem like an insignificant thing, but such, shall we say, added value in the eyes of ordinary consumers definitely increases the attractiveness. Only these from Gigabyte, for example, have ARGB LED lighting (i.e. As for the fans, they each tackled those in a slightly different way. Gigabyte thus “completes the circle” within the companies that compete fiercely in the field of motherboards and graphics cards with the Aorus 120 and 140 RGB fans. It is noteworthy that during this year fans under the brands Asus ROG ( Strix XF120), MSI MEG ( Silent Gale 12) have also made their debut. With gradual tuning, they have reached a level where they can be interesting even for demanding users. It was probably only a matter of time before Gigabyte started selling the fans from its liquid coolers separately. The motors have three-phase torque, a lubricant with supposedly superior durability, and finally, the rotor design looks sensible. And admittedly, this may not be a “fancier” hardware category (Aorus). News of this surfaced earlier this summer, at the launch of the new AIO coolers, but now it’s all in black and white. Gigabyte will sell the Aorus fans as standalone products. Gigabyte enters the fan market, with one 120 mm and one 140 mm model
