Alphacool Announces the Rise Aurora 120mm Fan

[btarunr]

Alphacool presents the Rise Aurora 120 mm, a powerful and PWM controllable fan that also features brilliant Digital RGB LED lighting. The Alphacool Rise Aurora fan allows for an impressive airflow of 118.9 m³/h and has high static pressure of 3.17 mm/H₂O. Due to this, the fan is ideally suited for operation on radiators or as a particularly strong case fan. Thanks to the 4-pin PWM connector, the fan can be controlled over the speed range from 0 to 2600 rpm. At 0% PWM control, the fan can be stopped completely. A soft start at start-up increases the life of the fan and reduces the risk of injury. At low speed, the fan is almost silent and provides significant energy savings.



The unique and classy lighting is created by 20 digitally addressable 5 V RGB LEDs distributed across the frame and on hub. Thanks to recessed diffusers, the light is evenly distributed, spot illumination is avoided, and individual LEDs are no longer recognizable. The digital aRGB LED lighting is controlled via a JST 3-pin connector. An adapter can be used to allow you to attach the fan to motherboards and controllers.

Having experienced many fans over the years, my two favorite brands are Noctua and Arctic. My old Arctic e34 duo cooler had two Arctic fans (forget the name) even at 100% they really weren't loud at all and they moved air good...

NZXT has my favorite fan for radiators/exhaust case though, the Aer-P. I love the blade design on it, very neat.

If the price is right these might be decent. Looks like a good implementation of RGB if your into that, lot of fans do a bad job of it.

Impressive specs and decent price. Would love a review comparing this to Noctua's A12x25 and Arctic's P12.

"At low speed, the fan is almost silent and provides significant energy savings."

yeah....like almost every fan? or product for that matter? or do they mean to say that at low speeds it pushes significantly more air then other fans?

@ZoneDymo
To be honest.... its a PR.... so you try to talk about every feature you have. Same with PWM..... its a feature but its harder to find fans without PWM than with PWM right now.

3.5W for LEDs is abusurd, in power budget of LEDs for single fan its possible to run pair of BeQuite or Noctua fans.

20 aRGB LEDs need some power ;-)

I agree. Good specs and cheaper than EK Vardar.
I would like to add if somebody reviews this fan maybe EK Vardar Evo 120ER could be added to the fans to compare to which has similar specs.
I own 6 of those Vardars fans on my radiators.

I also own a few Noctua NF-F12-PWM which are lying in cupboard now. They were replaced with EK Vardar on my rads.

The Vardar (2200rpm) has more performance than F12 (1500rpm). One thing that used to disturb me on F12 is that they had a particular humming noise tone at high speed which was annoying for my ears.
The Vardars has a different noise profile which is more comfortable to me even at 2200rpm compared to 1500rpm of F12.

All these RGB fans just look so cheap to me.

I don't have my Noctua's anymore. Never owned a Vardar, but those are nice I hear.

I've seen this same exact fan under a half dozen different brand names on aliexpress
