ASUS cooling fan, 28 mm frame
Product description
When a PC build needs another fan for airflow and a bit of coordinated lighting, the ASUS Prime MR120 is a black, single-pack option with PWM speed control. Its frame is 28 mm thick, and the lighting runs along both sides, so it’s aimed at builders who want the fan to contribute to the look of the system as well as its cooling setup.
It has a listed noise figure of up to 21 dB(A) and a maximum speed of 1600 RPM. Those details help set expectations, but they don’t establish how it will sound or perform in every case.
Technical details
The MR120 combines a 28 mm extra-thick frame with PWM control and a stated speed of up to 1600 RPM. The product description also lists 20 addressable RGB LEDs in a circular design, with lighting on both sides of the frame. Aura Sync compatibility is included for coordinating colours and effects with compatible hardware.
It is a black single-pack fan. The listing describes the operation as quiet, with noise up to 21 dB(A), treat that as a product specification rather than a guarantee of the noise level in your own PC. Fan placement, other components and the overall build can affect what you hear.
Compatibility and requirements
Aura Sync is the relevant lighting compatibility named in the available details. The description doesn’t specify fan dimensions beyond the 28 mm frame thickness, mounting details, connector type or case-clearance requirements. Check those against your build before choosing it, frame thickness alone doesn’t confirm that a fan will fit a particular location.
PWM control is also listed, but the details don’t identify a specific motherboard header or provide installation instructions. If you’re planning to link the lighting or speed control to existing components, make sure your setup supports the connections you intend to use rather than assuming Aura Sync compatibility covers every part of installation.
Usage tips
Think about where this fan will sit in your airflow plan before buying. For example, if you’re adding a visible fan to a case, the dual-sided frame lighting may suit a layout where the illuminated sides can be seen. If the fan will be tucked out of view, its lighting may matter less than its fit and intended airflow role.
PWM control gives the fan speed flexibility up to the stated maximum, which is useful when you want speed to respond to different workloads. It’s a good option if you’re building around addressable lighting and want a single fan with speed control. It may not be the best option if your priority is a confirmed fit for a particular case or a known connector specification, since those details aren’t provided here.
Buying questions
Is this a multi-fan kit?
No. The product name identifies it as a Single Pack, so the listing describes one fan.
Can its lighting work with Aura Sync?
Aura Sync compatibility is stated, allowing coordinated lighting effects with compatible hardware. The available details don’t name specific components or explain the required connections.
What speed and noise figures are listed?
The fan is specified at up to 1600 RPM, with noise up to 21 dB(A). These figures don’t predict the exact result in every PC build.
Before you buy it
This ASUS fan makes most sense if you want one PWM-controlled fan with addressable, dual-sided lighting and your build already supports the connections you need. Its thicker 28 mm frame is worth factoring into placement, and the listing doesn’t provide enough fit information to confirm a specific case installation. If a guaranteed fit or detailed connector information is essential, choose only after matching those requirements to your system, if lighting coordination and a single-fan addition are the priorities, the MR120’s stated features are more directly relevant.
