Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Prismatic/SF120M ARGB Fan Review

Conclusion and Verdict

In conclusion, honestly these are great fans. They really push the air. The Prismatic features a brilliant sparkle diamond like RGB. The RGB glistens off of any surface. Prepare yourself for one of the better RGB shows with this fan. And if you check out the specs the 55 CFM isn’t bad at all. This fan features seven blades that provide the air pressure. Of course, moving that much air can cause stress on the rotating parts. Thankfully this fan features a Rifle bearing. The Rifle bearing has a two-tier sealing design that improves dustproof capabilities and prevents lubricant oil leakage. A rifle bearing is very similar to a fluid dynamic bearing.  The only downside to these are the price. They can be a little pricey but their longevity speaks for themselves. This fan is built for high pressure and has a very unique RGB.

The SF120M ARGB is a colorful take on the SF120M. These two fans are very similar and feature a few of the same specs. The fan is very functional and has a built in that allows you to change fan modes between High, medium, or low. Each of these settings feature their own profile. At max setting this fan has an amazing 62CFM. This fan is meant for some serious airflow. The OG was specifically designed for performance and now we have the same industrial performance with some smooth RGB. The RGB is brightly lit on the fan blades and has RGB accents around the four corners. The fan features a double ball bearing and that is a great selection for performance and longevity. The double ball bearing reduces friction. These aren’t as quite as the fluid bearings but you have to have an exposed case or really close to the fan to hear a difference.

These fans can be found on Amazon and other Various e-tailers for around:

 

Pros:

  • RGB
  • Great specs on both
  • Great Air flow on both (adjustable on the SF120M)
  • Anti-Vibration mounts on the SF120M
  • Warranty

Cons:

  • None

 

Final Thoughts:

Cooler Master has definitely improved on the SF120M with the ARGB. The added RGB is a nice upgrade from the original! The Prismatic has some of the most eye catching RGB you can find. Both of these fans have decent cooling capabilities while providing a nice light show.
