Antec Orbit 120 ARGB Black Fan

Antec Orbit 120 ARGB | High-Performance RGB Case Fan

The Antec Orbit 120 ARGB FAN Computer case 12 cm Black delivers powerful cooling with striking RGB lighting, making it an ideal upgrade for UK PC builders seeking both performance and visual impact. Its 120 mm size fits most standard cases, while intelligent PWM control and Fluid Dynamic Bearing technology ensure quiet, efficient operation.

Key Specifications

Intelligent PWM Control for Silent Operation

The Orbit 120 ARGB uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to adjust fan speed dynamically. Under light loads, the fan slows to near-silent levels, and in standby mode, it can stop completely when PWM duty cycle falls below 6%. This intelligent regulation balances cooling performance with noise reduction, ideal for both gaming and everyday use.

Enhanced Cooling with 28mm Thickness

At 28 mm thick, this fan offers a wider contact surface and larger air intake area compared to standard 25 mm models. The increased thickness improves airflow delivery, helping to maintain lower system temperatures during intensive tasks. Combined with its 9-blade design, the Orbit 120 moves more air efficiently through your case.

Infinity Mirror ARGB Lighting Effect

The Orbit 120 features a unique infinity mirror design at the centre of the blades, creating a captivating wormhole-like lighting effect. The curved front and rear covers enhance the visual depth, making it a striking addition to any RGB build. The 3-pin ARGB connector allows full customisation through compatible motherboards or controllers.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing for Quiet Longevity

Equipped with a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB), the Orbit 120 achieves smoother rotation with less friction than traditional sleeve bearings. This results in reduced vibration, quieter operation, and an extended lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. The bearing also includes anti-vibration rubber pads to further minimise noise transfer to the chassis.
