Technical Deep Dive: The Engineering Behind the AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN

The AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN FAN BLACK is a marvel of modern fan technology, a result of GIGABYTE’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of PC hardware. Every aspect of its design has been optimized to provide a perfect balance of high airflow, strong static pressure, and quiet operation.¹

The EZ CHAIN Connection: A Revolution in Cable Management

The single most revolutionary feature of the AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN is its innovative daisy-chain design.² This is a game-changer for PC builders who are tired of wrestling with a tangled mess of cables.

• Simplified Installation: The EZ CHAIN system uses a unique slide-in interlocking mechanism that allows you to connect up to 10 fans from a single header.³ This dramatically reduces the number of cables required, simplifying the build process and saving you a significant amount of time and effort.⁴

   

• Seamless Power and ARGB Transmission: The interlocking design seamlessly transmits both power and Addressable RGB (ARGB) signals from one fan to the next.⁵ This eliminates the need for separate fan and RGB hubs, which not only reduces cable clutter but also makes for a more efficient and reliable system.

   

• Unparalleled Aesthetic: By minimizing the number of visible cables, the AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN allows you to create a clean, minimalist, and professional-looking build. This is especially important for cases with tempered glass side panels, where your build is on full display.

Advanced Fan Blade Design: Performance and Quiet Operation

The AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN features a brand-new fan blade design that has been meticulously engineered to simultaneously increase both airflow and static pressure while reducing noise.⁶

• Optimized Airflow and Pressure: The unique blade shape, with a rounded hub and serrated edges, is designed to enhance the fan’s compression ability and increase the overall proportion of airflow.⁷ This results in a high airflow of 60 CFM and a strong static pressure of 2.75 mmH₂O, making it ideal for both case cooling and use on liquid cooling radiators.⁸

   

• Reduced Noise and Vibration: The serrated fan blade edges are not just for aesthetics; they are engineered to break up the airflow, which reduces noise and minimizes vibration.⁹ This results in an incredibly quiet operation, with a maximum noise level of just 29 dBA, ensuring a peaceful computing experience even under heavy load.¹⁰

   

Hydro-Dynamic Bearing (HDB): The Pinnacle of Reliability

The AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN utilizes a Hydro-Dynamic Bearing (HDB), a technology that provides the perfect blend of quiet operation and long-term durability.¹¹

• Low Friction and Vibration: HDBs operate by using a thin film of oil to separate the moving parts, effectively eliminating metal-on-metal contact. This results in significantly lower friction, which reduces noise and wear, and extends the lifespan of the fan.
• Extended Lifespan: The low friction and self-lubricating properties of the HDB provide a long Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of over 40,000 hours, ensuring the fan will run reliably for years to come.¹² This makes the AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN a sound long-term investment.

   

Broad RPM Range and Universal Control

The AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN operates within a versatile speed range of 600 to 2000 RPM, giving you complete control over your cooling performance.¹³

• PWM Control: The fan supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, allowing your motherboard or fan controller to precisely adjust the fan speed based on your system’s thermal needs.
• GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) Software: The fan is fully integrated with GIGABYTE’s powerful GCC software, which allows you to customize not only the fan speed but also the vibrant ARGB lighting.¹⁴ This provides a centralized hub for controlling your entire GIGABYTE ecosystem.

   

The Black Aesthetic: A Vision of Sophistication

The AORUS 120 EZ CHAIN FAN BLACK is a statement of sophistication and power. The sleek black frame and fan blades, combined with the vivid ARGB lighting, create a stunning visual that is both elegant and eye-catching.¹⁵

• Vibrant ARGB Lighting: The Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting can be synchronized with other devices, creating a unified and dynamic lighting display.¹⁶

   

• Customizable Glow: Through the GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC) software, you can customize colors, patterns, and effects to match your unique style, whether you prefer a subtle glow or a vibrant light show.
