Chieftronic NOVA NF-1225RGB (120mm) Fan Review

Mike Sanders / 3 years ago

How Much Does it Cost?

Although retail options do appear somewhat limited at the moment (which isn’t overly surprising given that these only recently released), the Chieftronic NF-1225RGB fan is available to purchase now for a price in the region of £18.45. A figure we would consider exceptionally reasonable for a cooling fan offering this level of performance and ARGB functionality.

Performance

When it comes to performance, the Chieftronic NOVA NF-1225RGB fan really does have to be looked at from two perspectives. Firstly, as a cooling fan, it certainly swifts a decent amount of air while doing so within exceptionally tolerant levels of noise output. Is it absolutely silent? No. It isn’t overly noisy either and, overall, it’ll likely be at least as quiet as what you’re already using.

In terms of the ARGB lighting effects, they are amazing. Bright, vivid, powerful, and offering plenty of options to suit all tastes.

Should I Buy One?

ARGB cooling fans are definitely something of a growing trend for PC consumers at the moment and, as such, you’re not exactly struggling to find various models all touting for your business. In regards to the Chieftronic NOVA NF-1225RGB fan, however, it ticks all of the right boxes in terms of aesthetics and performance. Throwing in that exceptionally tempting price tag and, quite frankly, if you are looking for some new 120mm cooling fans, these definitely warrant your attention!

Pros

Excellent levels of airflow performance
100% suitable as intake/exhaust/CPU cooling fan replacements
Strong, bright, vivid, and varied ARGB lighting effects
Would almost certainly represent an upgrade (on every level) for most current or generic/pre-supplied cooling solutions
Exceptionally well priced
