DD´s Recommended

ASUS, with its first custom fan design in the form of the ROG STRIX XF 120, has clearly followed the path of high quality and balanced functionality. From our experience, it is a surprisingly powerful, quiet and actually universal 120mm model, which is definitely worth considering. I assume that we will probably see other models, including the RGB variant, or a larger 140mm version.

Approved

The Strix XF120's silent fan bearings are a balm to the ears during operation. Like Noctua fans, they are noiseless. Hand in hand with the very low friction also goes very low power consumption, as the force the motor has to overcome is only very small.

OPTIMAL BLEND OF AIRFLOW AND STATIC PRESSURE

ROG Strix XF 120 fan provides exceptional cooling performance in the crucial middle area of the P/Q curve. This means optimized performance with a minimized acoustic profile for both static pressure and airflow cooling applications, including as a PC case, radiator or CPU cooler fan.

MAGNETIC-LEVITATION TECHNOLOGY

The fan bearing in ROG Strix XF 120 features 360° MagLev technology to prevent slanting and friction. This technology delivers exceptional cooling performance, low noise and a long lifespan of up to 400,000 hours.

MagLev Fan
Regular Fan

MagLev Fan

360° MagLev technology stabilizes the rotor as it spins to prevent the fan from slanting or swaying. This minimizes friction, which reduces noise and protects the fan from wear and tear over time.
Regular Fan

After long-term use, friction from the shaft on a regular fan wears down the bearing, causing the fan to make more noise.

THERMAL PERFORMANCE

Patented 11° Tilt Design

Optimized airflow and superior thermal performance are critical in high-powered systems with compact form factors, and ROG Z11 delivers this with a patented interior layout that tilts the motherboard tray at an 11° angle, providing an additional 40 mm of space at the back of the motherboard. This additional space enhances heat dissipation around the CPU and graphics card, as well as the M.2 SSD that can be installed on the back of the motherboard. The layout also enables compatibility with a 3-slot graphics card without a riser cable and creates a striking visual display of components.

Optimal Airflow

ROG Z11 is built for optimized cooling performance. The entire design is conducive to efficient heat discharge from the case via the chimney effect and negative air pressure, which is generated by the fans expelling hot air at a faster rate than intake. With the choice of up to five 120 mm fans, or three 140 mm plus two 120 mm fans, users can maximize airflow and have the flexibility to customize.

AERODYNAMIC DESIGN

Fan-Blade Grooves

Precision-engineered grooves on the fan blades direct and focus air to flow smoothly along the blades for reduced flow separation. This increases fan performance and reduces vortex noise, improving overall acoustics.

Direct-Flow Frame

The angle and curvature of the frame struts are carefully designed to direct and channel airflow in a unidirectional, highly focused stream. This design minimizes turbulence and the focused airflow enhances static pressure.

Dynamic balance calibration treatment mark

DYNAMIC BALANCE PRE-CALIBRATION

The balance of each fan is manually tuned to minimize inefficiency and ensure optimal performance.

PRECISE, FLEXIBLE PWM SPEED CONTROL

An extensive operating range of 250 – 1800 rpm offers the precision and flexibility to maximize cooling performance across various workloads, and the fan automatically turns off when set to 0% PWM duty cycle for an ultralow noise profile when handling lighter workloads.
