Antec Prizm X 120 ARGB review

Our Verdict

62%

Poor airflow and noise efficiency let down this otherwise decent package.

Limited to triple packs at the time of writing that will set you back around $50 / £50, the Antec Prizm X 120 ARGB offers three digital RGB fans that extend their bright and punchy lighting to the fan hub as well as an outer ring, offering a little more pizzazz than the Deepcool FC120.

They use standard 4-pin PWM fan connectors and 3-pin digital RGB connectors, so they’re easy to hook up to your PC and don’t have any proprietary cables. Antec also includes a hub and lighting controller with five fan and lighting ports, which can be controlled from your motherboard or other devices using single PWM and LED cables.

Antec Prizm X 120 ARGB performance

Noise was mid-table in this test, but a fair amount of vibration meant the sound quality was average. At full speed it was a poor result in terms of airflow and efficiency, though, sitting at the opposite end of the scale to the Deepcool FC120.

1/3

Dropping to 1,000rpm didn’t improve matters for noise and airflow, although its efficiency was marginally better. While the Antec’s speed was mid-table in our noise-normalized test, its airflow and efficiency were again near the bottom, while the Deepcool FC120 was cheaper and consistently in the top three.

Currently only available in a triple pack, these Antec fans are expensive, making them difficult to recommend for a broad selection of buyers.

Antec Prizm X 120 ARGB review conclusion

Poor airflow and efficiency let down the Antec Prizm 120 RGB, despite the good package. If you want affordable, decent-performing RGB fans, the DeepCool FC120s are far better and cheaper.
