A good case fan moves air quietly and fits your build and your lighting. Here is what to check before you buy, and how the 120mm fans we stock in Kuwait compare.
Airflow, speed and noise
Airflow is measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), and more is better for cooling, but a fan that is loud at full speed is no fun to live with. All of our fans are 120mm. The AsiaHorse DAWN is rated up to 71 CFM at 900–1850 RPM, the COSMIQ Interforce Magic Mirror up to 68.5 CFM at about 23 dB(A), and the Nyota Pro and the single Nyota (white) 61.5 CFM. The Nyota Ultra models are rated at roughly 58.5 CFM.
PWM speed control
A 4-pin PWM fan lets your motherboard raise and lower its speed with temperature, so it stays quiet at idle and spins up under load. The DAWN, Nyota Ultra and Nyota Pro are PWM fans. Plug them into a 4-pin motherboard fan header or a PWM fan hub.
ARGB lighting: check the header
These fans use 5V 3-pin addressable RGB (ARGB). Connect them only to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header or ARGB hub, never to a 12V RGB header, which can damage the lighting. If your motherboard has few headers, the AsiaHorse UMBRA ARGB Hub gives you 10 independent 5V 3-pin channels with lighting software.
Daisy-chain design and bearings
Several models, including the Nyota Ultra, let you connect fans in series with the included connectors, which cuts down on cable clutter. The fans use hydraulic or hydro-type bearings (the COSMIQ uses a fluid dynamic bearing), which are chosen for quiet running.
Quiet cooling with a mirror look: the COSMIQ Interforce Magic Mirror.
Balanced airflow and PWM control: the Nyota Pro.
Clean cabling in a multi-fan build: the daisy-chain Nyota Ultra fans plus a hub.
Quick airflow tips
Most cases work well with fans pulling cool air in through the front and pushing hot air out of the back and top. Check the arrows on the fan frame for the airflow direction, and clean dust filters regularly.

Frequently asked questions
How many case fans do I need?
It depends on your case and parts. A common starting point is two fans pulling air in at the front and one pushing air out at the back, then adding more if your temperatures are high.
Do I need a fan hub?
Only if you have more fans or lighting devices than your motherboard has headers. The AsiaHorse ASH-S1 hub supports up to nine PWM fans and nine 5V 3-pin ARGB devices.
Do you deliver in Kuwait?
Yes. Gallexa ships to customers in Kuwait, and orders over 50 KD get free shipping.
