Summary
Of course, every customer has different premises and you get a very appealing performance in the case here. The Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm beats the reference in the ratio of flow rate and noise very clearly. If you reduce the speeds to more of the same flow rate, the Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm is even a tad quieter than its competitor.
On a radiator, no matter what the thickness, the overall positive image is maintained. You simply get more fan performance per dBA. This makes the Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm perfect for radiators without grilling the user’s ears.
So you can see that the fan not only keeps what the manufacturer promises, but for 16 euros it almost does more than you could have expected. Sure, even Alphacool had to make various compromises with the Rise Aurora 120 mm to keep the price from skyrocketing. But the current product shows very well that such a balancing act can also succeed.
Conclusion
Of course, we can’t provide any long-term experience, but we can attest that the Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm is neither a loud foamer, nor a prissy fan without bite, and performs more than what one might have expected at the price point. The idea of being able to operate a fan as quietly as possible with the widest possible speed range has been fully realised here. And yes, the RGB thing works out anyway. But the test of the Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm was all about its primary cooling characteristics. For optical effects there are also light strips if necessary. Buying tip? Sure.
