MSI is announcing today the latest series of fan products, the cableless fan MPG EZ120 ARGB, which features a magnetic design and reduces the effort and complexity of PC assembly. The use of MSI exclusive JAF 7-pin header, which has integrated ARGB and system fan headers, benefits the exertion of cable management. There are 33 LEDs well-arranged on the fan blade and frame; it is the best choice to decorate a panoramic-style chassis.

The MPG EZ120 ARGB takes convenience to the next level. With its Magnetic Connector Blocks, connecting your fans is easier than ever. These blocks deliver power and signal and enhance the connection between the fans. Each fan frame is also embedded with magnets, making the assembly process a breeze.





The MPG EZ120 ARG bearing is a new type of fluid dynamic bearing that optimizes the original bearing design with an extra fixing nut. The advanced design reduces vibration, decreases noise, and enhances durability. Even more, the copper tube has excellent resistance to scaling, high mechanical strength, and lifetime resistance.



The MPG EZ120 ARGB is designed to excel in any scenario. Whether using an AIO liquid cooler that requires high air pressure or focusing on chassis heat dissipation that requires high airflow, this fan is up to the task. Its 9-blade design can achieve a maximum air pressure of 2.56 mmH2O and a maximum airflow of 73.82 CFM, ensuring your rig stays cool under any circumstances.



There are versatile options to choose from. The 3-fan package includes a fan control hub and daisy-chain cable to provide more flexibility and expansion. The hub features 4 expansion ports and supports up to 18 pcs of MPG EZ120 ARGB fans, offering complete expansion and maximizing airflow and lighting demands simultaneously. The daisy-chain cable connects fans on different sides of the chassis, which helps cable routing of the rear I/O fan in case there's no suitable fan header on the motherboard.

Old model with cable, what clones they are?
Overall design language is quite similar to D30 where these also share method of connecting fans between each other(also unlike D30 they dont have 2nd connector to hold fans in place which is a design oversight).

Edit: Looking at product page they dont specify power draw for the fan(pretty decent rated current draw of .25A) and that value is present only in manual.

I'm curious as to whether that hub is "smart" or "dumb", i.e. does it just mirror the lighting from one fan across all of them, or are you able to control the lighting across several fans, like a bank of three?

I feel like the software capabilities are what really differentiate RGB fans, because if the fans don't come with their own software and you're forced to use the software that comes with the motherboard, you're probably juat mirroring the RGB across all the fans and not really getting anything special out of it...
