Cooler Master Launches Flagship Mobius 120 OC Fan

[btarunr]

Cooler Master, the high-performance PC component and peripherals brand, today launched its top-of-the-line case fan, the Mobius 120 OC. Packed with innovative features, the Mobius 120 OC not only delivers near silent operation, but also offers complete control over its operation.

The Mobius 120 OC carries on the award-winning features that made this case fan series stand out: A ring blade design using interconnecting fan blades for improved structural rigidity and directed airflow. To further reduce vibration, the fan comes with a patented corner-mount design with rubber feet to keep it stable and quiet, while reaching an RPM speed of 3200 ±10%. And, to increase the fan's lifespan and lower noise levels, Cooler Master uses a double ball bearing design. This combination demonstrates the company's commitment to refining every detail for a superior final product.



The list of features doesn't stop there. Cooler Master engineers also included a speed toggle switch that allows the user to adjust the fan speed to match any computing need she or he tackles without relying on software of BIOS control. Finally, the center motor hub is made of metal to enhance stability and increase the fan's lifespan. To top it all, it is backed with a lifetime warranty which is a testimony to Cooler Master's faith in this flagship case fan.

Mobius Series
The Mobius 120 OC is a new addition to Cooler Master's Mobius case fan series. Following the introduction of the Mobius 120 and Mobius 120P ARGB in September 2022, the manufacturer released the Mobius 120P ARGB White and Mobius 140P ARGB during CES 2023 in Las Vegas. The Mobius 120 OC is the flagship model in this line-up, with a Double Ball Bearing and RPM speed that goes up to 3200 ±10%.

Seems like high RPM fans are coming back in fashion these days with Arctic P12 Max, and others all launching 3K RPM+ fans in last few days.

So, everyone knows wider fans are better, we have proof already in the market, they want to release a performance fan, they still make it 25mm(well, 27 but still same)?
Where are the thiccer fans ? Why is the market so slow to adapt?

Why is the market so slow to adapt?

Cause they want you to buy these first, then they will release the other models later on, so you have spend even moar of your hard-earned cash to get the fans you really wanted in the 1st place

Why do you say "they still make it 25mm" and then revise that "well, 27 but still same" in the same line? That doesn't make sense XD

Maybe 27mm was the best compromise to fit most builds... for instance dual towers sometimes don't have space for 30mm fans, or 30mm fans would create turbulence due to being too close to a grill/heatsink/etc. ...

Or maybe they even found that the sound profile of 27mm fans was superior... many possible answers. Just saying 30mm or thicker fans are always better is naive, it's all about implementation.

Its actually better, why do you think the phanteks 30mm fan was topping all charts? Is it because noctua/bequitet/thermalright or the rest cant figure the secret to the best fans?
That 5mm is big and im fairly certain even thicker ones can produce better results.
If you go deep dive and take a look at industrial fans you realize 25mm only exists for convenience, not performance.
This convenience is no longer needed though, most cases can accommodate much larger fans. Cases like the torrent becoming chart-topping because they include their own wider and thicker fans.

It's a copy of the TT tough fan....which is a copy of the Phanteks T30....which is a copy of the Noctua A12x25 (yes the T30 is thicker, but they all copied the fan blades, the liquid crystal polymers, etc)

Which is a copy of the Scythe Gentle Typhoons (the blade layout anyway, dunno about the motor and everything else).

it is backed with a lifetime warranty

5 years....

Because as good as the T30 is, there are still plenty of places where the 30mm thickness causes fitment problems. Ever tried clipping a T30 onto a heatsink? I've done it for 3 different coolers and it's a sucktastic experience.

To be fair, the A12x25 is probably the least copycat of the bunch since it's the one that debuted Sterrox/LCP. But all of them are good performers so it's a moot point trying to decide who copied who. T30 and A12x25 are very different fans physically, aesthetically and functionally.

ADATA's Vento Pro is probably the only one with any claim to the "OG" title, as it really is just a refreshed GT. Not so competitive in 2023, but it helps that it's the equivalent of $14USD in Canada - around half the price of the other "modern" fans.

Absolutely agree with the clipping to heatsink part, it's a pain in the ass for most heatsinks as they don't put the brackets through the holes closest to the heatsink. The newer Jonsbo tower coolers do this differently and mount the T30 with no problem, as the brackets don't depend on the depth of the fan.
