Fan Alphacool Rise Aurora 12 cm Black Translucent 2600 RPM 118.9 m³/h

The Alphacool Rise Aurora 120 mm fan combines adjustable PWM control with 5V addressable aRGB lighting built into the frame and hub. The translucent black design provides uniform illumination from 20 individually controllable LEDs while delivering airflow and static pressure suitable for radiators and case cooling.

Advantages

Twenty digitally addressable 5V LEDs with recessed diffusers provide even, non-spotty illumination across the fan. PWM control covers 0–2500 rpm with a silent mode that allows the fan to stop at 0 rpm and automatically start above ~350 rpm. At around 800 rpm the fan runs nearly silently while still delivering 118.9 m³/h airflow and high static pressure, making it suitable for water-cooling radiators or use as a case fan. Corner-mounted foam decouplers reduce vibration transfer and blade tear-off edges further lower noise.

Suitable for

• Mounting on water-cooling radiators
• Case ventilation in desktop PC builds
• Systems requiring addressable 5V aRGB lighting

Key specifications

• Fan diameter: 120 mm

• Static pressure: specified for radiator use (manufacturer data)
• LEDs: 20 × 5V digitally addressable aRGB LEDs
• Connectors: 4-pin PWM power/control cable (40 cm) and 3-pin JST for aRGB
• Color: Translucent / Black
• Weight: 0.18 kg

How to use

Connect the 4-pin PWM cable to a motherboard fan header or a dedicated fan controller to enable speed control. Attach the 3-pin JST connector for the 5V aRGB LEDs to a compatible 5V addressable header or use an adapter to convert to a standard 3-pin aRGB connector if required. Mount the fan using the supplied screws, ensuring the foam decouplers align with the case or radiator mounting points to reduce vibration transfer.

Recommendations

For radiator mounting, prioritize PWM control from the pump or motherboard to maintain optimal cooling performance. Use silent mode for low-noise operation during light loads and verify compatibility of your motherboard or controller with 5V addressable aRGB headers before connecting the LED JST plug.
