Deepcool CF120 PLUS (120mm/56.5 CFM/1.85 mmH2O Static Pressure/1550 RPM Max/26.0 dBA/Hydro Bearing/ARGB/PWM) Review
Deepcool CF120 PLUS 120mm case fan, 56.5 CFM airflow, 1.85 mmH2O static pressure, 1550 RPM max, 26.0 dBA, Hydro bearing, ARGB, PWM control. Deepcool's budget ARGB fan, sold heavily in 3-in-1 multi-packs with a basic controller.
The CF120 PLUS is Deepcool's entry point into ARGB case fans, typically sold as a 3-in-1 pack with a simple ARGB controller and remote, making it one of the cheapest ways to fill a case with matching addressable lighting. Performance is modest compared to Deepcool's own FC120, but for builders whose priority is lighting on a budget, it covers the basics competently.
3-in-1 Pack Value
Deepcool typically bundles the CF120 PLUS three fans to a controller and remote at a combined price that undercuts buying three ARGB fans individually from most other brands, which is the model's main selling point for budget full-case lighting refreshes.
Where It Falls Short
At 56.5 CFM and modest static pressure, the CF120 PLUS isn't a strong choice for radiators or restrictive front panels — it's best treated as a lighting-and-basic-airflow product rather than a performance fan.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against its own sibling the Deepcool FC120, the CF120 PLUS is the clearly budget-tier option with less airflow and pressure, but a lower price and simpler bundled controller. Compared to the ID-COOLING XF-12025 ARGB TRIO already in this catalog, the two occupy a similar budget-ARGB-multipack niche.
