Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB (120mm/50.4 CFM/1.4 mmH2O Static Pressure/1200 RPM Max/23.7 dBA/Hydraulic Bearing/ARGB/PWM) Review
Xigmatek's Galaxy III Essential Arctic (BX120) comes up for shoppers scanning budget ARGB fan multi-packs alongside brands like Jonsbo and ID-COOLING.
The BX120 is the fan used in Xigmatek's real Galaxy III Essential Arctic kit (EN46461): three hydraulic-bearing 120mm ARGB fans bundled with a motherboard-syncable SYBC control box and remote. It's a fine choice if you just need several ARGB fans to light up a budget build without spending on the bigger brand names, and the included hub means you don't need a motherboard header for every fan.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the ID-COOLING XF-12025 ARGB TRIO already in our catalog, the BX120 sits in the same budget ARGB bracket with comparable airflow and noise figures, so kit pricing and included accessories (Xigmatek bundles a control hub and remote) will likely decide between them. Compared with the Alseye Halo D-RGB above, the BX120 trades a bit of static pressure for a noticeably quieter operating range.
