Summary

Of course, every customer has different premises and you get an acceptable and unlit performance in the case here. As a case fan, the ASUS ROG Strix XF 120 is about 20 percentage points behind the reference when looking at throughput per dBA. While this is not an absolute no peak, it is still quite good and better than the average, which is well below 1.

However, on a radiator, regardless of thickness, the ASUS ROG Strix XF 120 loses out more significantly. This is very good midfield, but also not for the top.

So the ASUS ROG Strix XF 120 definitely does what a customer absolutely needs, even if the spec sheet was quite obviously glossed over a bit. All in all, it’s still not an absolute top performance, but in total, without any visible and barely audible weaknesses, it’s still a solid performance. However, the total euphoria has not broken out, especially not in view of the very steep price. But they’re not bad either, you have to be that fair. Whoever hangs it in the case will certainly not experience a flop.

Conclusion

The ASUS ROG Strix XF 120 thus does exactly what it is supposed to. He does his job with dedication and no eardrum damage. However, the criticism of the PWM control in the start-up area as well as in the acoustic test on the motor noise is appropriate. The fact that I’m going into more detail here is also due to the fact that Ausus has put itself in the premium class by means of the price, but these luxury shoes are a little too big, because they lack an absolutely convincing finish.
