APNX FP1-RQ 120 PWM ARGB Reverse Case Fan – Black, 48.5 CFM, 1200 RPM

Product Overview

The APNX FP1-RQ 120 PWM ARGB Reverse Case Fan – Black is a specialized 120mm PC cooling fan designed for builders who want flexible airflow orientation combined with customizable ARGB lighting.

Its reverse blade design is optimized for reverse exhaust configurations, making it suitable for modern PC cases where airflow direction and fan presentation are important. With PWM speed control, 48.5 CFM airflow, and a hydraulic bearing, the FP1-RQ balances cooling performance, control, and long-term reliability.

Reverse Blade Design

The FP1-RQ features a reverse blade configuration engineered for installations where reverse airflow positioning is required.

This design provides greater flexibility when planning airflow layouts while maintaining a clean and consistent appearance inside the PC.

Efficient 48.5 CFM Airflow

With airflow rated at 48.5 CFM, the FP1-RQ is designed to move air efficiently through the chassis.

It can be integrated into a broader case cooling configuration to help maintain effective ventilation around internal PC components.

PWM Fan Speed Control

The PWM-controlled motor allows compatible motherboards or fan controllers to dynamically adjust fan speed according to system requirements.

The operating speed range is:

300 ±100 RPM to 1200 ±10% RPM

This provides flexibility between lower-speed operation and increased airflow when additional cooling is required.

Customizable ARGB Lighting

The FP1-RQ features addressable RGB lighting supporting up to 16.8 million colors.

The 5V 3-pin ARGB connector enables integration with compatible motherboard lighting systems and ARGB controllers, allowing the fan’s lighting to complement the rest of your build.

Quiet Operation

The fan has a maximum rated noise level of 31.6 dBA, providing a balance between airflow and acoustic performance.

PWM control also allows the fan to operate at reduced speeds when maximum cooling performance is not required.

Hydraulic Bearing & Durability

A hydraulic bearing supports smooth and reliable fan operation.

The FP1-RQ has an MTBF rating of 60,000 hours, making it suitable for long-term use in gaming PCs, workstations, and everyday desktop systems.

Easy Connectivity

The fan features separate connectors for cooling and lighting:

• 4-Pin PWM – Fan power and speed control
• 5V 3-Pin ARGB – Addressable RGB lighting

This allows straightforward connection to compatible modern PC components.

Compact 120mm Design

Measuring 120 × 120 × 30mm, the FP1-RQ maintains a compact footprint while providing effective airflow and integrated lighting.

Its 120mm format makes it suitable for a wide range of PC cases and cooling configurations that support this fan size.
