Factors that Make a Good Aura Sync Fan
I’ve chosen these fans for the 3 fundamental factors. Which are:
Fan Speed
It is obvious that:
The more a fans speed is the better it will perform.
The measuring unit of fan speed is RPM. That means Rate of the fan’s spins. The higher the RPM the higher will be the air flow as simple as that.
Fan air pressure
This feature is also known as static pressure of the fan.
One thing you need to know before understanding about static pressure is CFM.
CFM is a measurement of airflow of fans. Generally, it means the higher the cfm the better is the cooling performance of the fan.
When the CFM of the Fans are better the more the air pressure is given to the radiators which results for better cooling through the radiator.
Fan noise level
The noise created by Case fans is also a great matter of concern. As it might distract you while you are doing a serious task.
The measurement of this noise is measure in the scale of decibels (dBA)
RGB/ARGB Illumination
This is another great feature of the new PC case fans. The RGB and ARGB fans adds a better look to your gaming PC by adding beautiful color spectrums accompanied by attractive effects.
Your question might be how can a case fan be superior than another?
My simplest answer will be:
To me, the RGB/ ARGB fans having more compatible software will definitely take a better place.
And another feature which can make a fan more superior is having better illuminating part and the number of RGB LED illuminating the fan. The more will be its number the more attractive the fans will look.
