ASUS has introduced a new accessory for PC modding enthusiasts – the ROG Strix XIN120 RGB panel. Aimed at users who want to enhance the internal look of their systems without adding an extra fan, the device slots into a standard 120 mm fan mount.
The panel fits the majority of modern computer cases and is also included in the ARGB version of the ROG Cronox chassis, though it is now sold separately.
Infinity Mirror Effect
The key feature of the ROG Strix XIN120 is its multilayer mirror design, which creates the popular Infinity Mirror effect – a visual illusion of depth and seemingly endless light reflections.
For illumination, twelve high‑CRI LEDs are employed, delivering more natural and saturated colour reproduction.
Standard ARGB Connection
The novelty uses a standard 5‑volt ARGB connector (3‑pin), ensuring compatibility with most modern motherboards and RGB‑control ecosystems.
The official design follows the Republic of Gamers (ROG) aesthetic and targets primarily gaming PC owners with transparent side panels.
Pricing and Availability
In China, the ASUS ROG Strix XIN120 RGB is already available at a recommended price of 179 yuan – roughly 25 US dollars or about 1 050 Ukrainian hryvnia, excluding taxes and shipping.
The manufacturer has not yet announced details regarding an international launch.
Xpert Take
The ROG Strix XIN120 highlights how manufacturers are leveraging optical effects to add perceived value to simple accessories a fan‑slot form factor, ASUS offers modders a low‑cost way to achieve a premium look without impacting airflow or requiring complex wiring. This approach could spur similar products that blend lighting illusions with practical mounting standards, expanding the niche market for aesthetic‑focused PC components.
