Xeron is adding more affordable cooling options to its growing PC hardware lineup at Gamescom 2026. After showing its new cases and NEX L360 ARGB liquid cooler, the company has now introduced the NEX A61 ARGB CPU air cooler along with several new 120 mm case fans.
The NEX A61 ARGB is a compact tower-style CPU cooler made for AMD’s AM5 platform. Xeron has focused on keeping the cooler small while still offering a push-pull fan setup for better airflow through the heatsink.
Compact Design With Push-Pull Cooling
The NEX A61 ARGB stands 148 mm tall, making it a relatively short tower cooler that should fit into a wider range of PC cases. Its offset heatsink design also leaves more room around the memory slots, which can be useful for systems using taller RAM modules.
Two 120 mm ARGB fans are mounted on opposite sides of the cooling tower. This push-pull setup is designed to move more air through the heatsink and improve overall cooling performance.
Xeron has also added noise-damping rings to the fan mounts. These are intended to reduce vibration and help keep the cooler quieter during operation.
The ARGB fans add some visual flair without making the cooler overly complicated, fitting with Xeron’s simple approach to PC hardware design.
New Affordable 120 mm ARGB Fans
Alongside the CPU cooler, Xeron has introduced the NEX F120A and NEX F120RA 120 mm ARGB fans. The F120RA is a reverse-blade version, giving builders another option when they want the fan’s appearance to match a particular airflow setup.
Both fans are designed with simple cable management and customizable ARGB lighting. Each fan has eight ARGB LEDs built into its hub.
The fans use a standard 4-pin PWM connector and can reach up to 1,800 RPM. Xeron lists a maximum airflow of 55.08 CFM and a noise level of 30.3 dBA.
Pricing is where these fans stand out. The NEX F120A and NEX F120RA are expected to sell for $4.99 each, while a three-pack will cost $12.99.
That makes them particularly interesting for budget PC builders who need several fans without spending a large amount on cooling accessories.
MAX F120 Focuses on Performance
Xeron also showed the MAX F120 for users who prefer performance over RGB lighting. Unlike the NEX models, this fan has an all-black design with no lighting.
The MAX F120 can reach up to 2,400 RPM and is rated for up to 79 CFM of airflow. Its maximum noise rating is 33.91 dBA.
Xeron says the fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing, which is designed to provide better durability and smoother operation, especially when the fan is running at higher speeds.
The MAX F120 also has a maximum rated voltage of 12 V and is aimed at PC builders who want strong airflow without adding RGB lighting to their system.
Xeron Is Building a Bigger Cooling Range
With the NEX A61 ARGB, NEX F120A, NEX F120RA, and MAX F120, Xeron is quickly expanding beyond PC cases and into more parts of the cooling market.
The new products also show that the company is targeting different types of builders. The NEX A61 ARGB offers a compact air cooling option with ARGB lighting, while the NEX fans focus on low-cost customization. The MAX F120 takes a more performance-focused approach for users who simply want stronger airflow.
Xeron’s aggressive pricing on the NEX fans could be one of the most interesting parts of the new lineup. At just $4.99 per fan, they could give budget-focused PC builders an inexpensive way to improve airflow and add lighting to their builds.
The company has not yet provided complete availability details for every new product, but more information is expected as its Gamescom 2026 hardware lineup rolls out.
