Zalman Showcases Magnetic DF Fan Series & ARGB-lit TXM2 View PSU
Zalman has debuted its ZM-DF120 fan series at Computex 2025; with an emphasis on reducing cable clutter and easy installation. This is enabled by a magnetic mounting system and per-unit pogo pin interfaces. Similar designs have emerged from rival companies in the recent-ish past; eventually leading to ugly legal battles. The South Korean manufacturer is (bravely) stepping into this arena with its heavily ARGB-lit ZM-DF120 120 mm PWM fan options; showcased in black and white finishes. Side infinity mirror panels are hyped as providing dazzling visual effects. According to specification placards, fan speed range is 600-2000RPM (±10%). Maximum noise level is 34.5 dB (±10%), and max. air flow is 70.05 CFM (±10%). Zalman did not list any static pressure data. As expected, their ZM-DF120 fans leverage a hydro bearing platform.In addition to fancy ARGB-lit fans, Zalman presented their similarly decorated ZM1200-TXM2 VIEW PSU model. This 1200 W high-end offering does not delve into Platinum territories; instead it is 80+ Gold rated. The brand did not confirm the name of their OEM partner, but an accompanying spec placard outlines the reassuring presence of top quality Japanese 105° electrolytic capacitors, and an LLC resonant converter circuit design.Curiously, only a lone 1200 W (flagship?) example was presented at the South Korean company's booth. TechPowerUp did not spot less potent alternatives—e.g. the usual suspects: 1000 W, 850 W, 750 W, etc.
