Product Information

Full details

The DeepCool FL12-3 in 1 ARGB 120mm PWM Fan is designed for PC builders seeking enhanced cooling and customizable aesthetics. Its key benefit is the combination of high airflow performance and vibrant addressable RGB lighting, all while maintaining quiet operation thanks to its Fluid Dynamic Bearing. A potential caveat is the need for compatible ARGB headers on your motherboard for full lighting synchronization.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I connect these fans to a 4-pin 12V RGB header?

No, these fans use 3-pin +5V ARGB connectors. Connecting them to a 4-pin 12V RGB header can damage the LEDs.

What is a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)?

A Fluid Dynamic Bearing uses a film of lubricant to support the rotating shaft, significantly reducing friction and noise while extending the lifespan of the fan compared to traditional sleeve or ball bearings.

How do I control the RGB lighting effects?

The RGB lighting is controlled via a 3-pin +5V ARGB connector. You can synchronize effects using your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) or a dedicated ARGB controller.

Can I use these fans for radiator cooling?

Yes, while optimized for case airflow, the FL12 fans can be used on radiators. Their static pressure is 2.82 mmAq, which is adequate for moderate radiator performance.

What is the maximum fan speed?

The fan speed can be adjusted between 500 and 2150 RPM ±10%.

How many fans are included in a pack?

Each pack contains three DeepCool FL12 120mm PWM ARGB fans.

What is the warranty period for these fans?

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the DeepCool website or your retailer for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Verify the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check if the motherboard BIOS has fan control enabled and set to an appropriate profile.

RGB lighting not working or incorrect colors

Ensure the 3-pin +5V ARGB connector is correctly plugged into a compatible ARGB header. Confirm that your motherboard's ARGB software is installed and configured correctly, or check the ARGB controller if one is used.

Fan is unusually noisy

Check for any obstructions or loose cables interfering with the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted. If noise persists, try adjusting fan speed via PWM control; excessive noise at max RPM is normal.

Fan speed does not adjust

Confirm the 4-pin PWM connector is used and that the motherboard supports PWM fan control for that header. Check BIOS settings for PWM mode.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent airflow for effective cooling
  • Stunning and customizable ARGB lighting effects
  • Quiet operation due to Fluid Dynamic Bearing
  • Durable construction for long-term use
  • Simplified installation with integrated connectors
  • Value pack of three fans

Cons

  • Requires compatible 3-pin +5V ARGB headers for lighting
  • Maximum fan speed may be audible to sensitive users
  • Static pressure might be limiting for dense radiators
  • Limited control if motherboard lacks ARGB sync software

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify available 4-pin PWM fan headers and 3-pin +5V ARGB headers on your motherboard or ARGB controller.
  2. Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to a CPU_FAN or CHA_FAN header for power and speed control.
  3. Connect the 3-pin +5V ARGB connector to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard or controller for lighting.
  4. Use the included screws to mount the fans securely in your desired case location (intake or exhaust).
  5. If using multiple fans, they can be daisy-chained via their 8-pin connectors, ensuring the last fan's connectors are linked to the motherboard/controller.

Compatibility:

  • Fan Connector: Standard 4-pin PWM connector, compatible with most modern motherboards.
  • ARGB Connector: Requires a 3-pin +5V ARGB header. Ensure your motherboard or ARGB controller supports this standard for lighting effects. Older 12V RGB headers are *not* compatible.
  • Size: 120mm x 120mm x 25mm, fitting standard 120mm fan mounts in most PC cases.

Care:

  • Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or liquids, which can damage the fan and bearings.
  • Ensure the fan is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
