LogiLink's Black PC Case Cooler Fan 120 x 120 x 25mm is suitable for cooling a computer through it...LogiLink's Black PC Case Cooler Fan 120 x 120 x 25mm is suitable for cooling a computer through its long life of up to 50,000 hours at an ambient temperature of 40°C. The connection is made via a 5.25in Y-power cable of the PC power supply, while the dimensions as well as the hole spacing of the screwing system are standardised. Despite the high volume flow of 75 CFM, the cooler fan functions very quietly. It features reverse polarity and overload protection, a noise level of 31.3dB (A), a 12V DC operating voltage, and a rated speed of 2,000rpm.

The LogiLink PC Case Cooler Fan (FAN103) is designed for PC builders and enthusiasts seeking efficient and quiet internal component cooling. Its primary benefit is maintaining optimal system temperatures with a high airflow rate of 75 CFM while operating at a low noise level. A potential caveat is its connection method, which relies on a 5.25in Y-power cable, requiring an available connector from the PC's power supply.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the fan?
The fan dimensions are 120mm x 120mm x 25mm.
How is the fan powered?
The fan is powered via a 5.25in Y-power cable that connects to a 4-pin Molex connector on your computer's power supply unit.
What is the expected lifespan of this fan?
The fan has a long life expectancy of up to 50,000 hours under optimal conditions.
Is this fan PWM controlled?
No, this is not a PWM fan. It operates at a fixed speed of 2,000rpm and is powered directly by the PSU.
What is the noise level of the fan?
The fan operates at a noise level of 31.3dB (A).
Does it come with mounting screws?
Mounting screws are typically not included with case fans and need to be sourced separately or from the PC case itself.
What safety features are included?
The fan includes reverse polarity and overload protection for enhanced safety.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not spin
Verify that the 5.25in Y-power cable is securely connected to the power supply. Ensure the power supply is switched on and receiving power. Check for any obstructions around the fan blades.
Fan is making unusual noise
Check for any loose cables or components that might be vibrating against the fan. Ensure the fan is securely mounted to the case. If the noise persists, it might indicate a bearing issue, and the fan may need replacement.
Fan speed seems too low
This fan operates at a fixed speed of 2,000rpm. It is not a PWM fan, so its speed cannot be adjusted by motherboard fan controllers. Ensure it is receiving the full 12V DC power from the PSU.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Effective cooling with high airflow (75 CFM)
Quiet operation at 31.3dB (A)
Long operational lifespan (up to 50,000 hours)
Standardized mounting size for broad compatibility
Built-in protection against electrical issues
Cons
Requires a 5.25in Y-power connector from the PSU
Noise level, while low, may still be audible in extremely quiet environments
Not a PWM fan, so speed is not dynamically controlled by motherboard temperature
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Power Connection: Connect the fan's 5.25in Y-power cable directly to an available 4-pin Molex connector on your computer's power supply unit (PSU).
Mounting: Secure the fan to your PC case using standard 120mm fan screws (not included). Ensure the airflow direction (indicated by arrows on the fan housing) is oriented correctly for your desired intake or exhaust configuration.
Compatibility:
Case Size: Compatible with PC cases that support standard 120mm fan mounting points.
Power Supply: Requires a free 4-pin Molex connector from the PC power supply.
Voltage: Operates on 12V DC.
Care:
Cleaning: Periodically disconnect power to the PC. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air to gently remove dust from the fan blades and housing. Avoid using liquids or harsh cleaners.
Maintenance: No specific lubrication or maintenance is required due to its sealed bearing design.
