Product Information

Full details

The DeepCool FL12R-3 IN 1 PC Case Fan is designed for PC enthusiasts seeking both high performance cooling and striking aesthetics. Its key benefit lies in its unique reverse blade design, offering an uninterrupted RGB lighting effect from any viewing angle, combined with efficient airflow and low noise operation. A potential consideration is the need for compatible ARGB Gen2 headers on your motherboard for full lighting control.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the reverse fan blade design?

The reverse fan blade design allows for an uninterrupted and clean RGB lighting effect on both the intake and exhaust sides of the fan, eliminating the visual obstruction typically caused by the fan motor hub.

How many LEDs are on each fan?

Each DeepCool FL12R fan features 36 ARGB Gen2 LEDs integrated into its halo ring.

What type of bearing does this fan use?

The fan uses a long-life Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB), known for its quiet operation and durability.

Can I control the fan speed and RGB lighting?

Yes, the fan speed is controlled via PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) through a 4-pin connector, and the RGB lighting is controlled via a 3-pin ARGB connector, typically managed by your motherboard's software.

What is the maximum noise level of these fans?

The maximum noise level at high speed (up to 2150 RPM) is stated to be at or below 33.9 dB(A).

What are the dimensions of the fan?

The fan dimensions are 120mm x 120mm x 25mm (W x D x H).

Does this pack include a fan hub?

The product is a 3-in-1 pack, and while it features integrated 8-pin connectors for PWM and ARGB SYNC, it typically connects directly to motherboard headers. A separate hub might be required if your motherboard lacks sufficient headers.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Verify the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Ensure the fan header is enabled and providing power in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Check if the fan is obstructed.

RGB lights not working or incorrect colors

Ensure the 3-pin ARGB connector is correctly seated on a compatible 5V ARGB header. Check if your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured properly. Try connecting to a different ARGB header or a dedicated ARGB controller.

Fan making unusual noise

Check for any obstructions, such as cables, hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and that the rubber pads are properly positioned. A high-pitched whine might indicate the fan is operating at very high RPMs; adjust fan curves in BIOS/UEFI or software.

Fan speed not changing

Confirm the 4-pin PWM connector is connected to a PWM-capable fan header on the motherboard. Check fan control settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or any installed fan control software. Ensure the fan curve is set to respond to temperature changes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique reverse blade design for seamless RGB aesthetics
  • High-density ARGB Gen2 LEDs for vibrant lighting
  • Quiet operation due to Fluid Dynamic Bearing and vibration dampening
  • Efficient cooling performance with adjustable PWM speeds
  • Durable build materials for long-term reliability
  • Simplified installation with integrated 8-pin connectors

Cons

  • Requires compatible ARGB Gen2 headers for full lighting functionality
  • May be more expensive than non-RGB or standard fans
  • The 8-pin connector may require specific motherboard headers or hubs
  • Maximum noise level of 33.9 dB(A) might be noticeable in very quiet environments
  • 55 CFM airflow, while good, might not be sufficient for extreme overclocking scenarios without additional cooling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure each fan to your computer case using the included screws. Ensure the airflow direction arrow on the fan frame points towards the direction you want air to flow (typically intake at the front, exhaust at the rear/top).
  2. Power Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to a compatible fan header on your motherboard. This allows for speed control.
  3. ARGB Connection: Connect the 3-pin ARGB connector to a motherboard ARGB header. Ensure the header voltage matches (5V).
  4. 8-Pin Hub (if applicable): If using a hub for multiple fans, connect the 8-pin cable from the fan to the hub, and the hub to the motherboard's PWM and ARGB headers. Refer to the hub's manual for specific connections.

Compatibility:

  • Motherboard Headers: Requires available 4-pin PWM fan headers and 3-pin 5V ARGB headers. Check your motherboard manual.
  • Case Mounts: Standard 120mm fan mounts found in most PC cases.
  • RGB Software: ARGB lighting can typically be controlled via motherboard software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion) if connected to compatible headers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically dust the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids.
  • Bearing Maintenance: The Fluid Dynamic Bearing is sealed and does not require user maintenance.
