Product Information
Full details
The DeepCool FD12 120mm White PWM case fan 3-pack is designed for PC enthusiasts seeking an effective and quiet cooling upgrade. It offers strong airflow and static pressure, ensuring components stay cool under load, with a potential caveat of its proprietary daisy-chain connector for power. This package provides three fans featuring a 9-blade design, hydro bearing for longevity, and anti-vibration rubber pads for reduced noise. The 4-pin PWM connector allows for intelligent speed control, balancing performance with acoustics.

FAQs
What is PWM control?
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control allows the fan speed to be dynamically adjusted by the motherboard based on system temperature. This means the fan can spin faster when your PC is hot and slower when it's idle, balancing cooling needs with noise levels.
Can I connect these fans to a fan controller?
Yes, as long as the fan controller uses standard 4-pin PWM fan headers. However, the proprietary 8-pin daisy-chain connector is designed for direct motherboard connection.
What is the difference between the 4-pin and 8-pin connector?
The 4-pin connector is the standard for controlling fan speed via PWM. The 8-pin proprietary connector is used to link multiple fans together (daisy-chain) to power and control them from a single motherboard fan header.
How do I determine the correct mounting orientation?
Look for the airflow arrow on the side of the fan frame. Point this arrow towards the direction you want the air to move. Typically, fans facing into the case are intake, and fans facing out are exhaust.
What is the warranty period for these fans?
The DeepCool FD12 fans come with a 3-year warranty.
Are these fans suitable for a radiator?
While designed primarily for case airflow, their static pressure capabilities allow them to be used on radiators for supplementary cooling. For high-performance liquid cooling, dedicated radiator fans might offer superior results.
Troubleshooting
Fan is not spinning
Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Verify that the fan header is receiving power (check BIOS settings or motherboard manual). If daisy-chained, ensure the primary fan's connection is correct and that the motherboard supports enough power for all connected fans.
Fan is making unusual noise
Check for any obstructions (cables, etc.) hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted to the case. If the noise persists, the hydro bearing might be failing; consider replacing the fan.
Fan speed is not adjusting
Confirm that the 4-pin connector is plugged into a PWM-capable fan header on your motherboard. Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure PWM mode is enabled for the fan header and that the fan curve is configured appropriately.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent airflow and static pressure for effective cooling.
- Quiet operation due to hydro bearing and anti-vibration pads.
- PWM control allows for customizable fan speeds.
- Durable build quality with enhanced materials.
- Value pack provides three fans for comprehensive cooling.
Cons
- Proprietary 8-pin daisy-chain connector requires specific motherboard headers.
- Maximum noise level of 27.6 dB(A) might still be audible in very quiet environments.
- White color may not fit all PC build themes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: Secure each fan to your PC case using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the airflow direction arrow on the fan frame points towards the direction you want air to flow (typically into the case for intake, out of the case for exhaust).
- Power Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector of each fan to an available fan header on your motherboard. For daisy-chaining multiple fans from a single header, use the proprietary 8-pin connector. Refer to your motherboard manual for fan header locations and PWM control capabilities.
Compatibility:
- Size: These are 120mm fans, compatible with most standard PC cases and radiator mounts designed for this size.
- Connector: The 4-pin PWM connector is standard for modern motherboards. The 8-pin proprietary daisy-chain connector requires careful consideration of your motherboard's fan header configuration.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically dust the fan blades and frame. Use compressed air to blow away dust, or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the fan is completely dry before powering on the PC.
- Bearing Lubrication: The hydro bearing is sealed and typically does not require lubrication. Avoid disassembling the fan.
- Storage: If storing the fans, keep them in a clean, dry environment.
