Product Information

Full details

The Antec Nova 12cm fan is designed for PC enthusiasts seeking superior cooling and quiet operation. It excels at providing high airflow and static pressure, making it ideal for demanding applications like thick radiators or restrictive builds, but its maximum speed may be overkill for users prioritizing absolute silence in less demanding systems. Key features include Fluid Dynamic Bearings, a dustproof design, and precise three-phase PWM speed control.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Antec Nova fan?

The Antec Nova fan comes with a 5-year warranty from Antec.

What does PWM support mean?

PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) support allows the fan's speed to be precisely controlled by the motherboard or a fan controller, enabling quieter operation at lower loads and maximum cooling when needed.

How does the three-phase PWM speed control work?

The fan offers three distinct speed control modes, accessible via a switch or software, allowing you to prioritize quietness, balance performance, or demand maximum cooling power for different scenarios.

Can I connect multiple Antec Nova fans together?

Yes, the fan supports PWM Sharing Technology, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple Nova fans and control them collectively through a single 4-pin PWM connection.

What is the MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) for this fan?

The fan's Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) provides an MTTF of 50,000 hours, indicating a long operational lifespan.

Is this fan suitable for high-static pressure applications like radiators?

Yes, with a maximum static pressure of 6.56 mmH2O, the Antec Nova fan is well-suited for demanding applications such as mounting on thick radiators or in restrictive PC cases.

How is the dustproof design implemented?

The dustproof design encloses the internal drive components, preventing dust and debris from entering and potentially corroding internal parts, thereby extending the fan's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not spin

Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard or fan controller. Verify that the fan header is enabled in the BIOS and set to a speed setting that allows operation (not 'off'). Check if the fan is connected via PWM Sharing Technology and if the primary fan in the chain is operational.

Fan is making unusual noise

Check for any obstructions around the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case or other components. Clean the fan blades, as dust buildup can cause imbalance. If the noise persists, the bearing may be compromised; consider replacing the fan.

Fan speed is not changing with PWM control

Confirm the fan is connected to a 4-pin PWM header. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI is updated and that fan control settings are configured correctly. Test with a different PWM header or fan controller to rule out a motherboard issue. Verify that the fan is not set to a mode that overrides PWM control.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cooling performance with high airflow and static pressure.
  • Quiet operation thanks to Fluid Dynamic Bearings and optimized design.
  • Enhanced durability with dustproof features and robust LCP material.
  • Flexible control with three-phase PWM speed settings.
  • Long lifespan supported by FDB and quality construction.

Cons

  • Maximum speed of 3200 RPM might be too loud for users prioritizing absolute silence in low-demand scenarios.
  • Higher static pressure may not be necessary for all system builds.
  • Single fan pack may require additional purchases for full case coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to a compatible fan header on your motherboard or fan controller. The fan supports PWM Sharing Technology, allowing multiple Nova fans to be daisy-chained and controlled by a single header.

Compatibility: This 120mm fan is compatible with standard PC case fan mounts and radiator brackets. It operates on a standard 12V DC power supply. Ensure your motherboard or fan controller has a 4-pin PWM header for full speed control capabilities.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly clean the fan blades and frame to prevent dust buildup. Use a can of compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials. The dustproof design helps reduce internal dust accumulation, but external cleaning is still recommended periodically.
