Product Information

Full details

The DeepCool FD12 120mm PWM PC Case Fan 3-Pack is designed for PC builders and enthusiasts seeking to improve their system's cooling performance and reduce noise levels. Its key benefit lies in its efficient airflow and quiet operation, achieved through a 9-blade design and hydro bearing. A potential caveat is the proprietary daisy-chain connector, which may limit some advanced cabling setups. This pack provides a cost-effective way to enhance cooling with reliable, controllable fans.

FAQs

What is the maximum fan speed?

The fan speed can be dynamically adjusted between 400 RPM and 2050 RPM ±10%.

How many fans are included in this pack?

This pack includes three DeepCool FD12 120mm PWM PC case fans.

What type of bearing does the fan use?

The fan uses a long-life hydro bearing, designed for quiet operation and durability.

Can I connect these fans to a fan controller?

Yes, the 4-pin PWM connector allows connection to most standard 4-pin PWM fan controllers. The proprietary daisy-chain connector is primarily for connecting multiple fans directly to a motherboard header.

What is the warranty period for these fans?

The DeepCool FD12 fans come with a 3-year warranty.

Are the mounting screws included?

Yes, mounting screws are included in the package.

What is the maximum airflow and static pressure?

The maximum airflow is up to 64.2 CFM, and the maximum static pressure is up to 2.49 mmAq.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not spin

Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is fully seated in the motherboard fan header. Verify that the fan header is receiving power from the PSU. Check BIOS settings to ensure fan control is enabled and not set to zero speed.

Fan is making unusual noise

Check for any obstructions (cables, components) hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. If noise persists, the bearing might be failing; consider replacement if within warranty.

Fan speed is not changing with temperature

Confirm the 4-pin PWM connector is used and connected to a PWM-capable fan header on the motherboard. Check the motherboard's BIOS or UEFI settings for fan control options (e.g., PWM mode, fan curve) and ensure they are configured correctly.

Daisy-chain connection not recognized or working

Ensure all proprietary 8-pin connectors are securely attached between fans and to the first fan connected to the motherboard. Verify the total power draw of the daisy-chained fans does not exceed the motherboard fan header's limit. Try connecting fans individually to rule out a faulty link in the chain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent airflow for effective cooling.
  • Operates quietly due to hydro bearing and anti-vibration pads.
  • PWM control allows for customized fan speed and noise profiles.
  • Durable build quality ensures a long lifespan.
  • 3-pack offers great value for multiple fan installations.

Cons

  • Proprietary daisy-chain connector may not be compatible with all custom cable setups.
  • Maximum noise level of 27.6 dB(A) might be audible in very quiet environments.
  • Fan speed is fixed at 2050 RPM maximum, which may not satisfy extreme overclocking needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the fans, screws, and user manual from the package.
  2. Identify the desired mounting locations in your PC case.
  3. Use the provided screws to securely attach each fan, ensuring correct airflow direction (indicated by arrows on the fan frame).
  4. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan connector to an available fan header on your motherboard. For the daisy-chain setup, connect the first fan to the motherboard and then connect subsequent fans using the proprietary connectors.
  5. Secure all cables to maintain good airflow.

Compatibility:

  • Size: 120mm x 120mm x 25mm, compatible with standard 120mm fan mounts in most PC cases, radiators, and CPU coolers.
  • Connector: Standard 4-pin PWM fan connector for motherboard control. The proprietary 8-pin daisy-chain connector allows up to 6 fans (depending on motherboard header limit) to be connected to a single header, simplifying wiring.
  • Voltage: Requires a 12 VDC power supply from the motherboard fan header.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly dust the fan blades and frame using a soft brush or compressed air. For deeper cleaning, disconnect the fan and wipe the blades with a slightly damp cloth (ensure it is completely dry before reconnecting).
  • Bearing Maintenance: The hydro bearing is sealed and generally maintenance-free. Avoid exposing the fan to excessive moisture or dust.
