Key Specifications

Whisper-Quiet Cooling Performance

The F12’s Fluid Dynamic Bearing ensures smooth, silent operation even at maximum speed. With a noise level of just 0.3 sone, this fan is barely audible during typical use. The patented impeller design moves more air at lower RPMs, reducing both noise and power consumption without sacrificing cooling efficiency.

Built for Reliability

Fluid Dynamic Bearing technology provides longer lifespan compared to standard sleeve bearings. The 0.4 m cable length offers flexibility for most standard PC case layouts. Operating safely between 0 and 40 °C, the F12 maintains consistent performance across typical ambient temperatures.

Easy Installation

The 3-pin connector fits most standard motherboard fan headers. At 120 x 120 x 25 mm, the F12 matches common case fan dimensions, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade. The black finish complements most build aesthetics without drawing attention.
