Compact 40 mm case fan
The CAFELE KDE1204PFV2 is a 40 mm square frame fan designed for tight chassis spaces or targeted component cooling. It runs on a 12 V DC supply and draws 1.0 W at 0.08 A, making it suitable for standard motherboard headers or fan controllers. The fan operates within a 4 V to 13 V working range.
Two-wire installation notes
The fan uses a simple two-wire connector, so installation only requires matching polarity to a 12 V header. Speed control is not supported because there is no PWM or tachometer wire; the fan will run at full voltage. The listed 5500 rpm applies to the standard curve, while the speed drops to 4200 rpm when the acceleration and deceleration line is active.
Noise and airflow balance
At 27 dBA the acoustic output is modest for a 5500 rpm spindle, but the small 40 mm frame limits total airflow compared to larger fans. Builders needing high static pressure for dense heatsinks or radiators should verify that this form factor meets their thermal target. It is not for systems requiring PWM speed regulation or high-volume air movement.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the fan is running at its rated speed after installation?
The fan should reach 5500 rpm under normal operation; if the speed-control line is used it will settle around 4200 rpm.
What comes with the KDE1204PFV2 and what must I source separately?
The package includes the 40 mm 12 V fan only; mounting screws, a 3-pin or 4-pin adapter and any fan controller are not included.
Which version of this 40 mm fan should I choose for a 12 V system?
The KDE1204PFV2 is the 12 V 1.0 W model rated at 5500 rpm and 27 dBA, matching a standard 12 V header.
