120 mm 12 V PWM case fan
This 120 mm case fan runs on 12 V DC and draws 1.6 A through a PWM-controlled ball bearing motor. It is built for server chassis, inverter enclosures and workstation cases that need active airflow. The thermostat function adjusts speed automatically based on temperature. Buyers who need a 5 V or USB-powered fan cannot use this model.
Thermals, noise and power draw
At 12 V the fan pulls 1.6 A, so power draw scales directly with the PWM duty cycle. Ball bearings keep acoustic output steady over long runs in server racks. The integrated thermostat lowers RPM when the chassis is cool, reducing both noise and current draw. No separate fan controller is required for basic thermal management.
Highlights

Questions about this item
How do I install the 120mm 12V 1.6A PWM fan in a server case?
Mount the 120mm frame using four screws through the corner holes, connect the 4-pin PWM header to the motherboard or fan controller, and ensure the 12V DC supply can deliver 1.6A. The step often missed is verifying PWM control in BIOS after wiring.
What maintenance will the ball-bearing fan need over time?
The ball-bearing design reduces friction, but dust buildup on blades and frame should be cleared with compressed air every few months. If noise or vibration appears, the bearing may require replacement of the entire fan unit.
