[Quality Bearings]The carefully developed quality S-FDB bearings solve the problem of pc cooling fan blade shaking in lifting mode, keeping cpu fan noise to a minimum while providing maximum cooling performance when needed and extending the life of the cpu cooler fan.
[Silent Fan Size] Model: TL-C12C-X28 X3, Size: 120x120x28mm, Speed: 1550RPM±10%, Noise ≤ 25.4dBA, Connector: 4pin pwm, Lighting Interface:5V 3pin ARGB; Current: 0.25A, Air Pressure: 1.86mm H2O, Air Flow: 73.3CFM, Higher air flow for improved cooling performance.
[Intelligent Temperature Control Function] The cooling fan has a PWM temperature control function.
