Fan Alphacool 24852 12 cm Black 600-2500 RPM Hydraulic

Alphacool's Core 120mm is a 120 mm black computer fan with a hydraulic bearing designed for quiet, long-lasting operation. The fan supports PWM control via a 4-pin connector and covers a wide speed range up to 2500 RPM. With a maximum airflow of 72.63 CFM and a static pressure of 2.42 mm/H2O, it is suitable for use on radiators in water-cooling loops as well as for general case ventilation.

Advantages

The hydraulic bearing ensures smooth, low-noise operation and contributes to extended service life. PWM control and a 40 cm cable allow direct connection to a motherboard or fan controller without additional adapters. High static pressure combined with strong airflow makes the fan effective on radiators and in restricted airflow environments.

Suitable for

• Mounting on CPU cooler radiators and water-cooling radiators
• Case ventilation in PC builds
• Systems requiring a non-RGB, high-pressure 120 mm fan

How to use

Connect the fan to a 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard or to a compatible fan controller using the integrated 40 cm cable. Configure fan speed control in the motherboard BIOS or via software to take advantage of the 0–2500 RPM control range. For radiator mounting, install the fan so that airflow direction aligns with your cooling loop requirements and secure it with appropriate screws.

Recommendations

Use PWM control to adjust speed according to system temperature: lower speeds for quiet desktop use and higher speeds when cooling demand increases. Ensure the fan is mounted securely and kept free of dust to preserve bearing life and maintain performance.
