Fan Fractal Design Momentum 12 12 cm White 350-2200 RPM 114.6 m³/h

The Fractal Design Momentum 12 is a 120 mm system fan designed to deliver powerful airflow with low noise. It operates between 350 and 2200 RPM, provides up to 114.6 m³/h of airflow and a maximum static pressure of 2.51 mmH2O. The fan uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) blades and a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) with an inner herringbone structure for improved efficiency, smooth operation and long-term durability.

Advantages

Momentum 12 pairs strong LCP blades with a swept blade profile to produce higher airflow at lower noise levels, particularly at higher speeds. The FDB with an inner herringbone structure reduces friction and noise while extending service life. Integrated rubber bushings reduce vibration between fan and chassis, and the minimalistic white finish complements modern system builds. PWM control including Zero RPM mode and daisy-chain connectivity with short flat cables allow flexible power and noise management for multi-fan setups.

Suitable for

• Case cooling for mid-tower and full-tower computer chassis
• Radiator or AIO cooling where moderate static pressure and high airflow are needed
• Multi-fan configurations requiring daisy-chain connectivity and PWM control

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Momentum 12 into your case or radiator mount using the supplied screws and align the airflow direction as required. Connect the fan to a PWM-capable header on your motherboard or a PWM hub to allow full speed control, including Zero RPM mode. When using multiple fans, use the integrated short flat cables and the supplied extension cable to daisy-chain the fans for simplified cabling and synchronized control.

Recommendations

For balanced cooling and noise, configure PWM curves in your motherboard or fan controller so that the fans remain at lower speeds during light loads and scale up under high CPU/GPU temperatures. Use the rubber-bushed screw points to maintain low vibration by ensuring screws are snug but not over-tightened.
