Built for AC-powered cooling projects
This 120 mm case fan runs directly from 100-125 V mains supply, removing the need for a separate DC power source. It targets builders who need high airflow in industrial enclosures, server racks or custom ventilation rigs where AC power is already present. The heavy-duty cast aluminium frame and dual ball bearings are chosen for continuous-duty reliability.
Thermals, noise and power in normal use
At 2800 RPM the fan moves 123 CFM while producing 44.8 dBA, a level the maker notes can be high for quiet environments. Impedance protection prevents overheating if the rotor is blocked. The AC motor draws power straight from the supplied 4 ft non-polarised cord, so no motherboard header or fan controller is involved.
38 mm thickness decides fit
The 38 mm frame depth is the critical dimension; standard 25 mm mounting points will not accept this fan. Buyers with slim cases or tight clearances should verify spacing before ordering. The package includes two guards, a screw set with 60 mm hardware and an open wire lead for alternative wiring.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the BGears b-Blaster-AC 120x38 to a standard 100-125V outlet and what step is often missed?
Plug the included 4 ft USA non-polarized 2-prong AC power cord into the fan's open wire lead, then into the wall outlet; the step often missed is securing both supplied fan guards with the 60mm screws, nuts, and washers before powering on.
What maintenance will the 2 ball bearing in this 2800 RPM fan need over time?
The dual ball bearing is sealed and rated for extended life at 2800 +/- 10% RPM; no lubrication or service is required, but dust buildup on the blades and aluminum frame should be cleaned periodically to maintain the 123 CFM airflow.
At what point does the impedance protection activate during sustained high-load operation?
If the fan rotor stalls or airflow is completely blocked, the impedance protection cuts current to prevent overheating, allowing the motor to survive a stall condition without permanent damage.
