120mm IP65 Waterproof Case Fan
The PANO-MOUNTS 12038IP2510 is a 120mm case fan with a 38mm thick frame and an IP65 waterproof rating. It runs on 12V DC power through a standard 3-pin connector and uses a hydraulic bearing. The black, non-LED unit delivers airflow above 80 CFM at speeds between 3500 and 3999 RPM.
Suited for wet or dusty environments
This fan suits builders who need cooling in high-humidity or wet locations such as greenhouses, chicken houses, or industrial cabinets. The IP65 seal blocks dust and water ingress. Buyers who want a quiet fan for a silent desktop should look elsewhere, as noise exceeds 50 dBA. Those needing PWM speed control or RGB lighting will not find those features here.
Check 38mm clearance and 3-pin header
Before ordering, verify that your chassis or mounting location can accommodate a 38mm thick fan, as it is thicker than standard 25mm models. Confirm your motherboard or controller provides a 3-pin header for the red, black, and yellow wiring. The fan draws 0.8A at 12V for 9.6W, so ensure the header can supply that current.

Questions about this item
Does my case need a 120 mm mounting grid and a 12 V three-pin header to run this 38 mm thick fan?
Yes — the unit measures 120×120×38 mm, draws 0.8 A at 12 V through a three-pin connector (red +, black –, yellow tach), so the chassis must provide those mounting holes and a matching header.
Can I keep using an older 25 mm fan on the same 12 V header while adding this 38 mm IP65 model?
Both fans run on 12 V three-pin power, so they can share a header with a splitter; the thicker 38 mm frame simply requires the extra clearance behind the mounting plane.
How do I confirm the self-protection feature is active after installation?
If an object contacts the blades the fan stops without burning out; restarting it after clearing the obstruction shows the protection cycle is working.
