Reverse-airflow 120 mm case fan

The Phanteks D30-120 Reverse model is a 120 mm case fan with a 30 mm thick frame designed for builds that need intake or exhaust in the opposite direction of a standard blade. It targets enthusiasts who want visible DRGB lighting on both the frame and the blades while pushing air through restrictive radiators or dense mesh. The single-fan pack suits radiators, top-mounted exhausts or side-panel intakes where reverse flow keeps the illuminated side facing the viewer.

PWM install with daisy-chain linking

Installation uses a standard 4-pin PWM header for speed control between 250 and 2000 RPM. The integrated fan-linking system lets multiple D30 units connect in series with bridge connectors and screw cover plates, reducing cable count to a single lead back to the motherboard. Builders should verify case clearance for the 30 mm thickness and confirm their board provides enough PWM headers or a powered hub for the desired fan count. The Fluid Dynamic Bearing requires no extra lubrication.

30 mm thickness limits case compatibility

At 30 mm thick the fan exceeds the standard 25 mm slot found in many compact chassis and some all-in-one liquid coolers, so it will not fit every mounting point. Maximum airflow is rated at 61.5 CFM with a noise ceiling of 31.8 dB(A) at full speed, figures that apply only when the fan receives unrestricted voltage from the PWM source. DRGB lighting relies on a 5 V 3-pin digital-RGB header or a compatible Phanteks controller; boards limited to 12 V 4-pin analog RGB cannot drive the addressable LEDs.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the reverse airflow is moving air in the right direction after installing the Phanteks D30-120?

With the system running, hold a piece of tissue near the fan frame; it should be pulled toward the motor side, confirming the 61.5 CFM reverse flow is active.

What comes in the box with the PH-F120D30R_DRGB_PWM_BK01 and what extra cables might I need?

The package includes one 120 mm fan with a 4-pin PWM connector and integrated DRGB lighting; a motherboard DRGB header or a Phanteks DRGB controller is required separately to drive the LEDs.

Which version of the D30-120 should I choose for a push-pull radiator setup?

Select this reverse-airflow model for the pull side of the radiator so its 250-2000 RPM range draws air through the fins while the standard model pushes from the other side.
