Ultra-compact 30 mm case fan

The SXDOOL PLA03010S12M is a 30 mm square frame fan built for tight spaces such as chipset heatsinks, small-form-factor enclosures or industrial equipment. It runs on 12 V through a standard three-pin motherboard header and draws only 0.07 A, making it a low-power addition for targeted spot cooling.

Three-pin speed-sense limitation

The three-pin connector supplies power, ground and a tachometer signal but lacks PWM control, so the motherboard can monitor RPM but cannot dynamically adjust speed. Voltage-based regulation is possible if the header supports it, yet the fan will typically run at its fixed 6300 RPM ±5 % range unless the board reduces the supply voltage.

3.5 CFM airflow for chipset-scale loads

At 3.5 CFM and 14 dBA the fan moves enough air to lower temperatures on a northbridge, VRM heatsink or SSD controller, but it cannot serve as primary case ventilation or cool a CPU tower. The 6000–6499 RPM range provides measurable airflow in a 3010 form factor while keeping acoustic output below 15 dBA.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 6000-6499 RPM version or a lower-speed model?

This fan runs at 6300 RPM ±5% (6000-6499 RPM range) and moves 3.5 CFM; select it when a compact 30 mm frame must deliver maximum airflow for a chipset or small-form-factor heatsink.

What does the 14 dBA noise rating mean once the fan is installed?

At 14 dBA the fan is barely audible in a typical case; you will hear only a faint whisper even at full 6300 RPM speed.

How does the 3-pin connector limit speed control?

The 3-pin plug supplies 12 V, ground and a yellow tachometer wire; voltage regulation from the motherboard adjusts speed, but PWM control is not available.
