120 mm White LED Case Fan

The Thermaltake CL-F038-PL12WT-A is a single 120 mm case fan designed for system builders who want white illumination and hydraulic-bearing reliability. It mounts in standard 120 mm case locations and includes a low-noise cable for optional speed reduction.

Hydraulic Bearing and LNC Upgrade

This model replaces basic sleeve-bearing fans that tend to become noisy over time. The hydraulic bearing offers longer lifespan and quieter operation, while the included low-noise cable drops the speed to 1000 RPM when silent running matters more than maximum airflow.

40.6 CFM Airflow with Concentrated Blades

At full 1500 RPM speed the fan delivers 40.6 CFM and 24.6 dB-A, providing enough static pressure for radiator or restrictive mesh applications. Using the low-noise cable reduces output to 18.7 dB-A for quieter desktop use, though maximum cooling headroom is lowered accordingly.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 25 mm thick 120 mm frame need inside the case?

The fan measures 120 x 120 x 25 mm, so allow at least 25 mm depth behind the mounting holes and 120 mm square for the frame.

How do I connect the 3-pin plug and the LNC to the motherboard?

Plug the 3-pin connector into a chassis fan header; attach the inline LNC between fan and header to drop speed to 1000 RPM and 18.7 dB-A.

When should I expect to replace the hydraulic bearing fan rated for 4.6 years?

The manufacturer rates the hydraulic bearing for 4.6 years of continuous operation; plan replacement around that interval or if noise rises above 24.6 dB-A.
