Antec NOVA 120 PWM Fan - High-Performance PC Cooling Solution

The Antec NOVA 120 PWM Fan delivers professional-grade cooling performance for PC builds and gaming systems. This 120mm case fan combines advanced fluid dynamic bearing technology with precise PWM control to provide reliable, efficient airflow across a wide range of operating conditions.

Three-Phase PWM Speed Control

The NOVA 120 features a three-phase PWM speed controller that enables precise fan speed adjustment based on your system's thermal requirements. Choose from three performance profiles: Low mode (300-1500 RPM, 44 CFM, 21.5 dB(A)) for silent operation during light workloads, Medium mode (350-2400 RPM, 70.59 CFM, 30.8 dB(A)) for balanced performance, or High mode (400-3200 RPM, 95.32 CFM, 38.7 dB(A)) for maximum cooling during intensive tasks. The 4-pin PWM connector ensures compatibility with motherboard fan headers for automatic speed control.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing Technology

Built with a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB), this fan achieves exceptional durability and quiet operation. The FDB design reduces friction and vibration while extending operational lifespan to 50,000 hours at 40°C - significantly longer than standard sleeve or ball bearing fans. This makes the NOVA 120 ideal for 24/7 operation in workstations and servers.

Industrial-Grade Construction

The fan housing utilizes industrial-grade metal construction reinforced with neodymium magnets, providing superior structural stability compared to plastic alternatives. This robust build quality ensures consistent performance under thermal stress and reduces resonance during high-speed operation. The dustproof design protects internal components from particle buildup, maintaining optimal performance throughout the fan's lifespan.

Technical Specifications

Measuring 120 x 120 x 25 mm, the NOVA 120 fits standard case fan mounting points. It operates on DC 12V with a voltage range of 6.0-13.2V and draws a maximum of 0.35A. The fan generates air pressure ranging from 1.48 mmH2O (Low) to 6.56 mmH2O (High), making it suitable for both unrestricted airflow applications and installations with moderate resistance such as radiators or heatsinks.

White Aesthetic Design

The white fan shroud provides a clean, modern appearance that complements white-themed PC builds and cases. The non-RGB design maintains focus on cooling performance without unnecessary lighting effects.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Antec NOVA 120 PWM Fan represents a reliable cooling solution for system builders seeking performance, longevity, and precise thermal management.
