Description
ARCTIC S12038-8K PWM 120mm High Performance 3 Pack Server Fans
ACFAN00302A
The ARCTIC S12038-8K PWM (ACFAN00302A) is a 3-pack of high-performance 120 mm PWM cooling fans built for demanding thermal environments like servers, rackmount chassis, industrial gear, performance PCs, and heat-intensive workstations. Thanks to a broad 800 – 8000 RPM PWM speed range, these fans adapt from quiet operation at lower fan speeds to aggressive airflow when cooling demand is high.
With high airflow (~220 CFM) and excellent static pressure (~37 mm H₂O), this fan trio delivers powerful cooling even through dense filters, heat sinks, and restrictive chassis spaces. The dual ball bearing with brass-reinforced housing enhances mechanical durability and stability, making this an ideal choice for systems that run continuously or are deployed in industrial settings.
These fans are suitable for use as exhaust or intake fans in server racks, radiator fans in liquid cooling builds, or supplemental ventilation in compact PC enclosures. The included PWM control allows motherboard or controller regulation for precise speed management — balancing performance with noise.
Why It’s a Great Choice
High Static Pressure & Airflow:
The ~37 mm H₂O static pressure and ~220 CFM airflow help these fans push air through restrictive environments like server racks, radiators, and dense heatsinks — perfect for high-performance cooling.
Wide PWM Speed Control:
The 800 – 8000 RPM control range lets fans run quietly at low speeds during light usage and ramp up aggressively when thermal loads increase — balancing noise and cooling efficiency.
Durable Long-Life Design:
Dual ball bearings and brass housing add mechanical stability and extended lifespan — ideal for 24/7 operation in servers, industrial equipment, or high-load systems.
Versatile Controller Compatibility:
The 4-pin PWM connector works with modern motherboard headers and fan controllers while still being backward compatible with older 2-pin or 3-pin connections — offering installation flexibility.
Professional Use Cases:
Perfect as intake or exhaust fans in server/server racks, 3U/4U chassis, heavy-duty PCs, and industrial systems requiring robust, reliable airflow under load.
Confidence Through Warranty:
Backed by ARCTIC’s 6-year manufacturer warranty, this 3-pack gives peace of mind for long-term operation and reliability in professional cooling setups.
