Deployment / Use Cases
This fan is primarily designed for case ventilation in desktop computer systems. Its 120mm size makes it compatible with most mid-tower and full-tower cases that support standard 120mm fan mounts, including front, rear, and top mounting positions.
The fan works particularly well as an exhaust fan to remove warm air from the case interior or as an intake fan to bring cool air into the system. While specifically compatible with Fractal Design Focus G Series cases, it also fits any case with standard 120mm fan mounting holes.
Case Cooling
Install as front intake or rear exhaust to maintain optimal airflow through your system chassis, helping to cool components like the CPU, GPU, and storage drives.
Aesthetic Builds
The white LED lighting complements white-themed builds or adds accent lighting to neutral color schemes, providing both function and visual appeal.
Physical Profile
The fan features a square-frame design measuring 120mm × 120mm × 25mm (4.72" × 4.72" × 0.98"). This standard 120mm form factor ensures compatibility with most case fan mounts and aftermarket cooling solutions. The fan weighs approximately 96 grams (3.39 ounces), making it lightweight enough for secure mounting without adding significant weight to the case structure.

FAQ
What is the airflow capacity of this Fractal Design fan?
The Fractal Design Silent Series LL White 120mm fan delivers a maximum airflow of 41.80 CFM (71.02m³/h). This airflow rating indicates how much air the fan can move through your case, which is important for maintaining proper cooling of components like the CPU, GPU, and storage drives during operation.
How quiet is this 120mm fan during operation?
This fan operates at 24.8 dB(A) under typical conditions, which is considered quiet for a case cooling fan. The A-weighted measurement accounts for human hearing sensitivity, making this fan suitable for environments where noise reduction matters, such as offices, media centers, or quiet gaming setups.
What type of bearing does this fan use?
The fan utilizes a sleeve bearing design. Sleeve bearings offer cost-effective performance with good durability, particularly when installed vertically as intended. The bearing type contributes to the fan's 3.4-year rated lifespan and helps minimize operational noise and vibration.
What cases is this fan compatible with?
The fan is specifically compatible with Fractal Design Focus G Series cases but also fits any standard case with 120mm fan mounting holes. Its 120mm × 120mm × 25mm dimensions match the industry standard for case fans, making it suitable for most mid-tower and full-tower computer cases that support 120mm fan installations.
What connector type does this fan have?
This fan features a standard 3-pin connector. This connector type plugs directly into motherboard fan headers or fan controllers that support 3-pin connections. The 3-pin design provides power and tachometer (RPM sensing) functionality, allowing your system to monitor fan speed if supported by your motherboard.
What is included in the package with this fan?
The package includes the Silent Series LL White 120mm fan itself plus a screw pack containing four metal fan screws. These screws allow for immediate mounting to standard case fan positions without requiring additional hardware. The complete package provides everything needed for installation right out of the box.
