Computer case fan Gelid IPX 6 PWM — 60 mm, 12 V, 1,200–4,000 RPM, max pressure 4.3 mmH₂O, black

Gelid IPX 6 PWM is a 60 mm computer case fan engineered for spot cooling in compact systems and small enclosures. It operates from a 12 V supply and uses PWM control to vary speed between 1,200 and 4,000 RPM, delivering up to 4.3 mmH₂O static pressure. The black 60 mm impeller and optimized blade design provide concentrated airflow and improved distribution without increasing noise, making the fan suitable for SFF builds, targeted component cooling and industrial environments where high static pressure and variable speed are required.

Advantages

The IPX 6 PWM combines an IP56-rated housing that protects against dust and water ingress with a durable double ball-bearing mechanism for extended lifetime. A Smart PWM controller minimizes clicking noises and automatically adjusts rotational speed to match thermal load. Optimized impeller geometry and balanced rotor operation ensure stable performance across the full RPM range, while the design focuses on maintaining high airflow and static pressure in a small package.

Suitable for

• Small form factor (SFF) desktop cases and mini-ITX builds
• Targeted cooling of components such as VRMs, GPUs, SSDs or small heatsinks
• Compact industrial enclosures and humid environments requiring IP56 protection
• Systems where PWM-controlled variable fan speed is needed for noise vs. performance balance

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Gelid IPX 6 PWM in the appropriate 60 mm mounting location using the standard screw points. Connect the fan to a 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard or to a compatible PWM controller to enable automatic speed regulation. Ensure the airflow orientation matches your system cooling plan and maintain clear intake and exhaust paths for effective spot cooling. When used in industrial enclosures, confirm the fan’s IP56 rating is compatible with the enclosure’s ingress protection requirements and mounting environment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the fan with a PWM-capable controller or motherboard header to allow dynamic speed adjustment. In tight or high-humidity installations, maintain periodic inspections and keep mounting points free of obstructive debris to preserve IP56 protection and long-term performance.
