## Long description

The Zalman ZM-F3 FDB(SF) 120 mm case fan delivers quiet, durable cooling for PC enclosures. It features a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) that forms a high-pressure oil layer to reduce shaft friction, extending service life up to 150,000 hours. The fan has a black-transparent design, runs at 12 V with a maximum speed of 1200 RPM and measures 120 x 120 x 25 mm.
Advantages
Fluid Dynamic Bearing technology minimizes mechanical wear and noise by creating a lubricating oil layer at microchannel intersections, resulting in long lifespan and stable operation. The shark fin blade design reduces turbulence to improve airflow while lowering vibration and acoustic output. Low maximum RPM further decreases noise levels, and included silicone vibration-absorbing pins reduce transfer of vibration to the case.
Suitable for
Case cooling for desktop PCs
Replacement or upgrade of 120 mm case fans
Silent or low-noise system builds
