Fractal Design Dynamic 3 120mm Reverse Black PWM Fan
The Fractal Design Dynamic 3 120mm Reverse Black PWM Fan is designed for builders who want strong cooling with minimal noise and a clean, modern look. Its swept blade design and rifle bearing deliver smooth, quiet operation, while ARGB Gen 2 lighting and daisy-chainable cables support flexible, clutter-free builds.
Why this product
Swept blade design for quieter cooling
The shaped blade profile reduces noise while maintaining strong airflow, letting you balance performance and acoustics without compromise.
Wide PWM speed range with precise control
Run from 350 to 2200 RPM, giving you fine-grained control over cooling output and noise levels to match your system's needs.
ARGB Gen 2 lighting with animations
8 integrated LEDs support customizable effects and dynamic animations to match your build's aesthetic.
Daisy-chainable cables for clean routing
Integrated cables chain together to simplify connection and reduce clutter inside your case.
Rifle bearing for long-term stability
Engineered for smooth, consistent rotation over 90,000+ hours of operation without degradation.

- EAN7340172711889
- Fits standard 120 mm fan mounting brackets with 105 × 105 mm screw hole pattern.
- PWM connector for 4-pin fan headers on motherboards and fan hubs.
- 5 V ARGB connector for RGB lighting control on compatible motherboards or controllers.
- Reverse airflow design suits specific case configurations; ensure your case layout supports intake or exhaust direction before purchase.
Best for
- Quiet cooling builds — swept blade design and low noise floor (36.2 dB(A) max) prioritize silent operation.
- RGB-coordinated systems — ARGB Gen 2 lighting integrates with ecosystem controllers for synchronized animations.
- Clean cable management — daisy-chainable design cuts clutter compared to individual fan wiring.
- Fine-tuned cooling control — wide PWM range from 350 to 2200 RPM lets you dial in exact performance.
Trade-offs
- High static-pressure cooling — 2.54 mm H2O maximum pressure suits open airflow designs, not dense radiator arrays or restrictive cases.
- Motherboards without PWM or ARGB headers — requires compatible 4-pin fan and 5 V RGB connectors.
- Builders seeking maximum airflow — 65.38 CFM is moderate; higher-CFM fans exist for unrestricted cooling.
