Fractal Design Momentum 12 RGB 120mm ARGB PWM Case Fan - White
The Fractal Design Momentum 12 RGB is a 120mm case fan designed for builders seeking quiet cooling with customizable lighting. It combines a Fluid Dynamic Bearing with swept blade geometry to minimize noise while delivering airflow, and features an ARGB Gen 2 ring that supports animated effects.
Why this product
Fluid Dynamic Bearing for durability
The FDB with inner herringbone structure is engineered to run quietly and reliably over the fan's lifetime, rated for over 90,000 hours of operation.
Swept blade design cuts noise
The blade geometry is tuned to generate airflow at lower noise levels, particularly noticeable at higher rotational speeds where cooling demands peak.
ARGB Gen 2 ring lighting
The illuminated 16-LED ring supports custom animations and effects, controlled via any ARGB-compatible hub or motherboard.
Zero RPM mode included
PWM control lets you set the fan to stop completely at low workloads, eliminating noise when cooling is not required.
Vibration dampening
Integrated rubber bushings around all screw points reduce vibration transmission to the case, keeping the system quieter overall.
- Size120mm
- Airflow62.44 CFM (106.2 m³/h)
- Noise level28.03 dB(A)
- Speed range350–2200 rpm
- Bearing typeFluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)
- Warranty2 years
- SKUFRA-5559
- EAN7340172708896
- Fits any 120mm fan mount with standard 120mm screw hole spacing.
- PWM control via standard fan header on any motherboard or fan hub supporting PWM.
- ARGB lighting requires a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or a standalone ARGB controller.
- Daisy chaining multiple fans requires the included Fractal Connect cables; other daisy chain standards are not compatible.
Best for
- Silent PC builders prioritizing noise reduction at load
- Systems with RGB lighting already integrated into the case or motherboard
- Builds where vibration isolation matters, such as recording studios or sensitive environments
- Users wanting fine-tuned fan control with Zero RPM capability for idle silence
Trade-offs
- High-pressure cooling builds — static pressure of 2.42 mm H₂O is moderate and suits front/rear fans better than radiator or heatsink push-pull setups.
- Maximum airflow setups — rated at 62.4 CFM, this is entry-level performance for high-end cooling demands.
- Systems without ARGB control — the lighting requires a compatible motherboard header or external controller; it cannot run independently.
A high-performance fan series developed for powerful airflow. Momentum fans fuse premium materials with performance engineering to minimize noise while maximizing cooling efficiency.
Advanced lighting
Create the right atmosphere with an illuminated ARGB Gen 2 ring of light, which can be customized to create animated effects.
Powerful blades
