Evercool 40x40x10 EL Bearing (5000 RPM) EC4010M12EA

Evercool 40x40x10 EL Bearing (5000 RPM) EC4010M12EA is a compact 40 mm fan oriented towards finer tasks – cooling small radiators, networking equipment, SFF cases, or specific hot spots in the system. With a thickness of only 10 mm and a 3-pin connector, it is easy to integrate into tight spaces and non-standard solutions. Speeds of up to 5000 RPM provide stable airflow, and the noise level below 21 dBA keeps it in the relatively quiet spectrum for this size. The EL Bearing and declared MTBF 40000 hours are a clear indication of operation for years under normal conditions.

What you get

With a size of 40 x 40 x 10 mm, this fan is ideal for places where a normal 25 mm fan simply does not fit – mini-ITX cases, 3D printers, routers, DVRs, NAS boxes, and all kinds of small hardware. The airflow of 5.75 CFM (9.77 m3/h) is more than sufficient for small radiators or directed cooling of VRMs, M.2 SSDs, or chipsets. The consumption of only 0.84 W at 12 V means that the load on the power supply is minimal, and you can connect it even to more limited controllers or boards. The noise level below 21 dBA is a plus if you will use it close to a desk or in an HTPC, where every whirring is felt. The 3-pin connector provides basic compatibility with most motherboards and controllers that support DC regulation of speeds.

• Compact form factor 40 x 40 x 10 mm, suitable for tight cases, devices, and custom cooling solutions.
• High speeds up to 5000 RPM, providing stable airflow for small radiators and local cooling.
• Airflow 5.75 CFM / 9.77 m3/h, sufficient for cooling chips, VRMs, M.2 SSDs, or networking equipment.
• Low noise level below 21 dBA, making it suitable for work environments, offices, and systems in sleeping quarters.
• EL Bearing and MTBF 40000 hours, indicating reliable operation during prolonged use.
• Standard 12 V power supply and low consumption of 0.84 W – gentle on the PSU and ideal for small devices.
• Universal 3-pin connector for easy connection to motherboards and fan controllers.

Who it is suitable for

This fan is suitable if you need a small and relatively quiet 40 mm fan for routers, mini-servers, networking equipment, embedded systems, or targeted cooling in a compact PC build. If you are building a high-end gaming configuration and looking for airflow for an entire case, the size simply is not enough here – rather use it as a supplement, not as a primary source of airflow.

The strongest point of this model is the combination of very compact size, 5000 RPM, low consumption, and noise level below 21 dBA, making it a practical choice for any small but critical cooling spots.
