Thermalright TL-C12C-S Fan 120mm aRGB

Thermalright TL-C12C-S is a 120mm aRGB case fan aimed at more meaningful gaming and enthusiast configurations, where you seek a balance between cooling, noise, and aesthetics. With a classic size of 120 x 120 x 25 mm and a black frame, it easily fits into almost any build. The range of 500–1550 RPM gives you good control – from quiet spinning to serious airflow. The added Addressable RGB lighting allows synchronization with the rest of the aRGB in the system for a clean, organized visual effect.

What you get

With an airflow of up to 66.17 CFM, the TL-C12C-S comfortably meets the needs of a front or rear intake/exhaust fan in a standard ATX case. The maximum pressure of 1.53 mmH2O helps air pass through mesh panels and finer dust filters without completely killing the flow. The noise level of up to 25.6 dBA is suitable if you want a system that is not annoying during normal gaming or work. The dynamic fluid bearing ensures the fan runs smoother and longer, especially under 24/7 load. Thanks to the 4 PIN PWM connector and separate 3 PIN 5V ARGB connector, you can simultaneously control the RPM through the motherboard and manage the lighting through software or a controller.

• 120 x 120 x 25 mm size, making it standard compatible with most PC cases and radiator positions for 120mm fans.
• Range of 500–1550 RPM, giving you flexibility between quiet operation at low speeds and more serious cooling under load.
• Airflow of up to 66.17 CFM, sufficient for effective intake or exhaust in a gaming or work configuration.
• Maximum static pressure of 1.53 mmH2O, which helps overcome dust filters and denser panels of the case.
• Noise up to 25.6 dBA, suitable for builds where you want a balance between cooling and acoustic comfort.
• Dynamic fluid bearing for smoother operation and longer life compared to basic sleeve bearings.
• 4 PIN fan connector plus 3 PIN 5V ARGB Header for separate control of RPM and aRGB lighting, synchronizable with the motherboard or controller.
• Addressable RGB lighting and black color for a clean, modern look that easily combines with the rest of the hardware.
• 12 V power supply and consumption of only 0.20 A, which does not overload the motherboard or controller lines.

Who it is suitable for

The TL-C12C-S is a good choice if you are building a gaming or streaming setup and want aRGB aesthetics without sacrificing cooling. It is suitable for cases with multiple 120mm positions, where you need a combination of airflow and acceptable noise. If you are aiming for an absolutely silent system or extreme static pressure for very dense radiators, you might want to look at more specialized models.

The most meaningful aspect here is the combination of wide RPM range, solid airflow, and aRGB control via 3 PIN 5V, making the Thermalright TL-C12C-S a practical choice for a balanced and visually organized build.
