Review: Quiet Powerhouse for Cooling Needs This Wathai 120mm x 38mm 12V cooling fan has turned out to be a real workhorse in my setup. Right out of the box, it feels solid and well-built, and once running, it pushes a serious amount of air. The dual ball bearings are a big plus—they give the fan a longer life and let it run smoothly without the rattly noise that cheaper sleeve-bearing fans sometimes develop over time. I put this into a network cabinet where heat tends to build up, and the difference was immediate. Temperatures dropped several degrees, and the system stays much more stable under heavy use. It’s not whisper-quiet, but for the airflow it provides, the noise is a steady, low hum that blends into the background. Definitely not distracting in a garage, workshop, or server room environment. The 2-pin connector makes installation simple, though keep in mind you won’t get PWM speed control—this is either on or off. For most industrial or electronics cooling applications, that’s perfectly fine. Just make sure you have space for the extra thickness (38mm vs. the more common 25mm), since it moves more air partly because of that larger size. Bottom line: A durable, high-airflow cooling fan that trades speed control for sheer effectiveness. If you need reliable cooling power and don’t mind a bit of fan noise, this is a rock-solid choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this unit ul tested, if yes, to what standard. if not, what standards has it been tested?**
A: UL 507 is the relevant standard for electric fans, however this fan was not tested by UL. 

Also important to note that UL Listed products are tested while UL Recognized products are not tested. Both levels require a direct marking on the part which means this fan has neither level. To be honest most fans at this price level are not going to be agency tested just because the target market is PC case fans, and the things UL tests for are not relevant to PC builders. 

The fan has CE certification which is just saying it won't burn your house down. CE doesn't check fans for performance; you're better off reading reviews than looking for agency approvals if this is a PC fan.

**Q: will this fan work with just pos & neg hooked up? do I need all for wires hooked up to work ? thanks**
A: Will work with just pos and neg.

**Q: If I plan to use more than 50% capacity of the 5300rpm model, would I  need to connect it to a controller/hub rated for more than 1amp per lane?**
A: I would make sure that which ever Fan Port you connect this High Airflow Fan that it will support the amperage stated in the specs of the fan.

**Q: Any water or dust resistance rating?  ip52, ip67?**
A: I do not see any water/dust proof rating printed, however, I use this fan as a range-top exhaust fan in suction mode, so all cooking steam & grease-laden fumes are drawn across/through the fan... daily.  Thus far, it has performed flawlessly, despite the harsh environment.  I recommend this fan.

*by A***Y on 1 December 2025*

Update: I've now had 3 of these fans fail in the same way only a few hundred hours after being put into service. They will fail to reach full speed and start making a noise. Eventually they will jam completely. After dissecting all 3 I found a failed capacitor can jammed between the rotor and the stator coils. Removing the can and reassembling (without replacing the capacitor) the fans will work at partial speed but not the full 5300 RPM. I'm reducing my rating to 1 star as these fans are NOT reliable and will fail prematurely regardless of the operating conditions. Whether it's a bad batch of capacitors or a bad design, I can't say, but a failed capacitor causing mechanical failure of the fan after only a few hours in service is unacceptable. Original review: I have a small single room ventilation system which was previously using Noctua industrial 3000 RPM fans. I bought two of these to try as upgrades, one for intake and one for exhaust in an HRV type setup. The exhaust fan seems OK after 2 weeks, but the intake (installed in a bottom to top airflow configuration taking outside air in via a filter) started making awful noises after about 48 hours and seized altogether after 3 days. I removed it and got it spinning again on its edge, reinstalled it, and within 2 hours it seized again. It’s seen air temperatures between about -2C and 10C, and would see a range from -35C to about 40C in that installed position, which the Noctua Industrial fan has handled just fine for over 2 years. So I’m rather disappointed, to say the least. I tried replacing the lubricant with some multigrade oil to see if this will help. As I said, the performance is exciting, but I can’t really stomach the prospect reliability issues in this system.
