The Antec Nova Black 120 PWM Fan features an advanced three-phase PWM speed controller that offers three selectable speed modes (Low/Medium/High) suitable for various hardware environments. The fan can stop completely when the PWM signal is below 6%, ensuring energy efficiency and quiet operation.

Equipped with a powerful three-phase six-pole drive motor, the Nova fan delivers greater torque, improved startup performance, and reduced noise and vibration through minimized mechanical friction and electromagnetic interference. This precise PWM closed-loop design with speed compensation maintains consistent performance regardless of airflow resistance.

Built with industrial-grade components, including a metal shaft for enhanced structural strength and a strong neodymium magnet positioned to mitigate centrifugal displacement, the fan ensures stable rotation and minimal vibration during high-speed operation.

The fan’s dustproof internal structure protects the drive electronics from contaminants, extending the lifespan to an impressive 50,000 hours at 40°C. The hexadecagon fan frame with geometric ribs and recessed corners enhances rigidity and reduces resonance. Eight anti-vibration rubber pads further decrease noise and vibration.

Featuring 9 CFD-designed curved blades with minimal clearance (0.5 ±0.1 mm) to optimize airflow and static pressure, the fan is constructed entirely from Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) for superior heat dissipation, durability, and low noise. The fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) ensures smooth and long-lasting operation.

Additional highlights include PWM sharing capability, allowing multiple fans to be controlled via a single connection (daisy-chain), making it ideal for sophisticated cooling setups.
