Coolink SWiF2-12P 120mm PWM Quiet Cooling Fan
Featuring an innovative, all new 11-blade impeller design that achieves vast improvements in airflow/noise efficiency, the SWiF2 120mm series combines outstanding quietness with excellent performance and a unique, exciting colour scheme.
Features
- Innovative 11-blade impeller design
- High-performance hydro-dynamic bearing
- Protective cable sleeving
- Includes Anti-Vibration bolts and metal screws
- Supports PWM fan speed control
- PWM splitter cable for connecting a second PWM fan
- 8~27 dBA / 35~75 CFM / 800~1700 RPM
This PWM version is perfect for CPU cooling because the fan’s RPM will change depending on the heat generated by the CPU. There is also a handy PWM splitter cable that will allow you connect a second PWM fan, all from one PWM motherboard fan header.
The new hydro-dynamic bearing ensures whisper quiet operation and even better longevity, which is backed up with a massive 60 months warranty. No matter where in your system you plan to install these fans, you can be sure the SWiF2 series provide an exceptional noise to performance ratio that you would expect from Coolink.

Customer Reviews
Good
Bought this for PSU unit. At first glance I did notice a slight noise reduction but then realised that the noise is generated by the turbulence that this fan air flow is making. Did some adjustments and I have to admit that this 1700 rpm fan is really quiet!
Great pwm fan
Very good airflow, low noise. I use two of them with Megahalems and combo is great.
Very poor airflow for the size
First off, just as we know all 90mm fans are often in fact 92mm and we find that most 120mm fans are actually 119mm, so Coolink seem to have played things by the book and gone for 120mm or maybe eve a shade more. Which means its going to be a tight fit and might need some sanding down for some uses/cases.
Secondly, we all know quiet fans seldom shift as much air as the noisier ones. That’s the deal, the trade off. Some fans, such as in my experience the Noctua and Fractal Design ones on this site, really do impress on being well on the clever and effective side of that equation. However, sadly this grey and green monster promises much but delivers only a feeble gentle breeze. Yes its very quiet, but then so is my teddy bear or a pint of milk. I’m thinking of putting an old Panaflo fan back in … and at least it will fit too! For a fan this size air throughput is disappointing even if it is quiet. Wrong side of that trade off equation. Look elsewhere would be my advice
Lots of air at slow speeds
This, and the coolink range, really push and pull air through well at slow and more importantly quiet speeds.
I use a pair of these either side of a water cool rad both pulling in cool air. I then have two of the 80mm Coolink fans drawing hot air out.
The rubber grommet type anti vibration alternatives to screws are great but only usable if you can get your hands or small pliers in the case to pull them through the screw holes.
Very distinctive colour and fan blades leads and connectors are all great quality for the price. Y lead splitters are also included… very handy for running two fans off one connection.
Excellent Product
I bought one of these to replace the stock fan on a Titan Fenrir CPU cooler, I am getting 3 degrees lower temps overall!
FAQ
How do I measure fan size?
The size of fan you need will generally be determined by the size of the fan fitting position in your PC case. The sizes of all the fans on our website are shown as measured along any one of the fan’s four sides, NOT the distance between the fan’s screw holes! Our most popular fan size is 120mm, followed by 80mm. This isn’t really dictated by customer preference, but more by recent designs of PC cases.
As for the thickness (depth) of the fan, generally 25mm (1 inch) is by far the most common depth, although smaller fans can have shallower depths such as 15mm or even 10mm. All our fans are 25mm thick unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions about which fan you should order, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you know the distance between the fan mounting screw holes but don’t know what fan size to order, please see the following table. Note that the mounting hole measurements shown below are taken horizontally or vertically between the holes and not diagonally.
Screw hole spacings and fan sizes
Space Between Screw Holes Fan Size 32mm 40mm 40mm 50mm 50mm 60mm 60mm 70mm 72mm 80mm 83mm 92mm 105mm 120mm I received a small cable (resistor) with my fan; what is it for?
The resistor cable (also called Ultra Low Noise or ULN cable) is designed to allow the fan to run slightly slower for even quieter operation. The benefit in lower running noise is significant. Although the airflow will be reduced slightly, this usually has minimal effect on PC temperature. We would generally recommend using the ULN resistor cable for best results in almost all circumstances.
How can I tell which way the air blows through the fan?
Hold the fan so that the round fan sticker is facing you. You are looking at the rear of the fan. When you plug the fan in, the air will be blowing towards you. If you want a fan to act as an air intake, then the fan sticker will be facing the inside of the case. Some fans also have two small arrows moulded into their plastic housing - one arrow shows the direction of airflow, and the other (at 90°) shows the direction of blade rotation.
Is it possible to use a 4-pin PWM fan or CPU cooler with a motherboard which has only 3-pin fan headers on it?
Electrically, there is no problem doing this - the fourth pin on the fan cable is used purely for PWM control and is not needed in order for the fan to run. So you can plug the 4-pin fan connector onto the 3-pin motherboard fan header, leaving the fourth pin not connected to anything. The fan will potentially run at full speed, so if you would like to reduce the speed of the fan you will need to adjust the fan speed setting in your BIOS or use fan control software such as SpeedFan in Windows.
The only other problem to consider is that occasionally, components immediately adjacent to the motherboard fan header can get in the way of the larger 4-pin fan connector, physically preventing connection. This problem also occurs if you try to use an in-line fan speed controller such as the one made by Gelid.
Another avenue to explore is the possibility of using a bay-mounted fan controller. Several models are available now which provide 4-pin fan headers, so this is an easy way to use 4-pin PWM fans in a PC system which has only 3-pin fan headers on its motherboards. When using this method, you may find it necessary to disable any fan warning settings in your motherboard BIOS, since the motherboard may incorrectly believe that its CPU fan has failed when the fan is connected to a fan controller rather than directly to the motherboard itself.
