ID-COOLING ZF-12025 (120mm/55.2 CFM/1.8 mmH2O Static Pressure/1900 RPM Max/26.0 dBA/Hydraulic Bearing/No RGB/PWM) Review
ID-COOLING ZF-12025 120mm case fan, 55.2 CFM airflow, 1.8 mmH2O static pressure, 1900 RPM max, 26.0 dBA, Hydraulic bearing, No RGB, PWM control. ID-COOLING's plain, non-RGB airflow fan, sold in solid colorways for builders who don't want lighting.
Not every budget build wants RGB, and the ZF-12025 covers that gap in ID-COOLING's lineup with a straightforward, non-illuminated 120mm fan built around the same hydraulic bearing and blade design used across the brand's colorful ARGB fans. It's a sensible pick for builders who want ID-COOLING's typical value pricing without paying for LEDs they won't use.
Value Without Lighting
ID-COOLING is best known for its brightly colored ARGB and pastel fan lines, but the plain ZF-12025 strips that out entirely, passing the savings through as a lower price for builders assembling a non-RGB or minimalist-look system.
Shared Core Hardware
The ZF-12025 uses the same hydraulic bearing and blade profile found in ID-COOLING's ARGB fans, so performance characteristics carry over even without the lighting — it's a genuine cost-down variant rather than a lower-spec product.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the ID-COOLING XF-12025 ARGB TRIO already in this catalog, the ZF-12025 is the non-RGB sibling at a lower price point with comparable core airflow performance. Compared to the Arctic F12 PWM, the two compete directly as plain budget airflow fans with similar positioning.
