PSAD1A238BH 120mm 12V 6000 RPM Cooling Fan for Antminer ASIC Miner
The PSAD1A238BH is a 120x120x38mm 12VDC square cooling fan built for ASIC mining chassis. With a rated current of 1.75A, 6000 RPM rated speed and a 4-wire connector (12V + GND + Tach + PWM), it provides the high-static-pressure airflow needed to push air across the hashboard heatsinks in Antminer S9 and similar miner chassis.
Ball bearing construction is the key reliability feature: plain-bearing 12cm fans rarely make it past 12 months of continuous mining duty before drying out. The PSAD1A238BH is built for the 24/7 service life expected on production farm units.

Where the PSAD1A238BH fits in the miner
The 120x120x38mm form factor matches the standard fan apertures on Antminer S9-class chassis. The 4-wire connector pin-out provides 12V power, ground, a tach signal read back to the control board for fan-stop detection and a PWM input for speed control. Wide-angle blades deliver high static pressure — the right airflow profile for pushing air through the densely finned hashboard heatsinks.
Compatibility
Replacement fan for the 120x120x38mm 4-wire position on Antminer S9 chassis and other ASIC miners that use the same form factor and connector pin-out. Confirm the 4-pin connector orientation against the miner's control-board fan header before plugging in. For 4-pin variants with different RPM ratings, see the KZ12038B012X.
Common failure symptoms
Miner dashboard shows fan-stop or fan-low alarm at boot
Audible bearing rattle or grinding from front or rear of the chassis
Hashboard temperature climbs to throttle threshold under sustained load
Visible dust impaction blocking the 120mm aperture
Fan spins up then stalls — typical of a dried ball bearing on a tired unit
Frequently asked questions
Is this a 4-wire PWM fan?
Yes — the PSAD1A238BH carries 12V + GND + Tach + PWM. The miner control board can both monitor fan speed and command PWM duty.
How does it compare to the KZ12038B012X?
Both are 120x120x38mm 12V 4-wire fans. The PSAD1A238BH is rated at 1.75A / 6000 RPM; the KZ12038B012X variant runs at 2.80A. Pick by the original spec marked on the miner's fan label.
Does it work in immersion deployments?
The PSAD1A238BH is an air-cooled fan; for immersion conversions use a fan simulator instead — the immersion control board will throw a fan-stop alarm without one.
Do you stock other 12cm fan variants?
Yes — KZ12038B012X 2.80A and DF1203812B2UN 12cm variants are stocked alongside this PSAD1A238BH.
