FL12 INF, FD12 V2, FD12 ARGB V2, and FD36 ARGB formed the centerpiece of DeepCool’s new fan lineup at Computex 2026. Rather than chasing flashy specifications alone, the company focused on everyday issues PC builders deal with, such as cable clutter, installation time, vibration, and fan noise. The result is a refreshed family of cooling fans with new blade designs, simplified connections, and several options for both RGB and non-RGB builds.
DeepCool has added ARGB infinity mirrors around the outer frame of FL12 INF, creating a continuous lighting effect when several fans are connected side by side. Instead of looking like separate lighting zones, the fans blend together into a single illuminated section across the case interior.
The fan retains DeepCool’s daisy-chain design, allowing multiple fans to connect through a simplified wiring arrangement. For builders working inside dual-chamber cases or glass-panel enclosures, fewer cables can make a noticeable difference during assembly and cable routing.
Black and white versions will be available, along with standard and reverse-blade variants. Reverse-blade fans have become increasingly common in modern showcase builds because they allow airflow direction to be maintained without exposing the less attractive rear side of the fan.
DeepCool redesigned the FD12 V2 and FD12 ARGB V2 around what it calls a closed fan wheel structure. A ring connects the outer tips of the blades, creating a more rigid design than a traditional fan blade arrangement.
This design has become a common feature in high-performance cooling solutions. Linking the fan blade tips together helps create a more focused airflow path while minimizing air disruption around the outer edges, which can improve overall cooling efficiency.
According to DeepCool, the revised design delivers higher airflow, stronger static pressure, lower operating noise, and roughly seven percent more effective cooling area than the previous generation.
That improvement may be particularly useful for liquid-cooling radiators, tower heatsinks, and cases with restrictive front panels, where airflow resistance is often higher than in open-air environments.
The FD12 ARGB V2 receives DeepCool’s second-generation eight-pin daisy-chain connection. Each fan carries nine ARGB LEDs, allowing synchronized lighting across multiple units while reducing the number of cables running through the chassis.
The standard FD12 V2 takes a different direction. RGB lighting is absent, and connectivity relies on a traditional four-pin PWM connector. Many builders still prefer simpler cooling setups without lighting effects, particularly in workstation and productivity-focused PCs.
DeepCool is preparing black and white versions for both models, alongside forward and reverse airflow options.
Instead of packaging three separate fans, DeepCool combines three 120 mm fans into a single frame. Installation becomes faster because users mount one unit rather than aligning and securing three individual fans.
The design reduces mounting time, minimizes alignment issues, and helps create a cleaner appearance inside the chassis.
DeepCool has taken an interesting approach to noise reduction with the FD36 ARGB. Rather than running all three fans at identical speeds, each fan operates slightly differently. The goal is to reduce harmonics and vibration that can occur when multiple fans spin at the same speed.
A cooling setup may move plenty of air while producing a repetitive tone that becomes noticeable during everyday use. Slight speed variations can help break up those frequencies and create a smoother acoustic profile.
DeepCool has not announced pricing for the FL12 INF, FD12 V2, FD12 ARGB V2, or FD36 ARGB. Retail availability details are expected at a later date.
