180 mm radiator-optimised fan

The Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-18 is a single 180 mm case fan built for high-airflow cooling. Its 38 mm thick frame houses massive blades driven by a high-grade LLS bearing rated for 90000-hour MTTF. PWM control provides a 300 to 1200 RPM range for precise speed management.

Suits water-cooling radiators.

This fan targets builders fitting 180 mm radiators or case positions that demand high static pressure and quiet operation. The wide RPM span and aerodynamic stator struts keep noise between 16 and 35.4 dB(A) while delivering 44.9 to 153.7 CFM. Systems limited to 120 mm mounting points cannot accommodate the 180 mm frame.

180 mm x 38 mm physical footprint

The decisive specification is the 180 mm by 38 mm size, which dictates case and radiator compatibility. Four standard fan screws and four extra-long radiator screws are included for direct mounting. Verify that your chassis or radiator supports this exact footprint before purchase.

Questions about this item

How long can the LLS bearing sustain continuous operation at the top 1200 RPM speed?

The high-grade LLS bearing is rated for 90 000 hours mean time to failure, giving long-term reliability under continuous operation.

What noise level does the fan produce when running at maximum speed all day?

At the highest 1200 RPM setting the sound level reaches 35.4 dBA, while at the lowest 300 RPM it drops to 16 dBA.

What motherboard header is required to run the PWM speed control?

A standard 4-pin PWM header is needed; the fan draws its power and speed signal from that single connector.
