Compact 50 mm chassis fan

The StarTech FAN5X1TX3 is a 50 mm square, 10 mm thick case fan designed to add spot cooling inside tight chassis. It suits builders who need a small replacement fan for legacy enclosures or compact industrial PCs. It is not for buyers who need higher airflow for modern high-wattage components or larger mounting holes.

Three-pin TX3 connector limits

The fan terminates in a 3-pin TX3 female connector that plugs directly into compatible motherboard headers or fan controllers. Speed reporting is supported, but voltage control depends on the header capabilities. Builders whose boards only offer 4-pin PWM headers or proprietary fan plugs cannot use this fan without an adapter.

4500 RPM ball-bearing airflow

At 4500 RPM the single ball-bearing impeller delivers 8.63 CFM at a rated 25 dBA. The ball bearing is the deciding specification for continuous operation in orientations where sleeve bearings would wear prematurely. If your thermal target requires substantially more static pressure or lower noise, this model will not meet it.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 50mm fan or a different size?

This fan measures 50mm square and 10mm thick. Check your case mounting holes and clearance before ordering.

What does 4500 RPM actually deliver in my case?

At 4500 RPM the fan moves 8.63 CFM of air while producing 25 dBA of noise.

What does the TX3 connector limit me to?

The 3-pin TX3 female plug connects directly to a matching motherboard or controller header; speed is controlled by voltage on that header.
