P12

I've been building personal computers since I was a small child, back when they ran DOS and Windows was yet to be a thing. I've built them professionally for others, and have never purchased a prebuilt PC in my life outside of laptops. I've used a lot of different fans. I've tried a lot of brands. I never turn my PCs off, they run 24/7. I have worn out a lot of fans. The only brand where I have never had a failure is Arctic. These fans are incredibly reliable. They are also quiet in their own way. I say this because many arctic fans have a fairly thumpy motor. That is in the actual terms, they have a lot of magnetic cogging. This can transfer a lower pitch almost rumble to the equipment they are mounted on. Acoustically this is generally unnoticeable, and the sound profile of the blades is basically non existent. These are seriously quiet. The cogging noise they do make is generally pleasant, unlike many fans out there. This particular model is great for radiators and other slightly restrictive flow arrangements. It produces a much higher delta pressure between the high and low side before the air stream cavitates and becomes a swirly mess with no flow. I put these fans in all sorts of equipment that I need to both quiet down, and just forget about for years without touching again. Things like freezers and fridges that use small booster fans, ice makers, and of course computers. I use these in my office to maintain a gentle flow across my Unifi rack. I have one on an 80v audio amplifier providing music to a mall for a tourist town. This fan isn't the fastest or highest flow. For that you'd want one of their other offerings. However if you need a general use, or water cooling specific 120mm fan, you cannot go wrong with these. You can populate every vent in your tower case and still not hear it when you power it on.

I picked these up to use in an matx build with limited space. For a low-profile fan I am satisfied with their performance. These were excellent for the price, they come with hardware that bores into the plastic rather than threading cleanly. The wires were a good length and were able to fit cleanly in an matx build. They are practically silent with no noticeable vibration (I have my pc right next to my mouse) and do a good job keeping my computer cool during high temp activities. I'll likely upgrade to an aio cooler and use these in another build or use one for exhaust. I cannot comment on the durability, as they seem fairly robust but

I really like these Arctic case fans a lot. I have used them for several years and they are very quiet, reliable, and keep my computer very cool. I only buy Arctic brand fans for my cooling needs now and would highly recommend them to anyone that wants a superior, quiet cooling fan that you can count on to do a great job.

I chose this fan because I didn’t want to completely cheap-out on something that I hope will last at least a few years. I also do a lot of audio narration near my computer, so I needed something that was quiet yet effective. This fan is absolutely perfect so far. It looks cool and has a great build quality. The wires are solid black which matches my other case fans and it’s extremely quiet. It also seems to move a lot of air around, which is the point of having a fan of course. Overall wonderful PC case fan that claims to carry a 6 year warranty.

No trouble with overheating or anything and they run dead quiet very good very nice

I tested it at 5 VDC and 12VDC. It is nice and quiet. There is a link to the Arctic website, about halfway down the page of this item, that says "User Guide (PDF)". When you follow that link, it just shows you a scan code or URL to get to the P12 manual page. At the Arctic site, under "Controlling A Fan / In a DYI Project" there is a chart showing that the max RPM at 12VDC is 1000RPM. I have posted that chart here. Apparently that graph is not the correct one (read test below). Then I stuck it on my Gigabyte Aorus B450 motherboard and found that the speed sensor is not working, although I could throttle the speed up and down manually using the BIOS utility. Probably won't return it because I really do not need the tach sensor. I hooked it up to a ATX power supply and read the RPM with a laser photo tach. Result at 12V: 1840 rpm. So, I believe the 1800rpm rating. I also tested it while used in a solder fume extractor and it worked okay, although I do not have the activated filter installed yet.

I installed it easily and it's been working impeccably and noiselessly!

Quiet. Since the fan is high rpm, it caused case vibrations in one location, however it was OK in another location. Be aware that it may require some tweaking to get the best out of it.

Silenziosissima, ben bilanciata, grande flusso d'aria! Davvero un ottimo acquisto

Ich schreibe meine persönliche Meinung zu denn Artikel Qualität: Die Qualität der Lüfter ist wirklich sehr gut leicht in der Anwendung und machen für denn kleinen Preis einen hochwertigen Eindruck Kühlleistung: Die Lüfter kühlen sehr gut und haben einen sehr guten Luft Durchzug Lautstärke: Die Lautstärke der Lüfter hat mich positiv beeindruckt selbst auf 100% Drehzahl ist der Lüfter zu hören ja aber nicht so laut als würde ein Flugzeug Abheben in Gegenteil angenehm leise bleibt er und auf normal Speed hört man denn Lüfter so gut wie gar nicht Fazit: Wer gute und günstige Lüfter sucht ist hier genau richtig sie bieten eine hervorragende kühlleistung und bleiben dabei sehr leise wie es sein sollte kann ich nur empfehlen

Je n’ai jamais vu de ventilateurs aussi performants dans cette gamme de prix. Achetés en 2021, ils tournent encore parfaitement en 2025, sans le moindre signe de faiblesse. Utilisés lors de longues sessions de jeu, ils n’ont jamais lâché et maintiennent des températures stables, même en charge élevée. En plus de leur efficacité, ils sont extrêmement silencieux, ce qui les rend idéaux pour un PC gamer ou bureautique. En résumé : un produit fiable, puissant et endurant. Merci ARCTIC pour cette qualité irréprochable.

The best fan in this price range. No RGB or extra features

Pedi 3 ventiladores para mi PC y los instale sin ningun problema, no son ruidosos y funcionan sin problemas, solo la primera vez que los instale tuve que modificar la velocidad a max (1800rpm) desde el BIOS porque senti que la velocidad normal es muy poca (700-800 rpm). como dato extra, hay que tener en cuenta que la primera vez que les colocas los tornillos hay que hacerles el hilo (thread) aplicando un poco de fuerza, esto es un estándar en la mayoría de los ventiladores, lo cual es bueno ya que te asegura que no causen vibraciones por un hilo mal hecho de fabrica.
