## Overview

The ARCTIC P12 is a 120mm pressure-optimized PC case fan delivering 56.3 CFM airflow at 1800 RPM with an ultra-quiet 0.3 Sone noise level. Featuring a German-engineered fluid dynamic bearing for long service life and minimal friction, it excels in cooling heatsinks and radiators. Its innovative blade design maximizes airflow while minimizing noise, making it ideal for professional-grade, silent PC builds. Backed by a 6-year warranty, the P12 is a reliable, high-performance cooling solution for demanding users.

## Description

Product description Optimised for Static Pressure During the development of the new P12, special emphasis was placed on a focused airstream and thus a high static pressure. The fan assures extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P12 is particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators. Lower Power Consumption A 10 °C lower motor temperature roughly doubles the life span of a fan. The new ARCTIC motor has a four times longer service life through its low coil temperature. High Quality Bearing Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. As a result, there is less heat development as well as less bearing noise, which means you can enjoy a longer service life from your fan. Highly Efficient The ARCTIC P12 Case Fan is the ultimate PC-Cooler solution.

Review: Arctic fans are extremely reliable, and the best price to performance ratio. - 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.
Review: Good Value Low Profile Fan - 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have a whining noise on different rpm? my sounds unbearable**
A: I have couple installed, and it produced a horrible whinning noise. Another reason I placed my pc on my table so the noise is even worse.
That high pitch noise is like bee or mosquito... very annoyed. And it happens at certain RPM and the pitch also changes slightly along with the RPM. So sometimes it's come and go, I even doubt my self. But everytime it happens it just annoyed.

Not sure it's quality control issue. But I purchased in July, 2020.

**Q: Are the daisy chain cable gauges thick enough to support 7 or 8 fans daisy chained together? i plan to power it through a sata cable**
A: Arctic says you can daisy chain up to 5 fans together.  I assume you have a Case Fan Splitter Cable with SATA Power connector for them so I guess that will work. Normally, I use them to connect to MB to control the fans and used splitters for two top and two front fans but I bought the PWM version for that reason and my MB had that capability. Newer MB will control all case fans vs older ones don't.

**Q: Trae splitter el p12 no pwm?**
A: no traen

**Q: can i use the p12/p12 silent as a exhaust fan?**
A: of course, can use them on anything that has a 120MM fan slot
