ARCTIC P12 PWM PST - PC Fan, 120mm Fan, PC Case Fan, Pressure-optimised

Not good

Hello Everyone! I’m here to review the Arctic P12 PWM PST fans so please allow me the few minutes of your time to go over why these fans should be your next purchase! First things first, I want to make it clear that this is not my first rodeo with these fans, I’ve actually purchased these fans many times, in all variations. For the sake of this review, I will be reviewing the White variants though the Black ones, ARGB ones, RGB ones, and opaque ones also apply to this review. The Shipping: I bought these not long ago, they took a couple days to get here but not long at all! I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived a few days early. I bought 6 with this order and they arrived in a bag with absolutely no damage. The Build Quality: These fans are (mind the language) sexy. They’re classy and robust. The fans and housing are a little thicker than normal fans but they’ll still fit in most cases. Actually, I found them extremely easy to install lol. While I forgot to take a picture of the fans themselves, I’ll leave a picture of what they look like inside my case (I have 3 in the front, one in the rear, and 2 on each side of my cpu cooler). The Performance: These fans are legendary. I build computers for a living and I do a ton of research into parts that perform well without costing a fortune, I’m happy to say that these fans are basically the cremé of the crop when it comes to price to performance. These fans are just extremely high end fans with a budget pricepoint. I’ve tested these against the “world renowned” or “gold standard” Noctua A12s and Noctua P12s and I was completely astonished by what I saw. These fans perform very similarly to these enthusiast-level fans but are considerably cheaper! My aforementioned addition of these fans to my cpu cooler has provided me with an insight on how great these fans pair with budget coolers. I have a SE-224-XT White (which I also wrote a review on) which is a very budget cooler that pulls its own weight and thought it was great but felt off with only one fan, I replaced the stock fan with 2 of these (one on each side as pictured) and my cooler went from great budget cooler to absolutely phenomenal budget cooler. I won’t get into specifics this time around because I went into full detail in the review of my cpu cooler but all you need to know is, my cpu cooler now performs like a higher end cooler because of the amazing performance that these fans provide. These fans are also extremely quiet The Value: As I’ve said in the last section, these fans perform like higher end and higher priced Noctua offerings. These fans cost me $9 a piece and perform like they cost twice as much! The actual performance per dollar here is absolutely unbelievable.

Il me sert en bas du boitier à faire rentrer de l'air, il est silencieux et rempli son rôle.

Good fan at a great price. Humming noise at full speed but just like every other fan. Good airflow to slightly reduce temp for OC.

did a lot of reviews on 120mm fan and decided to go with the artic p12. no regrets. this thing is quiet. i recently purchased a Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 aio cooler and it was loud when the cpu was on high load. swapped the arctic p12 in and it is so much quieter than before. no regrets. i would get these fans again.

Um bei heißen Temperaturen meinen Tower Absorber Kühlschrank im Wohnwagen etwas bessere Kühlleistung durch Abluft der Abwärme zu schaffen, baute ich mir einen 360er Radiator. Dazu verwende ich seit jahren schon ARCTIC PWM Lüfter, gerne in der DST (Daisychain Variante). Dadurch lassen sich die Lüfter untereinander verbinden (Lüfter an Lüfter an Lüfter) Also 3 Lüfter an einen PWM Anschluss anschließen. Den passenden PWM Controller habe ich ebenfalls hier bei Amazon gekauft. Um das ganze am weißen Wohnwagen auch hinter den Lüftungsgittern unauffällig zu halten, bestellte ich mir diesmal die weiße 120mm PWM PST Variante. ARCTIC sind mir durch meine jahrelange Nutzung durch ihre Zuverlässigkeit, geringe Leistungsaufnahme/Stromverbrauch aber vor allem dadurch das sie sehr leise sind (nur ein leises Rauschen bei Vollast) und ihren hervorragenden Luftdurchsatz bekannt. Hier das Ergebinss meines Eigenbau Radiators für den Wohnwagen. Kühlschrank hat auch jetzt bei der Hitze keinerlei Probleme kalt zu bleiben, was ein allegemeines Problem bei Absorber Kühlschränken eigenmtlich ist.
