Product Information

Then it’s very strange. We use spectrograms instead of sound recordings for sound analysis precisely because we do not want a dispute to arise at the level of subjective perception of individual frequencies. Everyone sees their intensity in spectrograms in the same way and the results of NF-A12x25 PWM clearly show that there is practically no noise that can be perceived by a person when using PWM control. Or if you can hear some sound in the frequency band we are talking about, you should also hear it with Silent Wings 3. Ich habe den ARCTIC P12 PWM Gehäuselüfter für mein PC-Gehäuse gekauft und bin absolut begeistert von seiner Leistung und Zuverlässigkeit. Dieser Lüfter hat meine Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht übertroffen. Auch in Bezug auf das Design überzeugt der ARCTIC P12 PWM. Sein schlankes Aussehen und die schwarze Farbe fügen sich nahtlos in jedes Gehäuse ein und verleihen ihm einen modernen Look. Die neun Lüfterblätter sind optimal gestaltet, um einen effizienten Luftstrom zu erzeugen.

Die PWM-Funktion des Lüfters ist ein weiteres Highlight. Sie ermöglicht eine präzise Steuerung der Lüftergeschwindigkeit, basierend auf der aktuellen Temperatur im Gehäuse. Dadurch bleibt der Lüfter leise, wenn die Temperaturen niedrig sind, und dreht bei Bedarf automatisch schneller, um eine optimale Kühlung zu gewährleisten. Diese Funktion ist besonders praktisch, da sie den Lärmpegel meines Systems reduziert und Energie spart. Only thing better are the Noctua redux for the price. Don't fall for the RGB hype. I've had 3 Silverstone AIO fans fail with the one below these 2 on it's way out! It'll be replaced by a p12 once it fails! The fans at 100% of their speed were doing approximately 53 dB(A) at an ambient of 32 dBA. One of the fans was making 76 dB(A) due to bad bearing. We have to mention this since we are testing these fans. Conclusion

Feedback

The cable is “ordinary” but solid – flat, with the wires holding together nicely. There are two connectors at the end. One to connect the fan to the motherboard or hub/controllers, and the other to daisy-chain another fan. The cable is 40–45 cm in length. In this article, we will take a look at these fans and see what the hype all about is. Item: ARCTIC P12 MAX Pricing: MSRP €12.99 at the time of the Review for a single fan

Here is a table showing RPM range and corresponding airflow and speed measurements of the ARCTIC P12 MAX fan: Die Qualität und Verarbeitung des ARCTIC P12 PWM sind erstklassig. Der Lüfter ist solide gebaut und fühlt sich robust an. Er läuft absolut reibungslos und ohne Vibrationen. Die Montage war kinderleicht und der Lüfter passte perfekt in mein Gehäuse. Zudem ist das mitgelieferte Kabel ausreichend lang, um es problemlos an das Mainboard anzuschließen. The anemometer was placed close to the fan. Since we measure all 120mm fans the same way, the error of margin would apply to all. Acoustic

Customer reviews

If you are looking for a quiet and powerful fan, Arctic has the perfect solution for you! With the Arctic P12 PWM Max fan , the popular Arctic P12 has been equipped with extra cooling performance and now manages to direct even more cool air onto your components. Thanks to the universal frame design and the high static pressure, the Arctic P12 PWM Max fans can be used in cases, on coolers and on radiators. We’ve already tested one 120mm fan with a reduced profile (to 15mm) – the Alphacool SL-15 PWM– this one from Arctic (the P12 Slim PWM PST) differs significantly in its design. The rotor has “only” seven blades, which is relatively small for this fan format, but it is not so surprising for Arctic. It uses fewer blades than usual even on larger fans. Anyway, the important thing is that even a smaller number of blades significantly fills the available cross-sectional area. Starting out, it’s still worth noting that the Arctic P12 compares with the previously tested BioniX P120 A-RGB, although it has seemingly the same rotor – it doesn’t. And there are more than enough differences, including a shorter tunnel (P12) with less rotor clearance from an obstacle, but let’s start the analysis as usual from the top. Each fan has a flat cable with a 4-pin PWM connector to power these fans. PWM range is quite good on these fans. The design of the frame of the P12 is very simple and differs from the others only by the shaped protrusions in the corners where you would expect anti-vibration pads. Arctic doesn’t supply these with this fan, although they would be useful. But again, considering the price, this is something we can’t fault this fan for. In short, a necessary compromise.
