Review: Great fan at good prices - I recently picked up the ARCTIC P12 Max, and I have to say, it's a solid fan for the price. It delivers great performance at an affordable cost. The fan has a wide speed range (200 to 3,300 RPM), so it's really versatile – it can run quietly at lower speeds and cool like a beast when you need it to. At full speed, it pushes a lot of air and offers decent static pressure, which makes it great for both case cooling and radiators. The build quality is good, and the double ball bearings should make it last a long time. The only downside I noticed is that it's a bit noisier at higher speeds compared to some other types of bearings, but it's not unbearable. It also comes with anti-vibration pads to reduce noise, which helps a lot. Installation is simple, and I really appreciate the six-year warranty – definitely a sign of confidence from ARCTIC. Overall, this is a great value fan that does exactly what you need it to without costing a fortune. If you're looking for solid cooling without breaking the bank, this is a great option.
Review: Good for the money, but you need PWM - This fan is really effective because it doesn't muck about. At full tilt it is pretty loud, but darned effective. It also doesn't have an annoying high-pitched sound but sounds like a lot of OE fans with more of a roaring, whirring sound. You won't find a better fan for the money and it's able to shove enough air to cool a modest gaming PC on it's own. It's particularly good as a "pressure" fan, smooshing lots of air through grills and radiators. You could run it at full speed if nobody was going to be working nearby, but I would recommend PWM. It's the one fan on my gaming rig and it never gets to full speed as it does a good enough job it doesn't need to.

## Features

- FLUID DYNAMIC BEARING: Long service life, silent operation at low speeds and powerful performance at maximum speed. All P12 Max fans sold by ARCTIC are now equipped with fluid dynamic bearing. Please note that products from resellers may still be sold with double ball bearings.
- DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE: Due to the high static pressure, the fan guarantees efficient cooling even with increased air resistance. Suitable for use on heat sinks & radiators
- WIDE RPM RANGE: Thanks to the 4-pin connector, the speed can be controlled via PWM. Below 5 % PWM the fan stands still, above 5 % it is infinitely variable between 200-3300 rpm
- PROVEN FAN DESIGN: The closed ring fan wheel enables low-vibration rotation at high speeds and strong resistances while maintaining high static pressure
- OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: Most powerful 120 mm fan, 25 years of experience, direct customer support, many years of spare parts supply, CO2 neutral company

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arctic p12 desktop pc fan
*by V***A on 31 May 2024*

Good and powerful,value for money,easy to instal.Bought 2 of them for my desktop to replace some stock ones for better cooling.Aftet replacing the ones I had,system,pch and Mos temperature dropped with about 5-7°C.Only issue is that they can get a bit noisy when running above 70% capacity.Not a problem if you use headphones for gaming.
