P12 PWM PST (5 Pack)

I'm not going to pretend these are the best fans out there, but these are definitely the best fans I've personally used, and for the price, I honestly can't imagine any other fans doing better. I've been using the stock fans in my case and on my AIO watercooling block from the beginning in a Thermaltake case decked out for silence above all else. It certainly wasn't silent, but it was quiet enough that I didn't want to waste money buying something that might not potentially be quieter anyway. That is, until one of the motors in one of my fans started going out, making a constant high-pitched chirping sound that cut through all background noise despite not being all that loud. Anyway, after a bit of research (and not wanting to spend $30 on each individual fan to get the "best"), I found these, and I absolutely could not be happier. Now my computer is quieter than the fan in my router. The loudest thing in my case is now my AIO pump. I don't like to use superlatives like "silent", since no fan in motion IS, but I can no longer tell if my computer is even on from fan noise. This is as close to silent as I have ever experienced and could EVER possibly need. Pros: -PWM ramps up or down based on need -Unbelievably quiet (literally - I didn't believe they were spinning at first) -Fantastic price for a 5-pack -Each fan has a daisy-chain connection to add more PWM fans to each motherboard header (although the other fans just mimic the primary's speed) -Good static pressure (push/pull config keeps my AIO at least as cool as before and makes less noise at full power than the old ones did idling) Cons: -Max speed isn't too high, so you're trading a bit less noise for a bit less cooling - Minor, since my CPU never cracked 70 in a handbrake encode on years-old thermal paste. Still, with a bit more speed, these could be both quiet and powerhouses Overall: I am beyond pleased with this purchase, and cannot believe I waited this long to make the switch. I was even able to turn off my sound card's noise reduction while voice chatting with friends (they thought I got a better mic, haha). I'm still using one old 3-pin fan in my case since I needed 6, but I'm fine with that running at full blast since it cools the HDD cage. If you're still using stock fans, have a few PWM headers on your motherboard, and enjoy silence, it's definitely worth trying these fans out. For less than the price of a single top-end NH fan, a 5-pack of these things does an undeniably stellar job.

These fans are a true steal at the price they are being sold at and the quality that comes with them. When I first saw the packaging for these fans, it was obvious to me that Arctic puts more thought into these fans than the marketing that most manufacturers do with their boxes and other packaging materials. The fans come in a plain brown box with enough information about the product and that's pretty much it so kudos to Arctic for that. When I took 1 of the fans out to see and feel the quality, I noticed that they really did feel like quality fans and they had a nice hefty and durable feel to them. Nothing on the fan looked cheap nor did it look like Arctic cheapened out anywhere on the fans. The thing that I really noticed was that the cable on the fans were black and not ketchup & mustard sleeves! Thank you Arctic for understand us pc builders! Something that is worth noting is that the fans have a 4-pin PWM plug AND adapter at the end so you can actually daisy chain them should you choose. For me personally, I don't like having the adapter end hanging off to the side of the plug since it creates something extra that I have to cable manage but that's just me and does not, in any way, make the overall product bad. They perform really well with pushing and pulling air around the inside of my pc and are near dead silent when I'm idle on my desktop. I'm not going to test how they sound during gaming because with game sounds going through my headphones, fan noise won't be audible. One thing that I would like to see in the future with these fans are black screws. Yes, the look of the screws won't matter at all in terms of performance, but it would make the overall aesthetics a bit nicer on a computer case.

good and quiet, definitely 75% of noctua if not more at a fraction of the price.

These are by far the quietest fan I've ever heard they move air very well with less amperage

I picked up this 5-pack to replace the four 120mm fans that came with my DARKROCK Classico Storage Master case. The stock fans were basic DC-controlled 3-pin ones, so they pretty much ran at full speed all the time and got noticeably loud, especially since my system stays on 24/7. Swapped in four of these ARCTIC P12s and mounted the fifth as an extra exhaust at the top rear (the case has the spots for it and it fit great). What a nice upgrade. Right away, everything runs so much quieter. At idle or light loads, you barely hear them – they even stop spinning completely sometimes. When I'm pushing the system with heavy tasks that drive up CPU and NVIDIA GPU temps, they ramp up smoothly, move a ton of air, and keep things under control without turning into a wind tunnel. CPU, GPU, and drive temps all dropped 5-8°C, and the whole setup feels cooler and calmer. The daisy-chain PST feature is handy for cleaner cabling, though the routing felt a bit tight in my case at first – took a little tweaking to get it neat, but once I adapted it, the wiring looks way better with less mess behind the motherboard. One minor downside I've noticed on a couple of mine is a slight low hum or vibration at certain mid-range speeds. It's not bad, and you can avoid it by adjusting the fan curve, but in a silent room it stands out a bit. That's why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Still, fantastic bang-for-buck on a 5-pack of reliable, no-nonsense fans. No RGB or extras, just great cooling performance. If your case came with older DC fans, these are an easy and worthwhile swap. Recommend.

Great pack. Silent and efficient. These keep the temps down as desired

Most cases cheap out on the fans. Poor mounting (causing vibration coupled noise), poor fan working rpm range, poor airflow vs rpm, loud, etc. These Arctic fans have a great noise profile over a wide operating range. I paired them with Noctua's Anti-Vibration Fan Mounts and have a very quiet PC.

ノクチュアより個人的に良かった 非常に静か 十分な送風量 買いやすい価格 ケースファンはすべてこれで良いのでは？と思わせるほどの良品

Je viens d'acheter le pack de 5 ventilateurs Arctic P12 PWM PST, et je suis très satisfait de ma décision. Ces ventilateurs offrent un excellent équilibre entre performance et prix. Voici ce que j'aime le plus : Silencieux : Même à des vitesses élevées, ils restent étonnamment silencieux. C'est un vrai plus si vous cherchez à construire un PC silencieux. Performance : Ils offrent un bon flux d'air et une pression statique suffisante pour un refroidissement efficace. J'ai remarqué une baisse de température dans mon boîtier après les avoir installés. Facilité d'installation : L'installation est simple et rapide grâce aux accessoires inclus. Les câbles sont bien conçus et faciles à gérer. Esthétique : Le design est sobre et élégant, ce qui s'intègre bien dans n'importe quel boîtier. Prix : Pour le prix, ces ventilateurs sont vraiment imbattables. Obtenir 5 ventilateurs de qualité à ce tarif est une excellente affaire.

Very good value.

Silencieux

Purchased these fans for a new PC build, three front intake and one rear exhaust. They run very quiet at this point, I have not ramped them up to full speed yet and will likely never have to do so in my case. Installation was easy, no screw issues as I used the screws from the case manufacturer. Nice to have the option to daisy chain them together with the PWM share plugs as there are never enough fan headers on most motherboards. Excellent air movement, solid build quality and awesome performance. What’s not to love about the these fans, would highly recommend.
