---|---|---|---|
Optimised for Static PressureDuring the development of the new P12 PWM PST, 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 PWM PST is particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators. |
Extended Life SpanA 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. |
200 to 1800 RPM (0 RPM <5 %) regulated via PWMThanks to the 4-pin connector, the RPM can be regulated in a broad spectrum via PWM. In this way, noise is kept at a minimum while maximum cooling performance is assured when needed. |
High Quality BearingThanks 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. |

I used all five of these fans on a new PC build. Two of them went in tandem on a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. The others are used in various places in the case.
These are pressure-optimized fans. Think of that as a lower gear. They don't move as much air as some others, but in a constricted environment, like a CPU case, they provide more air pressure. They are best used as case intake fans or with a CPU cooler. You may wish to use a flow-optimized fan for an exhaust fan.
Using two of these fans in a push-pull configuration on a Hyper 212 Evo heat sink turns it into a $100 cooler (they are really good coolers for $35 normally). It absolutely handles a 9700K with no problem at all. I thought I'd try it, but was sure I'd have to upgrade the cooler. It's impossible to get the CPU over 75C without cranking in more voltage than I'm comfortable with. My highest stress test was all-core 5.2ghz and only then did temps approach 90C. Very impressive.
Under normal operation the fans are silent. As I type the two fans on the CPU are only running at 700RPM, the others at 1000. Again you really have to stress the CPU to even hear them at all. By that I mean run a program that intentionally pegs all cores at 100% constantly. I don't even hear the computer while gaming.
When shopping around I found that you can actually pay $25 or more each for so called "quiet" fans. I don't think they can get much quieter than these that cost less than a quarter that.
If your building a system you should consider using these for all your intake fans and CPU cooler fans if you need them. Perhaps a high CFM fan for the exhaust would be more appropriate.
Cons: No flashy lights. (If you consider that a con, I don't)
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.

The 5-pack specifically is an excellent value. I just bought a pack and grab a fan whenever I need it instead of ordering some overpriced fan and wait for it to arrive.
It comes with a builtin splitter too, which is nice when you don't have enough fan headers. Of course it doesn't have things like RGB, but I don't want that anyways.
