Arctic P12 Pro PST - Powerful Premium Fan, 120 mm PWM Fan with Y-Cable Splitter, 600-3000 RPM

However, unlike a mother-in-law, you can easily turn the noise down on these. These fans can be SUPER LOUD- but that's because they spin almost twice as fast as the competition. You will need to set new fan curves to account for a 3000rpm fan. For example, unless CPU temperatures reach north of 90 degrees celsius, my P12s will always spin below 60% speed- effectively matching the Noctuas with a MUCH higher headroom. Once I figured that out, these became my new favorite PC fans. It feels like Arctic spent money where it counts on these fans- in high-quality plastics, rubber vibration damper mounts, and smart engineering. My main gripe with these fans is the daisy chaining. The PWM splitter connectors are oriented in a weird way- the plug to power the fan is oriented behind the plug to provide power to another fan, making installation interesting. Adding these fans to my 240mm radiator was a breeze (pun intended), and I noticed a decrease in CPU temps. I bought these mainly to de-RGB my PC build, and so far so good. Ultimately, the P12 pro's are great fans and my new go-to, and they're probably the best value for money fan on the market today. The price and surprising build quality you get with it makes them my new go-to over Noctuas.

Used a pair of these to replace the Fans on my Pure Loop 2. The same fans used by Arctic in their Liquid Freezer. Way better than the included fans, cable managing was a bit of a faff but easy to install onto the radiator and perform better than the stock fans. They are quiet as well, the pump slightly louder than the fans are on idle, and they only spin on boot or for a few moments when a game or high demanding application is launched. Best part is they double as intake, so they bring in cool air to the GPU as the AIO is mounted at the bottom.

Those complaining about the noise of this fan don't understand what they're buying. This is a 3000RPM fan. It will be loud at anywhere near that speed, just like any other fan that goes that high, regardless of price. However, their magic happens when you put them up against other fans at similar RPMs. At about 1800RPM, matching my Noctua NF-A12x25 max speed, practically speaking, they are of equal noise. The sound profile is pretty similar as well. When you consider that I paid $9.50 for one of these versus $35 for the Noctua, that's extremely impressive. These are also a great choice for a deshrouded GPU. My MSI Ventus 3X 3080 had horribly noisy stock fans. Took those off and strapped two of these bad boys onto it, limited the RPM to 2000, and the results are extraordinary. It's whisper quiet, and I've yet to see the temperature go above 71 degrees Celsius. This is in a Lian Li A3 mATX case, mind you--a small, confined area. To sum it all up, if noise is a concern, limit these to about 2000RPM. You'll get nearly Noctua performance for a third of the price. An extraordinary value.

These fans are incredibly powerful and move a good amount of air. The reason I knock off a star is because they sound like a jet plane taking off unless you run them below 60%.

I purchased two of these fans to add a new better performing tower air cooler to my new PC. I chose these fans because they come with an inline power cable splitter that allowed me to easily create a push/pull cooling fan system for the cooler without having to buy a separate splitter. This is a neater cabling solution. I've only used these for a few days, but they've worked well and run quietly while providing the rpm range (600-3000) that I need.
