Arctic P12 Slim PWM PST (3 Pack) - PC Fans, 120mm Case Fan with PWM Sharing Technology (PST), Pressure-optimised

These fans are surprisingly nice! Their 15mm thickness means they fit well in smaller cases, they were perfect for my Cooler Master Qube 540 build. They're very quiet, nearly silent at low speeds and still quiet at full speed. No humming, ringing, whining, etc. The airflow is pretty good for their small size, and they keep my PC nice and cool. They also don't draw much current, which means you can safely connect multiple fans to a single fan header using a splitter cable.

From a sheer performance perspective, and I'm talking pushing the most air through your case or into a heatsink, and doing so quietly, these fans are tough to beat. Considering they're only 15mm thick, I put them into my own best-of-class category. But while they do work great, they are on the flimsy side. I'll give you an example. After looking up the stats and reading some reviews, I decided to replace a competitor fan (name begins with 'Noc') with the P12 Slim in a sub-5 liter mini-itx case. I found the P12 to have slightly better performance by 2-3 degrees C in my case overall, with the noise the same as the Noc, at less than half the price. Only, when I first closed the case, the P12 wobbled at slow speeds, making an obvious noise along with it at startup and shutdown. This lasted for about 3 startups/shutdowns and just went away. I checked cables and all were clear, so it had to be coming from the fan. Considering its the same size as the other fan, which had no weird noise issues, I just felt the word flimsy came to mind. Maybe it twisted slightly to fit or something? I couldn't tell by looking. I'm not going to take a star off for this, but just be aware. I would have returned it if things didn't settle down. But it did, and it's been great, and mostly quiet, as the primary cooling fan for a Ryzen 9 7945HS. I'm not undervolting, and yet my temps are stable and well under 80C in normal use with temporary spikes up to 88C max. For the performance and value for the money, this is one of the best fans on the market at the 15mm height size.

I installed these two slim fans in the GPU bay of my Fractal Design Node 202 mini-ITX case to help cool an RTX 4070. They immediately dropped GPU temperatures by at least 10 degrees C under load, while also reducing overall noise because the noisy GPU fans no longer need to spin up as high. The cable length is generous and works well for the Node 202, and since these fans can be daisy chained, I didn't need any additional adapters to plug the fans into a single fan header on my motherboard. I went with these Arctic fans over Noctua, because they're nearly half the price and still very quiet. Overall, I'm very happy with them.
