ARCTIC P12 Slim PWM PST - PC Fan, 120mm Fan, PC Case Fan with PWM Sharing Technology (PST), Pressure-optimised, Quiet motor, Computer, Extra slim, 300-2100 rpm - Black

Bought as part of a Windows XP retro machine (x3) build project. Anyone from the 2000's will be able to tell you that back in the day cases were basically steel boxes with next to no airflow. By the 2010's cases changed into this wild-west transition phase from steel boxes, to steel boxes with wacky designs and questionable engineering choices - such as tight meshes, or grills obstructed by drive cages; or even "gamer aesthetics" shapes and bezels that made them look cool (well to some) but not very efficient or effective. What this means is that (even today) you need fans that can produce high-pressure to actually suck the air into the case, as well as expel it out through the exhaust areas. You also want to do this whilst also keeping the sound down. Arctic P12's are perfect for this. For a pack of 5 they are incredibly well priced, well engineered, and certainly pull the air through. Overall they offer a real no-frills solution to a problem that doesn't need excessive over-engineering; though today everyone wants a fishtank filled with ARGB so in that respect these aren't what you're looking for. From own experience clearly a performance upgrade over stock-fans on things like AIO's which, especially budget options, go for high-airflow fans as they tend to be quieter and run at lower rpm. Swapping these in on a few radiators I've seen a few degrees drop (as in 3-4 not unrealistic 10-20 like some people may claim) with less noise profile. All in all a solid and reliable option.

I have three front intake fans, a CPU heatsink fan pointing in the direction of the back vents, and a 140mm top exhaust fan above the CPU, which I figured would be enough for cooling. Apparently not! Adding this fan to the back actually dropped my CPU temperature by around 6C and even dropped the GPU temps by around 3C under full system load. The fan itself is fine. It has PWM, the noise isn't irritating at all, it's very slim but that doesn't seem to impact the performance much. The cable length is reasonable, much longer than the length of an ATX motherboard but probably not long enough to reach the bottom from the top when routing through the back of the case, so make sure you have a close-enough fan connector.

really really good, cheap price just makes them even better use one as intake in my nr200p, and keeps temps nice and low Even replaced the stock aio fans with arctic p14s and could not recommend them any more. Both really easy to install, come with all screws needed for different uses, noise is absolutely minimal, even at higher rpm. Performance is great and dropped my temps, considering the constricted air space of a sff case

Thin version of the popular Arctic P12 PWM PST. Doesn't move much air but at least it does so quietly. Its motor may be a bit wobbly so the fan blades can hit a grille at full RPM if it's too tight against the fan.

The best 120mm slim fan. I keep coming back to these for SFF builds, and they shift more air than alternatives.

Amazing quality and value of these fans, you will see these listed on numerous videos as a "runner up" or a "top 3" but ALL of them will say this is the "best value" fan by far and I agree. I run a ITX build and these guys are my only fans (exhaust fans) and they put in a hell of a shift. They are decently noisy but only when they are ramping up. I dont think any of the more "premium" fans would emit much more noise. These are the best "bang for buck" fans the market will provide for 120mm slim fans and keep my system cool considering.

The fan works perfectly. It is way better than the one I received in my pre-build. The fan has no noise due to any loose component, installation was beginner-friendly, thin design. Fan speed is visible to me through the Armoury Crate application. I'm happy with the purchase.

Easy to install. Quiet. Mounting easy. A highly recommend fan for my old Obsidian 650D chassis. My slim 200mm fan had gone so I just mounted this on the front grill with plastic ties and it works a treat!

top. everything works as described

使っていたファンが厚みがあり、拡張カードと干渉したためこちらを購入しました。期待通りで干渉は無くなりました。

Excellent

Excelente fan. Realmente é bem fina e encaixou no meu gabinete que estava apertado com o AIO muito grande.

Used this in the cooler master nrp200v2 case as bottom intake. Perfect. Brand is very good, quality is great, perfect size. They fit right under my graphics card and pull in fresh air. Not crazy about RGB so the simple black is nice. The sound is also not very loud. I set a quiet fan curve but still moves good amounts of air.
