ARCTIC P12 - User Manual ARCTIC P12 - User Manual

As for the comparison of the paper specifications of the P12 and P12 A-RGB, I really don’t see the technical reason why the static pressure of the P12 at the same speed should be higher by… what, 25%, when at a speed lower by 200 rpm it should be +19%? It makes sense to me the other way round. Of course, a higher static pressure is indirectly caused by the larger hub, if only because it leaves a smaller empty area between the blades. The smaller the fan format, the higher the static pressure per unit of airflow. With the P12 A-RGB, the hoop itself also increases the overall pressure (i.e. static pressure as well) to a certain extent, as I mentioned in the article.

The design of the frame of the P12 is very simple and differs from the others only by the shaped protrusions in the corners where you would expect anti-vibration pads. Arctic doesn’t supply these with this fan, although they would be useful. But again, considering the price, this is something we can’t fault this fan for. In short, a necessary compromise. well, it did once the noise became high enough to make all the finetuing Noctua does irrelevant, at 31dB(A) and below there’s no competition, and I hope we’ll see these lower noise targets soon dimas on Not every Core i5-13400F is the same: Raptor (B0) vs. Alder (C0) lake sejak kapan ada i5 13500F ? kalau i5 13500 dan 13500T itu baru ada. NZXT seems to agree, as the RGB LED ring on the Aer RGB 2 is solely visible on the fan’s intake side. In other words, you’ll only be able to appreciate the Aer RGB 2’s lighting effects when they’re used as exhaust fans. That makes sense, as that’s where high-airflow fans are best used.

ARCTIC P12 PWM PST ARGB - User Manual

Of course, performance isn’t the primary criteria for ARGB fans; aesthetics matter too, and that’s where these Arctic fans fall short slightly. Don’t get us wrong, they’re not bad looking at all, but you may want to look at other options if if you want flashy LED rings and complex lighting setups.If you’re buying RGB fans, then you want them to be spectacular. While there are a ton of great-looking RGB fans out there, Corsair’s QL fans are worth recommending above most others because of their dual-sided RGB rings. These fans are the ARGB versions of the company’s excellent P-series fans, which top our list of the best case fans. The main difference is that the ARGB fans swap the solid fan blades for translucent blades that showcase and diffuse the RGB lighting from the 12 ARGB LEDs in the fan hub.

Noctua NF-A12x25 beats Arctic P12 when it comes to silent PC cases like Nanoxia Deep Silence 8. The lower frequency of P12 is much harder to stop. With mesh cases, a lot is up to personal preference (apart from CPU cooling where NF-A12x25 shows its teeth). Thanks 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 guaranteed when needed. The P12 PWM PST is able to switch into silent passive mode when PWM signal is below 5 % due to its new motor. This allows working at your PC in complete silence without any unwanted noise. Additionally, the 120 mm versions of the new P-fans can be easily mounted to existing Freezer 32 and Freezer 33 models. Conclusion: The P12 PWM PST is a good, solid built fan. With only five blades I am confident that it will run quieter than those with seven or more blades. Of course, this will depend on the speeds. The fan is perfect for the "no frills" people. I know you can't believe it, but there are some out there that just have not embraced RGB and ARGB and that is OK! However, if you wanted the fan to have a little extra pizzaz, you could always use the Akasa Digital 120mm frame with RGB LED lighting to get the bling. I was not disappointedin it, and I don't think you will be. In the budget range, I had particularly counted on the Arctic fans, with the P12 and P12 Max also delivering upper-class performance at a very low price. The Arctic F12s unfortunately don’t quite make the cut of their 140mm sisters and lose out significantly to the P12 models.

The P12 has larger blades compared to the BioniX P120, although it doesn’t seem like it unless one sees those fans side by side. So with the same size hub, the gaps between the blades are naturally smaller on the P12, so there is less room for airflow leakage and higher static pressure is achieved. This means that the airflow loss due to obstacle resistance is smaller with the P12 than with the P120. What has remained similar, on the other hand, is the shape of the fan blades. The Arctic P12 Max feel more massive in terms of the motor and fan blades. And that seems to be relevant by the following point in certain areas: Loudness and Performance So the primary role of the hoop is to stiffen the blade tips, but it also increases the overall fan pressure to some extent as a result. This is because the air streams do not break away from the blade tips as they do with “normal” fans. By these we mean fans from a similar price range, not high-end fans led by the Noctua NF-A12x25, which doesn’t need a framed rotor for a similar and better result. Well, the best study would be with P14 rev. 1 vs. rev. 2, if the same motor is used across revisions and the only difference is really in the (non)presence of the hoop. The Prisma AL-14/PWM is a solid all-around option, and it’ll do well as both an intake and exhaust. We think it’d work best as a static pressure intake fan, though, as there aren’t many 140 mm RGB fans on the market with a comparable static pressure rating.

Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. In this way, less heat develops, less bearing noise is generated and the service life of the fan is extended. zakius on Enermax Liqmaxflo 360 – Hefty, silent and efficient the title says silent but it doesn't even appear on the 36dB(A) chart, that seems...At comparable speeds, Arctic’s five-bladed fan rotors deliver higher airflow than most competing solutions, and even at lower noise levels, aside from the aforementioned rumble. It’s just that this sound is characteristic of early P-series fans. The blades are too long, flexible and made of a material with higher thermal expansion. EK’s EVO 120ER connects to a standard ARGB header on your motherboard. You can also daisy chain EVO 120ERs together, allowing you to control multiple fans through one motherboard header. The Cooler Master Mobius 120P ARGB are thus also the strongest RGB fans in this test run, are followed by the RGB version of the DeepCool FC120 and the ENDORFY Fluctus 120 PWM ARGB.
