ARCTIC P12 Slim PWM PST - 120 mm Case Fan with PWM Sharing Technology (PST), Pressure-optimised, Quiet Motor, Computer, Extra Slim, 300-2100 RPM - Black - ACFAN00187A

EDIT: Double check the fan's frame when you receive it. Two of my units were broken because of poor packaging, out of which it was difficult to see the crack in the second one at all. Suffice to say the fan is a weak plastic that breaks easily under mild pressure. ---- This is probably the only silent slim fan on the Indian market as of now. A few offline retailers have the Silverstone RGBs, but they're, well, RGB. This is really quiet and moves a surprising amount of air despite its thickness. I have fans from Noctua, Deepcool, Phanteks and Arctic and I feel that Arctics beat the Noctuas in performance and normalized noise tests, in general. This Arctic is no different. I'd say it feels like about 60-65% of the performance of a full sized fan, which is not bad at all. It doesn't come with anti-vibration pads and the wire feels a bit fragile. The included screws are also subpar, but usable. Eitherway, such a great thing to have, especially in an SFF desktop.

The product comes as stated; plain, powerful working with premium quality and assurance of Arctic. Big Thumbs-UP!

Good just perfect for an matx case.

The best Dlim fans, they silent and comes with screws for radiator, best fans if you want to will it on AIO

Best quality I converted this one to graphic cooler & it is working awesome.

Very nice air flow and CFM 120mm fan, I am using it as an additional intake fan on my Fractal meshify 2 case. My AIO has 3*140mm fans (420mm liquid freezer 2) installed in exhaust mode on top of case, the intake airflow was lesser than that pushed out by AIO hence unflitered air was entering from back panel and gaps increasing dust. addition of this fan as an extra intake fan has reduced this a lot

Don't Buy

Not very goood if we compare with other non slim Versions Bad airflow with dis

I used this fan specifically to swap out the fan in the Sabrent 5 bay hard drive enclosure because I wanted something that: - was quieter - was temperature controlled without the need for an extra temperature controller - constantly runs but at a very low speed when there's no need for extra cooling - designed for high static pressure This met all those requirements and at an extremely attractive price point. Additionally in my situation it also has a higher top speed than the fan it replaced meaning it can flow more air than stock. This fan does experience the same resonance issues that Arctic's P-series fans have at certain speeds but that's not a huge issue in the end.

Excellent

Hello Everyone! I’m here to review the Arctic P12 PWM PST fans so please allow me the few minutes of your time to go over why these fans should be your next purchase! 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.

Performs almost the same potential as my Noctua NF A12x15 but at much , much lesser $$$. Worth it.

Needed a slim fan for my mini PC build as the water cooling radiator is in the way... Fairly quiet, does the job! Good pricing point!
