What’s up everyone, Erik here and welcome to Hardware For Gamers. In this video, we’ll be taking a look at the Arctic P12. So let's see how many Noctua fan boys will unsubscribe, because I say something they don’t like.
Just to let you know there are time stamps in the description. So you can jump to whatever interests you, but I do recommend you watch the whole review. Now Starting off with a quick overview of the P12 series from Arctic, there are 7 fans in there P12 series.
So there is the
P12 with a 3 pin fan connector.
P12 PWM with a 4 pin fan connector.
P12 PWM PST with a 4 pin fan connector with built in splitter.
P12 PWM PST CO which again has a 4 pin fan connector with built in splitter, now CO Stands of Continuous Operation so these are really meant for servers .
P12 Silent which has a 3 pin fan connector and a lower rated max RPM of 1050.
P12 TC - TC stands for temperature controlled, It has a 3 pin fan connector and a temperature sensor lead built in.
And finally P12 PWM PST RGB which has a 4 pin fan connector with built in splitter and a 4-Pin 12V R-G-B Connector.

GREAT fans at FANtastic (shoot me i know... hahaha) prices. Grabbed a 5 pack +1 for the last build and stuffed 3 into the new build. PWM-PST is great when you have 1-2 fan headers. Old pc is an i5-10600k with an 5600xt with a limited airflow front panel, 3 of these exact fans in the front. New pc is an i7-10900k and 6900xt with 3 of these fans in the front behind mesh. Either scenario, they work great at keeping things cool. I use the Arctic f12 series for the rear and top of both cases and have now converted my friends' sons into Arctic fan and cooler users. Prices are amazing when you can grab a 5 pack of these fans for $25-30 USD. I have spent that on one of those 'brown' fans alone and these perform at basically the same levels as that fan so It is without hesitation for me to recommend Arctic products to all I know. Take a look at the AIO coolers! or the Freezer 34 duo that nearly matches a massive cooler that costs more than double! (Looking at you Dark rock pro 4) Arctic, can you tell I'm a big '"fan"? lol (Yeah I know... biggus dorkus) HFG keep up the quality videos dude!

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

yeah the value packs are a crazy good price, 5 fans for the price of 1.5 fans is like wow.

@bullyakker 2 года назад

@@HardwareForGamers Absolutely. I caught some videos before I bought the arctic and they were the right up there with the best 'brown ones' at an unreal price so... That's why i have 6 in 2 pc's and 4 more of the f12 ones also

@nickhooker3954 2 года назад

Hi Erik, thanks for taking a look at these fans. Appreciate the video. Great performance + low price point + solid warranty = great value!

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

Yeah pretty much, it's almost like you work for Arctic or something 🤔

@MikeBob2023 8 дней назад

Thanks for the info & testing, Erik! 👍🏼 I'm replacing the stock (3 pin) rgb fans in an *MSI Gungnir 120R* case (for a new build), and I think these P12's are just what I need. I don't want rgb lighting on the fans and, while it's really nice looking, I also don't think the front panel on this MSI case will breathe very well without some help. /subscribe (I _am_ a Noctua fanboi, btw, but I'm also dirt poor. 😝)

@TejasNaik01 2 года назад

Thank you for the detailed review... Took the decision to purchase two of these fans.

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.

@kell7689 2 года назад

Nice video quality! Channel should ramp up soon

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

Thanks.

Interesting review. But fan speed can be regulated either by a voltage (e.g. connecting two fans in series so both have 6V) or by a PWM in BIOS or some software. I sort of miss some PWM-RPM-noise-FPM graphs or link to google docs with measurements and sound recordings cause some sounds are more annoying. Then I miss link to methodology - to see what "covered" scenario means exactly. Another interesting video could be how to design cooling - for example I have FD Define Mini, where I can have 2 front fans, bottom fan, rear fan, and 12 or 14cm top fan positions and currently 4x Arctic F12. CPU is going to be upgraded to Ryzen 5900x with SilentiumPC Fera5 cooler soon, GPU is NV 1060 (PC is mostly used for software development, I don't play many demanding games and I don't plan to overclock it). Should I use the current two push and two pull fans or is it better to put 3x Arctic P12 as front/bottom push fans via dust filters, cover top mesh with a foam and maybe remove rear fan completely to use overpressure cooling when I aim to good enough cooling with low noise (I'll see if it's possible with Ryzen9, for my current i5-4590 even Fera2 limited to 900rpm seems like an overkill, but Ryzen has twice higher (145W vs 75W) power consumption) ? By the way, thanks a lot for Rem0o Fan Control, I can finally regulate front fans without BIOS!

FANTASTIC video! nailed every category!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much! Managed to grab 3 PWM PST for 16 euros.

@williamcarter3642 2 года назад

Good to know. I've bought about 3 batches of of the F12 PWM PST's. The low price on them plus the ability to daisy chain are great. I would be interested to see the difference between the F12 & P12 for both case fan and cpu fan. Perhaps also with and without crappy case restrictions.

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

I did a review of the f12, and there is CPU temperature testing, now it's only on an open air test bench. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4xRKrs-Vqh4.html

@bullyakker 2 года назад

P for air pull (lack of air intake such as a AIO cooler or many intakes for cases like a P300 with top or bottom air flow from the front vent) or use a P for a high air flow front end case or exhaust.

@jarrahfitzgerald2752 2 года назад

Thanks for the review! Is it possible to use the PST to link a P12 (pull) with a Noctua A14 (push)? I'm looking to add one to the underside of a Noctua c14s. Or is a separate splitter required?

@HardwareForGamers 2 года назад

It would work, now if It's a good idea or ideal I'm not sure... Meaning RPM and noise may not link well.

@jarrahfitzgerald2752 2 года назад

@@HardwareForGamers Cheers for the reply. Maybe I'd be better off with another Noctua. Though only an A12 fits well on itx I believe.

@leinad7776 Год назад

Great review! Just wanna know can I daisy chain Arctic P12 PWM and Arctic P12 slim? Planning to use the regular as intake then slim as exhaust.

@HardwareForGamers Год назад

Yes you can, but they will be spinning at the same %.

@AlexanderA80 10 месяцев назад

That's a review that I looked for.

@Gabelstadler Год назад

Well the price (in Germany) is actually quite a bit lower at 4,47€, which is 5,88 canadian dollars. At that price an absolute no brainer

@HardwareForGamers Год назад

Wow, that's a good price 👍

@rakajawaa5500 Год назад

Hey guys I need help, will this be compatible with an a320mk + 500w psu? I saw a 5fan pack deal (maybe I'll add another 3) and I am not sure if what other accessories I should get to make it work. TIA!

@HardwareForGamers Год назад

I'm not sure what you mean compatible, but yes. Now, you will need a case to put them in.
