120mm fan by Arctic for computer case. When operating at maximum speed, it can push up to 56.3cfm of air in one minute (cubic feet per minute). The larger the number, the more effective the cooling the fan can provide. Higher quality fans can produce the same airflow with less noise and fewer revolutions.
Optimized for Static Pressure
During the development of the new P12 PWM PST, special emphasis was placed on a focused airflow and therefore on high static pressure. The fan guarantees extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P12 PWM PST is particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators.
More efficient technology
The motor is powered by a Neodym-Iron-Boron-Magnet ring of the latest generation, which allows the new P12 PWM PST to operate much more efficiently than its predecessors. This saves energy and reduces coil temperature without reducing performance.
Maximum Quiet, Minimal Vibrations
Even at low speeds, the operating sound of the new ARCTIC motor is barely noticeable. Due to the sinus-magnetizing, the new motor generates only about 5% of the vibration from the switching of a regular DC motor without a filter. Consequently, there is no need for rubber spacers due to the steady and smooth torque of the new motor.
Extended Lifespan
A lower motor temperature by 10 °C approximately doubles the lifespan of a fan. The new motor has four times the lifespan due to the low temperature of the coil.
200 to 1800 RPM adjustable via PWM PST
Thanks to the 4-pin connector, the RPM can be adjusted over a wide range via PWM. This way, noise is kept to a minimum, while maximum cooling performance is guaranteed when needed.
High-Quality Bearings
Thanks to a combination of alloy/lubricant developed in Germany, the friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. As a result, there is less heat generation as well as less noise from the bearings, which means you can enjoy a longer lifespan from your fan.

At this price, they have no competition. PWM so it can be adjusted from silent to noisy. But they push a lot of air. Almost comparable to much more expensive ones. The chain connect is a great help, just check what your motherboard's socket can handle
The best value for money in fans! Extremely quiet even under prolonged stress. Anyone who doesn't want to spend a fortune should go here with their eyes closed. Arctic is a guarantee! They also provide a 10-year warranty!
The Arctic P12 PWM PST is one of the most notable case fans in its category, offering excellent performance, low noise, and an affordable price.
Pros:
• Silent Operation: With PWM technology, the fan dynamically adjusts its RPM, keeping noise levels low even under heavy use.
• Strong Airflow: Its designed blades ensure effective air circulation, ideal for computer cases and cooling systems.
• PST (PWM Sharing Technology): The ability to connect multiple fans provides convenience for those looking to create a more efficient cooling system without consuming many headers on the motherboard.
• Build Quality: Arctic is known for the durability and reliability of its products, and the P12 is no exception.
• Affordable Price: Compared to competing products, it offers excellent value for its price.
Why Choose It?
Whether you are a casual user or a hardcore gamer, the Arctic P12 PWM PST is an excellent choice to keep your computer components cool and safe. It combines reliability, silent operation, and strong cooling, making it ideal for any build.
If you are looking for a fan that offers excellent value for money, the Arctic P12 is a choice that will not disappoint you!
Excellent for the price, the noise is no issue especially if your PC case is big and has some noise absorption capability(yeah sounds funny but differs from case to case). The airflow is great and the temperatures remain low even under intensive gaming/rendering.
Easy installation, quiet. They can also be connected in series in case the cable doesn't reach the motherboard or the hub. Now regarding the airflow, if proper placement and correct selection of intake and exhaust are done, combined with a good case, the cooling is very satisfactory.
So far, it's quiet, with a fairly easy installation. I'm not sure if rubber washers are needed for damping synchronization and vibrations. Combined with Arctic Case Fan Hub - PWM Sharing Hub for PC.
Edit: 11/27/2024
A fan from the set has started to make a bit of noise, somewhat annoying.
Do you want cheap, decent fans? That have good airflow and are not noisy? You won't find a better price, I use these or the 140mm ones in 4 of my computers and I've never had an issue
They seem good, they do their job logically, but I wouldn't call them silent in any way. Their smart fan control has them running at least at 1100-1200rpm to maintain temperatures, and I must say, they sound a bit like airplanes. The previous ones I had, which were somewhat cheap, were hardly ever heard, and I changed them mainly because one broke down and I thought, why not just change all four.
I tweaked the fan curves in the BIOS and after lowering their speeds quite a bit (and the CPU cooler's as well), I can say they are as quiet as the previous ones I had, with similar temperatures, meaning good.
Update: After 2 months, one out of the 4 started to rattle when running at low speeds. A bit disappointing, I will probably get another one like it to replace it and I hope the others don't start doing the same after a couple of months.
Excellent choice for €5, I can say that it has helped me quite a bit and I have reduced the processor temperatures by 5-10 degrees with just one fan depending on the usage
The most value for money in fans! I have had them for over 4 years and I have put them in 2 different cases (because I changed the case). Very good airflow and most importantly, the fans are not noisy
I bought a set of three to install on the front side of the case. They work really well as intakes. They are almost silent with the performance profile I set. I would highly recommend them.
A few tips for those interested:
- Make sure you have a good screwdriver. The screws create the threads they go into.
- Be careful not to put too many fans on the same header as the PST cable. It can cause the computer to shut down when it's working on something. If you don't have many headers, get an active fan hub.
A lot of targeted airflow, more towards the straight and not scattered, and a much, much quieter fan compared to the fans that came with the Phanteks Eclipse P400S Windowed Mid-Tower Case Tempered Glass - Black/Red. The fans of this case are audible. I noticed a temperature difference of about one degree, I don't know why, but it sends a lot of air with minimal noise, so you shouldn't hear anything else to say that it's working. I don't know why other people say they saw a few degrees decrease in temperature, but for me, it's at most one degree lower, I'm probably not doing something right. I can hear the refrigerator in the house, but not the fans without exaggeration. The airflow coming out of the fan depends on the configuration of the fan blades. Some fans send the air scattered, others send it straight. If you watch videos on YouTube from more specialized sources, you will see that fans and cooling are a science, and if you're interested, you will learn interesting things about what fans you need for your PC and where to place them for better results. For example, the cables should be neatly organized and not scattered inside the case, as we used to do in the past, in order to disrupt the airflow and hinder cooling, resulting in higher temperatures.

I made a general upgrade to the fans, I installed 3 arctic fans and one static fan from another company for ventilation on my Ryzen 5 2600 RX570 8GB PC. It runs at temperatures as if it's idle all the time, I play and record in Escape from Tarkov as if there's nothing, they are worth 100%. It eliminated any FPS loss due to temperature and stuttering in games that I thought were only caused by RAM and CPU issues. For me, who is trying to keep my PC alive until I make a very good upgrade, it is generally much better than I expected!!! As for the noise, it is very discreet for me, but it is not objective because I currently have 6 fans in the case + 2 GPU + 1 CPU
For 5 euros, they are perfect.
+ Quality
+ Warranty
+ PWM fans up to 1800rpm
And a well-known brand, Arctic.
Anyone who wants to buy something not crazy or something economical, buy them without fear!
I bought three and I don't regret it. They are affordable and very effective. They are quite silent, although they become noisy at maximum speed, but not annoyingly like the NZXT Aer P120. I recommend it for a cheap option without RGB, and it's better to get the model that you can connect one to another and control all the fans together.
The set with the fans is excellent. They were all placed in a Coolermaster midi case, 3 as intake and 2 as exhaust.
The connection between them is very easy, so that not many cables go over the motherboard headers. The speed adjustment, close to 1000rpm, provides both good airflow and minimal noise.
Even if their speed increases, due to temperature during gaming for example, the noise remains at relatively low levels without being bothersome.
Whether as a set or individually, these specific P12 fans are worth their money and more!
I bought 5 and put 3 in a new machine with a bad case. The rest replaced the fans in an old machine. Good airflow and very satisfactory in terms of noise (especially noticeable in the old one)
30 degrees lower the gpu!!! I had the stock fan and I put these 5. At 100% besides not being heard, they do real work. I expected max 10 degrees lower on the gpu and I saw 30. Design the airflow and you will see a difference (I put 2 to intake and 3 to exhaust). Also, with the parallel connection adapters, you don't need an expensive motherboard or controller to have 5 fans.
