ARCTICP12 Max - PC Fan, High-Performance 120mm Case Fan, PWM controlled 200-3300 rpm, Optimised for static pressure, 0dB mode - White

These fans were easy to install and are incredibly quiet in my build. I went for the high performance without the distraction of excessive LEDs – perfect for those who prefer a clean, understated look.

A lot of air both static pressure and volumeThe black version although cheaper is the dual ball bearing versions which is quite noisey, and grating soundAfter studying the difference in black and white versionThe white version is more expensive as it uses a fluid dynamic bearing which I found more quieter and removes most of the issues what other users have with noiseIt is still produces noise but not as much as the black dual ball bearing versionArctic need to release a version with a bearing similar to noctuas with the same performanceAnother way of reducing the noise is a low noise adaptor , but this will decrease performance, however as it is much more powerful, the trade off is more ideal as it will still perform much better than other fans in the class even with the low noise adaptera custom fan profile is another optionAns foam/ rubber dampening mounts

I bought two, both of them failed after approximately a year - the bearings got noisy, and eventually one of them seized entirely.Two stars because they work well before they fail.

Good fan although one of then did develop a horrible whining noise so I took it out, but the other is still great and in my machine.

At a static speed these are some impressively quiet fans, unfortunately the way they cope with changing RPM (including from 0 when you turn a PC on) does not sound at all healthy. I bought two intending to replace a front intake and cpu cooler fan, and both produce a loud grinding noise unlike anything I've heard from other manufacturers or even other Arctic fans. If I'd just bought one I'd assume it was a dud, but both are identically flawed and basically unusable for their marketed purpose as quiet PWM fans.

i bought this to replace a loud fan on my GPU. its much quieter than than the stock fan and keeps the gpu a bit cooler in temperature so its a win win. would recommend

Moves air very well, shame its made from such low quality plastics. I kept my system cool for about a year of constant use. If you are after a cheap alternative to well made long last products then this one is for you.
