About this deal

I’m only going to use them for a couple months until I’ve saved up some money for Corsair QL Fans and all the stuff you need to get the RGB to work and stuff. In our opinion, it’s a great time to be building an RGB rig. While fan manufacturers like Noctua still rule the roost in outright performance, RGB fans like the Arctic P ARGB series have caught up reasonably well. You’re now no longer sacrificing your cooling performance in the name of aesthetics and cool lighting effects. Perfette per i radiatori o per i case che hanno l'intake coperto da mesh o aperto solo sui lati, grazie all'alta pressione statica, ma vanno bene dappertutto. Le PST possono essere messe a catena quindi usando un singolo header sulla scheda madre. 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. 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.

ARCTIC P12 PWM PST ARGB - User Manual

And here’s the P-Fan FAQ, in case you need more information) https://www.arctic.ac/uk_en/p-fan-faq/

The P in the name will stand for “Pressure,” which is static pressure. Accordingly, the Arctic P12s do extremely well on radiators in any version – especially when you factor in the low noise. As a case fan and on the air cooler, the Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB land in the midfield in terms of performance. In these two areas, the Arctic P12 Max, which seems almost identical in terms of design, pull away noticeably. Conclusion Within all testing of all the fans, there was only ever 1°C difference between them. So, the fan is no better or worse at the specific tasks than any other fans we tested. Like graphics card fans, the EVO 120ER can be configured to stop spinning below specific temperatures. This can help prolong the fan’s life and reduce dust buildup on your radiators. But I understand the increase in motor power. I would say the original P12 is quite significantly underpowered, with small headroom.

The big case fan test (120 mm) - Basic Tutorials

By far the weakest fans in this test remain the Alseye X12, apart from that the last places are occupied by the NZXT F120 RGB and the Alphacool Aurora Rise. Case fan at maximum power So these aren’t cheap fans to run. But the expense might be worth it if you’re building a showpiece rig and need high-end RGB lighting to complete the build. Overall, the Corsair QL120 and QL140’s dual-sided RGB and relatively high LED count make them the best-looking RGB fans right now.

The three DeepCool fans are therefore also the budget recommendation for very quiet systems. The FK120, FC120 and CF120 do not give much in this comparison: They offer decent performance even at low speeds. And one addendum for the discerning reader who will scroll through the comments here and there and might ask the same question as one of the readers of this article in another language. Namely, why the BioniX P120, being more expensive, often achieves a lower airflow than the P12. We discussed a bit in the opening chapter that these fans don’t have the same rotors, but I didn’t want to pay any extra attention to that in the conclusion (these aren’t fans that are in any way competing or that you’ll be deciding between). The price-performance victory is captured by the Arctic P12, P12 Max and the DeepCool FK120, which hardly leave any performance on the line compared to the pure winners despite the much lower price.
