Overview

Silent, high performance cooling

Building on the success of the P12 PWM,Arctic 's P12 Max extends the controllable speed to an impressive range of 200 rpm to 3300 rpm. This allows for quiet operation when low airflow is required and also an unprecedented level of performance on heat sinks and radiators. The P12 Max offers a significant performance improvement over existing air and water cooling solutions.

Without compromise

The P12 Max offers targeted airflow and high static pressure. This fan is optimised for use on radiators and heat sinks. Therefore, the P12 Max is the ideal fan for enthusiasts and professionals looking for maximum performance with a long service life.

The fan speed can be reduced to a standstill via PWM. This allows quiet operation at idle and at the same time guarantees maximum performance when needed. The P12 Max allows for incomparably dynamic speed control, so that the airflow rate can be perfectly adjusted for each case.

Even at low speeds, the operation of the P12 Max is hardly noticeable. Due to sinusoidal magnetisation, the new motor creates very little vibration, and the rubber pads mounted in the corners dampen any residual vibrations.

Finally, the superior quality of the Dual Ball Bearing allows 24/7 continuous operation without compromising performance.

    Quiet and efficient fan

    Since installing these fans, I have less noise during games and the cooling performance is also visible on the software. I had put this aspect aside, but today I realise that I have dropped by an average of 2°C and that the air circulation is much better in my case.

    Quality fans

    Very good fans, but you need to adjust the fan curve to adjust the airflow and noise according to the temperature. Very good value for money. Arctic is a very good brand.

    Sober, high-performance, but inevitably a little noisy

    I was looking for no-frills efficiency. This model delivers just that.
    The disadvantage is, of course, that at full throttle they are quite noisy.
    On the plus side, they cool easily and efficiently at low and medium speeds.
    Up to 70°, I leave them at 25-30% depending on the location, so they remain fairly quiet, even when gaming.

    Great!

    The air flow on my PC was not optimal before I bought this fan!
    Powerful and silent, don't hesitate!

    Very good

    Very good fan on radiator in solo or push/pull mode

    However, at maximum speed they are noisy
