I bought a 5-pack P12 max to build my custom water cooling loop. These fans blow large amount of air when running at full speed (3000 rpm), fall slightly behind Phanteck T30 (the best 120 fan) on the same 360 radiator. The noise level was high. When running at typical gaming contitions (800 - 1200 rpm for me), they are extremely quiet. Very good budget option considering one T30 is worth a 5 pack of p12 max. Pro: high cooling performance OR quiet and OK performance; extremely budget friendly with respectful build quality Con: no daissy chain option, and the cable is a bit long, impacting the aethetics, and requires additional fan head splitter if more fans are installed than mobo fan headers.

The Arctic P12 Max is a misunderstood fan. While it is not leagues better than the original Arctic P12, the price has remained fair and competitive at just $10, while performing as well in some scenarios as fans that are three times its price. Arctic's engineering is some kind of wizardry because they have managed to capture the computer fan market at a low price point, while punching above its weight. Pros: 1. Quiet at 1200 RPM and lower - I expect some PC builders are looking to make their PC system "cool and quiet." The P12 Max runs quiet at around 1200 RPM or lower. Above that and it starts to kick into high gear and its sound profile becomes more noticeable. 2. Moves a lot of air - at 1200 RPM and lower, to keep it cool and quiet, the P12 Max does move a lot of air. I tested the P12 Max and the Noctua NF-A12x25 as an intake fan and they both move about the same amount of air "to the touch." I had my hand in front of these fans and they move about the same amount of airflow. The A12x25 was set at nearly 1300RPM and the P12 Max was set at just 1100RPM. 3. Air Capacity is 3300 RPM - if you are running a server or a system that is on 24/7, then the P12 Max is suited for that job. Arguably, it is a "peak performance" fan and it shines at higher RPMs. I would say it becomes very efficient at the 2000 RPM point. 4. Vibration Rubber Pads - the original P12 did not have rubber pads. This significantly reduces the vibration created by the motor. Sometimes the vibration of the fan against the PC case is often times misinterpreted as the motor's noise, or even other noise profile such as whining, grating, humming sounds. To get a good ear of its noise profile, put your ear next to the fan and you will be able to hear its noise profile. This is independent of the vibration sound and they are not the same noise. 5. P12 Max as an Intake Fan - I tested the A12x25 and P12 Max as an intake fan and the P12 Max wins this around by a good percentage. My GPU temps fell by a 2-3 degrees (Celcius) compared to the A12x25, at a lower RPM. 6. Price - unbeatable price and the P12 and P12 Max are in a league of its own. Arctic engineering continues to impress me. While I am constantly open to fans by other companies such as Noctua, it is a marvelous feat by Arctic in every regard. I use a Noctua A12x25 as a CPU heatsink fan (improved temps over the Noctua F12) and Arctic P12 and P12 Max as intake and exhaust. Some people may wonder why I am using a static pressure fan as a case fan. Intake fans need to move air through the mesh and dust filter at the front panel. For exhaust, not so much. The differences are negligible if one is going for a 120MM fan setup to keep their system cool and quiet. Arguably, you could find 140MM fans that are quiet, but it is difficult to keep the system cool and quiet without revving up the fans. This was my intention with my new build that I put together in December 2023. Finding the best sound or noise profile, while keeping my PC cool and quiet became my new rabbit hole. It was well worth it as I found two incredibly good fans in the Arctic P12 Max and Noctua NF-A12x25. Both fans that work well together in a positive pressure PC system. Do I have any negative remarks? If you are reading this, you probably want to know if the dual ball bearing is noisy as some claim. Personally, and maybe I was lucky with this unit, it isn't any louder than the original P12. The original P12's fluid dynamic bearing may be arguably quieter than the dual ball bearing to some ears. Everyone's hearing ability and sensitivity levels are different. I have high sensory and I am extremely sensitive to noise, sound signatures, and noise profiles. The P12 and P12 Max have different noise profiles. They are completely different. The P12 is more like a low noise version of a fish tank pump. And the P12 Max sounds a little "sandy." I think the P12 Max is more tolerable and less grating to the ear. I listened to both fans with my ear touching the front panel and the exhaust. In conclusion, I prefer the P12 Max over the P12. To note, I have my PC under the desk and I still hear the fans that is about 3 feet away. That's how sensitive my hearing is, but it is barely noticeable. Sometimes, it does not even sound like my PC is on if I am doing light work on my PC such as watching a movie, web browsing, and the like. Not really. Any negative remark would be pushing toward being nitpicking. Not that the P12 Max is perfect. It's not perfect. No fan is perfect. For its price point and ability to perform as a case fan and static pressure fan, it's hard to beat the P12 Max. Understand what you are trying to achieve with your cooling setup. Do you want peak performance with your system running 24/7? Or do you want a cool and quiet PC with optimal settings? For me, it was not about running my system 24/7 with fans at 2000+ RPM. I wanted to achieve an air-cooled system that is quiet with good airflow. I hope that my review was hopeful. Thank you for reading.

I am running 2 of these newer FDB version on a 240 rad setup, and they are really good. For idle temps, I have them running 1900-2000rpm, and they are very quiet. At that speed, they are moving a remarkable amount of air. If they spin up to about 2500 they become somewhat audible, but not crazy so. At full speed, about 3200rpm on my system, they are notably louder, but moving an insane amount of air, the static pressure is phenomenal. These replaced a pair of old Akasa Vipers, which are great fans, but clearly not in the same league as these P12 Max fans.

I bought some of these fans when I moved into a new PC case. I noticed my GPU reaching temps I haven't seen before, and decided my old corsair case just didn't have the airflow I needed. I had all corsair fans in my previous case, and they weren't terrible. PROS: these fans can move some air these fans are pretty solid build quality considering the price the vibration pads are defiantly a plus these fans can push all the way up past 3000 rpm according to my fan control software, pretty impressive. I bought a new nzxt kraken elite 360 when I switched cases, and honestly I replaced all the nzxt fans that came with that, with these (not sure what model number they are), because the nzxt fans where a little to loud on the high rpm range for me. Cons: Are these fans quiet?? well that's a tough one. At certain rpms, no. Now you will never need to run these fans at their max rpm unless your doing some serious overclocking or something. Thank god, because at 3000+ rpm, they are too loud (as they should be). Is the majority of the sound these make just the sound of air moving? Yes. BUT, even though I have my fan control now dialed in, so these run quiet and still are very effective at keeping my components cool, they do have a certain "hum" that over time can be heard. It's not something that would make me not use these, but I could understand how this could be annoying for some people. This "hum" is not loud, its like you almost have to really listen for it, but over time you do start to notice it. All fans make some sort of noise (even noctua), its just if that noise is pleasant to listen to over time, or annoying to listen to over time. The screws that come with this fan are god awful lol, they are so cheap it almost makes you question these fans longevity. These fans do not come with daisy chain wires pre attached. You do have to use Y connectors. Strange considering the cheaper artic fans do come with these wires. I am assuming its because of voltage, but I'm no expert. I used 7 of these fans. 3 as front intake, 3 on my aio, and one as exhaust. I have them wired together as 3 different groups, going to 3 different headers so I can control all of them easier. My specs: case : nzxt h6 flow motherboard : asus tuf gaming b650 plus wifi CPU : 7800x3d GPU: nvidia rtx 4080 AIO : Kraken elite 360mm PSU : seasonic focus GX 1000 watt gold TEMPS since install Idle : 43 cpu, 31 gpu Gaming : 50-60's cpu, 50-60's gpu Cinebench : cpu 81 dropped maybe 10 degrees over my old case and old fans Conclusion: Will I keep these? probably, I like them. But if I end up with Noctua or Phantex T30's 6 months from now I won't be surprised lol.

Amazingly powerful, super reasonable price (I got non-RGB), and really quiet for how powerful they are! When I first turned it on, I had to grab and hold onto the ethernet cable before it flew away!!! In all seriousness though, these fans are amazing. They dropped temps 10-20 C, depending on ambient air. They help hit that high positive pressure needed to help keep dirt out and air flowing at a good clip. I bought the 5 pack for @$35.
