About this item
- OPTIMISED FOR STATIC PRESSURE: The fan guarantees extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance, therefore, the P12 is particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators
- HIGH QUALITY BEARING: Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved
- INNOVATIVE DESIGN: The innovative design of the fan blades improves the air flow and facilitates a highly efficient ventilation, the impeller was designed with a focus on minimzing the noise level
- LONG SERVICE LIFE: The Fluid Dynamic Bearing comes with an oil capsule that avoids lubricant leakage, thus this bearing is as quiet as a sleeve bearing but comes with a higher service life
- TECHNICAL DATA: Fan speed: 1800 rpm, Airflow: 56.3 cfm | 95.7 m³/h, Noise Level: 0.3 Sone, Static pressure: 2.2 mmH₂O, Pin: 3-pin

Product Description

Optimised for Static Pressure
During the development of the new P12, special emphasis was placed on a focused airstream and thus a high static pressure. The fan assures extremely efficient cooling, even with increased air resistance. Therefore, the P12 is particularly suitable for use on heatsinks and radiators.
Lower Power Consumption
A 10 °C lower motor temperature roughly doubles the life span of a fan. The new ARCTIC motor has a four times longer service life through its low coil temperature.
High Quality Bearing
Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. As a result, there is less heat development as well as less bearing noise, which means you can enjoy a longer service life from your fan.
Highly Efficient
The ARCTIC P12 Case Fan is the ultimate PC-Cooler solution.

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers find these fans extraordinarily quiet and appreciate that they cost half as much as compatible alternatives while delivering identical performance. The fans are robust and move a lot of air, with one customer noting they're static pressure-optimized fixed speed 120mm fans. They effectively cool systems, with temperatures dropping significantly, and customers find them easy to install.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2025Style Name: P12 (black/black)Verified PurchaseBought these for my friends PC build and I was pleasantly surprised with the units considering their price.
Whilst they aren't Noctua quality they are excellent for the price, they feel robust and operate reasonably quietly whilst moving a decent amount of airflow.
They aren't the best looking fans but they aren't ugly either and in an all black PC build would not look out of place
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2024Style Name: P12 (black/black)Verified PurchaseGreat look inside my computer set up! Very quiet noise level! Performs as expected and very easy to install supplying good airflow!
Good product and worth the money!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2024Style Name: P12, 5 Pack (black)Verified PurchaseHowever even if i have all of them connected to the motherboard it seems setting up a more aggresive curve doesn't help with having the temperatures tamed. So i had to leave them on full blast all the time. Not too noisy tho
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2022Style Name: P12, 5 Pack (black)Verified Purchasethey blow much more air than my old fans and come very cheap for 5 of them so definitely good value for money and if i ever needed more i would definitely buy again. the only down side is that they are fairly loud but not with any rattle or an annoying sound just a constant tone that i can barely hear with headphones on. personally i dont think it's a big issue since i never use my computer without headphones on anyway
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2025Style Name: P12, 5 Pack (black)Verified PurchaseDespite the old 3 pins, the price is much much better than any others.
Was thinking about returning it after the first glance and hearing the noise level.
But surprisingly after packed in the pc case, it is almost Unhearable. Although still more noise than the more expensive and advanced ones. But considering the price. Top choice still.
But , before buy it, you need to think two things:
1. Do you need rgb?
2. Do you need more controllable fan speed?
3. Do you need super low noise level?
If non of above, go for this. It serves the proper job of a fan should do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buen ventilador a buen precio
Style Name: P12 (black/black)Verified PurchaseSi estás buscando mejorar el flujo de aire de tu ordenador, este es perfecto. Yo lo tengo colocado en el frontal metiendo aire y la verdad, con dos de estos al máximo en verano entra muchísimo aire. Buena presión para que la caja del ordenador siempre esté fría.
Por lo demás, es un ventilador, si lo pones al máximo se escucha mucho, pero en velocidad media casi no lo notas.

Thomas KlinkhammerReviewed in Germany on 24 April 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr leise und gute Kühlleistung
Style Name: P12 (black/black)Verified PurchaseIch schreibe meine persönliche Meinung zu denn Artikel
Qualität:
Die Qualität der Lüfter ist wirklich sehr gut leicht in der Anwendung und machen für denn kleinen Preis einen hochwertigen Eindruck
Kühlleistung:
Die Lüfter kühlen sehr gut und haben einen sehr guten Luft Durchzug
Lautstärke:
Die Lautstärke der Lüfter hat mich positiv beeindruckt selbst auf 100% Drehzahl ist der Lüfter zu hören ja aber nicht so laut als würde ein Flugzeug Abheben in Gegenteil angenehm leise bleibt er und auf normal Speed hört man denn Lüfter so gut wie gar nicht
Fazit:
Wer gute und günstige Lüfter sucht ist hier genau richtig sie bieten eine hervorragende kühlleistung und bleiben dabei sehr leise wie es sein sollte kann ich nur empfehlen

Víctor NavarroReviewed in Spain on 23 October 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Gran potencia a un bajo precio
Style Name: P12, 5 Pack (black)Verified Purchase¡Hola! Soy Víctor, y hoy quiero hablarte sobre los ventiladores Arctic P12. 🌀💻
Si estás buscando mejorar la ventilación de tu equipo sin gastar una fortuna, como yo, estos ventiladores son una opción que definitivamente deberías considerar.
PROS:
🟢 Gran rendimiento de flujo de aire: Los Arctic P12 son conocidos por su capacidad de mover mucho aire a bajas revoluciones, lo que ayuda a mantener las temperaturas bajo control.
🟢 Silenciosos: Uno de los aspectos más destacados es lo silenciosos que son. A bajas RPM apenas se oyen, y a plena velocidad, el ruido es muy moderado comparado con otros ventiladores del mercado.
🟢 Eficiencia en presión estática: Son perfectos para radiadores o disipadores, ya que su diseño optimiza la presión estática, logrando un buen rendimiento en refrigeración líquida y aire.
🟢 Relación calidad-precio: Este set de 5 piezas ofrece una excelente relación calidad-precio. Tienes ventiladores de calidad sin tener que gastar una fortuna como se suele ver en otras marcas que salen mucho más caras.
CONTRAS:
🔴 Cableado básico: El cable que traen es un poco corto si planeas montarlos en torres grandes, y no incluyen adaptadores o extensiones. Algo a considerar dependiendo de tu configuración.
🤔 ¿Recomendaría su compra? 🤔 ¡Absolutamente! Si necesitas ventiladores eficientes, silenciosos, con un precio ajustado y no te importa no tener RGB, los Arctic P12 en pack de 5 son una opción fantástica. Mejoran considerablemente la refrigeración del equipo y sin ser ruidosos en absoluto. 🪭
Leyenda de mis reseñas:
5⭐: ¡Increíble! Este producto es excepcional, su precio, calidad o características lo hacen valer totalmente la pena. 🔝
4⭐: Muy bueno. Destaca por encima de la media, aunque tiene alguna cosilla mejorable. 👍
3⭐: Del montón. No tiene características sobresalientes que lo hagan destacar entre otros productos similares. Meh. 😪
2⭐: Bastante decepcionante. Ya sea por su calidad o relación calidad-precio, deja mucho que desear. 😞
1⭐: Pobre. Este producto es malo, no se lo recomendaría ni a mi peor enemigo. 🤢
👇🏼👇🏼 ¡Espero haberte sido de ayuda! 👇🏼
