Review on πŸŒ€ ARCTIC F12 PWM - 120 mm PWM Case Fan, Silent Motor with PWM-Signal Control, Computer Fan Speed: 230-1350 RPM, Black/White by Guan Yin ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

So, who is in the throes of choosing which budget fan to choose! Take it, and do not make brains for yourself. I bought 3 fans: one ID-COOLING XF-12025-SD, and two Arctic F12 PWM PST all for the case for blowing. (the case is aerocool aero 500 window. The standard fan that was blown out at the back of the hat is full, at maximum speed the air pressure is nothing at all when compared with these two fans) At first, I stupidly connected one fan at a time, without installation, to check which one blows better and which one is noisier. My girlfriend also took part in the test. At idle, the ID-COOLING XF-12025-SD blows noticeably better than its competitor. Noise + is generally the same, it is not audible, but Arctic will still be slightly quieter. In idle, air pressure is mostly audible. Then, through the System Information Viewer, I turned on all the fans to the maximum and by ear with the girl agreed that the ID-COOLING XF-12025-SD is noticeably noisier than the competitor, I can hear the rumble, but personally it’s not critical for me. The Arctic at maximum speeds is practically inaudible and the wind is also, in principle, not bad. I set ID-COOLING to blow out, but today I will replace it with front blowing, because it blows better than the Arctic, and I will put the Arctic on blowing. Standard vent from the body and the second arctic set up for blowing. In the aerocool aero 500 window case, putting 2 fans in front is of little use, there is metal with holes in the middle, there is little sense from the fan, I put one in front at the very bottom. Conclusion: who wants a high efficiency, ID-COOLING XF-12025-SD, who cares about the sound of fans, then Arctic or some more expensive fans. Price: Arctic 600, ID-COOLING - 400. I liked both vents. I can recommend

Pros
  • Appearance, packaging, minimum noise level. Can be connected in parallel, there is a connector for connection.
Cons
  • Only 4 short bolts for installation, long bolts were clamped (for ID-COOLING XF-12025-SD they are included). No anti-vibration feet
