Review on ARCTIC P12 PWM PST - 120mm Computer Case Fan with Pressure-optimized Quiet Motor, White/Transparent, Fan Speed: 200-1800 RPM by Ha Joon (Hj) ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

Following the allure of the evaluations, I hastily purchased three pieces in a case intended for blowing. At speeds above 800 rpm, they let out a high-pitched howl. The peak occurs between 1000 and 1200. The wail becomes less audible between 1300 and 1400 because of the wind. A tabletop system unit amplifies the howl to a level where I can hear it clearly. It'll drive you completely insane. I don't think anyone will notice if you put a system unit under the table. The only real downside to these fans is the noise, but otherwise they are a great value.

Pros
  • - Flow rate - Each fan wire has a m/f 4pin connector (the ability to combine fans into one chain for connection via 1 sys fan connector without additional splitters) - Price
Cons
  • - A shrill, high-pitched 1000-RPM PWM roar
