About this item

  • DUAL BALL BEARINGS: The P12 Max offers a long service life, high performance and remarkably silent ball bearing. Fans with slide bearings do not have the physically related bearing noise. Therefore, the particularly quiet alternative is the ARCTIC P12 PWM PST
  • DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE: The ball bearings allow the P12 Max to operate 24/7, even at sustained high speeds, without compromising performance or increasing noise
  • WIDE RPM RANGE: Thanks to the 4-pin connector, the speed can be controlled via PWM. Below 5 % PWM the fan stands still, above 5 % it is infinitely variable between 200-3300 rpm
  • PROVEN FAN DESIGN: The closed ring fan wheel enables low-vibration rotation at high speeds and strong resistances while maintaining high static pressure
  • OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: Most powerful 120 mm fan, 25 years of experience, direct customer support, many years of spare parts supply, CO2 neutral company
  • TECHNICAL DATA: Fan speed: 200-3300 rpm, Airflow: 81.04 cfm | 137.69 m³/h, Static pressure: 4.35 mm H2O, Noise level: 0.6 Sone

    Improved Stability

    The P12 Max features a closed fan wheel design. The advantage of this fan wheel combination is a pressure stability without compromise. In scenarios with high pressure resistances and higher speeds, the force effect is distributed uniformly over the entire fan wheel and enables low-vibration rotation while maintaining high static pressure.

    0dB Mode - Zero RPM

    Designed for Continuous Operation

    The premium quality of the dual ball bearing allows 24/7 continuous operation without compromising performance. Contamination and high temperatures affect this bearing much less than ordinary sleeve or ball bearings. Therefore, the double ball bearing is the perfect choice if you want to ensure continuous operation at maximum speed. Please note that ball bearings have a physically higher bearing noise compared to conventional sleeve bearings.

    Extremely Wide Speed Range

    Building up on the success of the P12 PWM, the P12 Max extends the controllable speed to an impressively wide range from 200 RPM up to 3300 RPM. This enables a quiet operation when low airflow is needed and also an unprecedented level of performance on heatsinks and radiators. The P12 Max provides a significant performance boost to existing air and water cooling solutions.

    Maximum Performance - Without Compromises

    The P12 Max delivers focused airflow and high static pressure, making it suitable for all scenarios. The fan is optimised for use on radiators, heat sinks, pinholes and mesh. Therefore, the P12 Max is the ideal fan for enthusiasts and professionals who are looking for maximum performance with a long service life.

    0dB Mode - Zero RPM

    The fan speed can be throttled down to standstill via PWM. This allows silent operation in IDLE and at the same time ensures maximum performance when required. Thus, the P12 Max allows an incomparably dynamic adjustment of the speed, so that the airflow can be perfectly regulated for every case.

    P12 Max

    Maximum Smoothness, Minimum Vibration

    Due to a sinus-magnetizing, the new motor of the P12 Max only creates about 5 % of the vibration from commutation of a regular DC-motor without filter. The rubber pads mounted at the corners additionally dampen the residual vibrations caused by the higher revolutions.

    Customers like the performance of the fan. They say it really moves air, is the best performance fan they've used so far, and is great for pushing air through cpu cooler fins. It has high RPMs to pull or push lots of air, and it's a fantastic value. Some customers mention that the fan spins at a very high speed compared to other case fans, making wind noise. Overall, customers find the fan to be a great option for radiators and case fans.

    A Misunderstood Fan.
    5 Stars
    A Misunderstood Fan.
    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.

    Reviewed in Mexico on October 29, 2023
    Incrédula por los comentarios negativos decidí probar con dos ventiladores y, en mi caso, funcionaron justo como esperaba, por eso decidí comprar dos más!

    PROS:
    Estética de 10.
    Totalmente configurable en una PB AP-B560M-A.
    Entregan hasta 3450 rpm.
    Dentro de una temperatura ambiente de 28°C logran mantener la temperatura de mi *CPU oscilante a los 30°C (carga normal) y hasta 45°C - 55°C (modo turbo).
    El modo "Silent" es realmente silencioso.
    En cuanto a la relación costo-beneficio todo correcto.

    CONTRAS:
    Sí hacen ruido cuando funcionan a su máxima velocidad, pero, supongo que es normal para la velocidad que llegan a alcanzar.

    * Logré mantener esas temperaturas, en un CPU i7-11700, porque poseo un disipador torre Arctic Freezer 34 Esports y le adapté dos ventiladores de estos. La configuración de la corriente de aire es de adelante hacia atrás: 1 frontal, 2 CPU y 1 trasero.

    Pienso que a los usuarios a los que no les funcionaron los ventiladores quizá es porque sus Placas Base no son del todo compatibles con PWM... Habría que actualizar el BIOS o comprar una PB más reciente.

    En resumen, me encuentro muy contenta con la adquisición de estos 4 ventiladores! El disipador torre que tengo nunca me ha fallado; por lo tanto, considero que Arctic es una empresa comprometida con la satisfacción de sus clientes; esto anterior, a pesar de ciertos comentarios, hizo que comprara los ventiladores.

    Gracias, Arctic! Ahora solo espero que duren funcionando los 6 años que ustedes prometen! Aunque quizá para ese entonces ya haya comprado otros más hahaha
