Arctic Cooling F12 fans.

[BloodWithIce]

So I was on a really short budget and I needed 3 fans for my 360 rad. I got 2x of these fans. Are they any good?

Pretty decent actually. Only about ~5 (probably less)dba louder than a Scythe GT (Currently the quietest fan there is). The noise level is on par with a Noctua NF-F12

 

However I don't know about the CPM if provides 

 

I'd say it's one of the better fans out there.

they are ok but can get kinda loud at 1350rpm

they have decent airflow

i have them on my H100i and 3770K @ 4.6GHz and it stays at max 65*C at ~1000rpm

 

i plan on upgrading to some NB eloop for more static pressure, but these fans are fine atm

 

PS: one of them shows up as having 8000rpm on Corsair Link, im not sure if its the fan, the H100i, or the Corsair Link, but it was fine for the first year i owned it...

speed control still work perfectly fine with it, just cant read the rpm

honestly, not a player in the air-flow market of radiators. case fan OK, but no pressure at all.

failed on a CM 212 for performance, but was quiet.. they use a smaller gauge wire than most

and a funky PWM breakout pigtail. $8 is a good price, but the website is selling for $6.50

i'd put them a step above bitfenix spectre (not PRO) in flow performance, good case fan.

I was on a budget, I'll probably upgrade in a couple of months to Gts or Noiseblockers
