Can i use Arctic P12 as rear fan?

[Guest FrA123]

I've searched online and Arctic F12's are designed for airflow while P12's are designe for static pressure but it's said that P12's outperform them in both airflow and static pressure, just wondering if i use my arctic p12 as a rear fan would do just fine? specs are 1050ti and i5 7400.

If you already have the fan just install it and see. It will be fine since your components aren't particularly power hungry.

I see, so if i hadn't bought yet you would recommend getting the f12 model? these are louder than p12 and have bad airflow but idk cuz they are designe for airflow but anyway i'll test it, just asking to cleanse my conscience, thanks.

You have a 1050Ti and a 7400, both are not known for running hot.  So honestly any fan is going to work just fine for you back there.

 

Realistically, we just need airflow.  We don't need to get caught up in static pressure or airflow pressure, or CFMs.  Just some nice smooth airflow is all you need.

P12's work fine for whatever you want, they're solid all around fans.

 

You also have a build that won't generate enough heat to be too concerning, you'll be fine.
