Arctic P12 PWM PST Value Pack - Case Fan Unboxing

[@Aleph-Noll]

i love how arctic seems to be managed, none of that RGB nonsense, no fancy boxes, just clean simple well made products. for my next build ill probably get their 360 or 420 AIO cooler and a 5 pack of their fans. now i just gotta find a good case to house it haha

[@tekhCHEK]

Yes, I'm a big fan of Arctic's no frills just performance take on products.

[@kevinhhn]

Get the black 4000d airflow. I’m planning on that one. Price + value !

[@nuclearpcs2139]

These are excellent quality fans and they move a great amount of air, the value is simply amazing, also check the 140mm fan pack.

[@tekhCHEK]

I actually picked up a pair of 140mm bionix fans but I am not that impressed as yes they move alot of air but are quite loud at higher speeds so I am going to look into the basic 140mm model. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@tekhCHEK Far as I can tell the Bionix series is older than the PST and PST CO.

I saw that pack on Amazon but it's out of stock. F.

Nevermind, I meant the F12*

[@King-sj7no]

So how the “pst” performance? Is the splitter really good? Do you recommend to use one or get a 3rd party 4 pin splitter or even a fan hub?

[@tekhCHEK]

Thanks for the question and actually daisy changing fans is one of my favourite methods for helping with cable management and the PST on these works great. I usually daisy chain three together in the front being powered by one header and then two exhausting (top/back) chained on a second header. However if your dealing with only one header you may need to get a splitter.

[@giorgi7757]

OH no, Silver screws

[@tekhCHEK]

When doing a theme build something as small as a screw can really draw the eye and make things look off. Or maybe its just me lol

[@jarnom85]

I been looking alot of tests and these seem to be best static pressure optimized fans out there, even better than Noctua's A12x25 in performance, how ever i dont belive they will last as long as Noctua's would. But considering you can get 5 pack of these for price of one Noctua A12x25 i think its good buy, you can replace the fans cheaply anyway. I have 8 of these in my custom watercooling loop. If someone like me wants RGB, missing RGB can be fixed by using Phanteks Halos RGB fan frames.

[@changeuse]

thanks bro i almost brought a fan splitter with my pc

[@STKSOUND]

i had the same doubt lol

[@dudutwalim]

Me too!!!

[@ph7neutral]

what do you say about noise and quality of this fans???? i think it is THE BEST fans on market right now! better and QUITER than Noctua ;) what do you think?

[@tekhCHEK]

For the price you definitely cannot find something quieter or more powerful. I feel fans more than double the price aren't even as good and they look great. I'm very happy with these fans

[@ph7neutral]

@@tekhCHEK search tests in internet this P-series Arctic fans are quiter than Noctua on same RPM ;) ...all tests in internet are marketing, but anyway i LOVE THIS FANS (P12 and P14 and P12 white

[@michajanicki6860]

1 motherboard header - MINIMUM 1 amp (better MBoards with powerful power sections up to 3A) 1 amp x 12 voltd = 12 Watts 1 mother header is good enough to up to 12 of 120mm PST PWM (one PWM 0,08A x 12V = 0,96W) First fan is MASTER - must be plugged into motherboard - 4pins - 12V, ground, pwm, rpm Second and next fans are SLAVES - 3pin - 12V, ground, pwm (without rpm pin) First MUST BE PLUGGED INTO motherboard thats all :)

[@shankyarora5110]

Are they supported by Radiators as well i want 2 140MM PWM fans for my Corsair H115i and 3 140MM fans for my case Corsair 780T so shuld i get these?

[@tekhCHEK]

these 120mm as well as the 140mm are standard hole spacing so as long as your rad has the standard hole spacing(which I think all do) yes they will work on a rad. Now should you get them is up too you but they are my first choice for personal and customer builds as cannot beat the price to performance. Thanks for watching and your question hope I could help

@@tekhCHEK Yeah, I have 5 of this fans installed in my case, they are very quite and most importantly they tend to have really high cfm hence my case now has a REALLY good airflow. For this price, indeed you can not beat it!

[@ryanwoods4691]

Hello! Do you need to use the connection feature between the fans? Or can you just use them as a standard PWM fan and use a fan hub to wire everything up. Because i want all of the cables fro the fans to meet in one place.

[@serbianempire6456]

I believe you don't. The 4 pin connector mount they all have is there so you wouldn't have to plug them in individually into separate connectors out of the box, buy you can. PST stands for PWM sharing technology and is there just as a feature, not as a must. They also sell the exact same fan but with a single 4 pin connector on the cable that goes into the motherboard without additional 4 pin mount but this one doesn't go in the bulk of 5 as far as I know.

[@supercharged1482]

I have a question so i can plug this 4pin fan to my motherboard and also connect other fans to the second 4pin of the fan. Will it run at max speeds? Or will it be shared like 1800:2 = 900rpm sry i cant explain well good video btw

[@tekhCHEK]

Its alright you explained great I understand what your trying to ask and no you don't have to worry about that unless you overload your Motherboard header. When daisy chaining your MB sends the signal to the first fan and then the rest run at that same speed as long as you don't overload the header. Most motherboard headers are 1 AMP and most newer case fans are between .2 - .25 amps so you can safely get away with three to four on one chain and sometimes five with no issue at all. Thanks for watching and I hope I helped answer your question.

[@HQmusic9]

@@tekhCHEK According to Arctic website these fans use only 0.08 A / 12 V so in theory you can run whole value pack (5 fans) from one header (if its 1A total).

[@harorudo0816]

Do these run at max rpm when you don't control the speed manually, and how do you change the fan speed ?

[@tekhCHEK]

If u just plugged them right into your power supply good chance they will run at 100% all the time but when plugged into the proper 4PIN motherboard headers they can be controlled in your bios

[@harorudo0816]

@@tekhCHEK Ah i see. How is the noise level of these, I'm fine as long as they dont sound like jet engines

@@tekhCHEK Hey man i'm looking at this video because I wanted to see what this PST thing is, now I know why arctic doesn't show pictures of the connector. This PST "technology" just is another PWM fan plug connected in parallel. You can do exactly the same at zero cost with any fan marketed as PST or not PST. Thanks for showing the fans and the plugs up close.

[@tekhCHEK]

@@testkill5109 True this can be solved with most types of splitters and y cables as well but its nice they add this at a budget price and can honestly say its comes in handy especially with boards that only have 1 system fan header. Also just wanted to say the main plug on this fan is 4pin but the "PST" plug is only 3 pin. Thanks for your comment

[@GamingWithMINER]

will you need to buy a fan splitter?

[@tekhCHEK]

Sorry for late reply and no you do not have to buy a splitter with these fans as they are PST which means they each have male and female connections so you can daisy chain the fans and run it off of one header. Thanks for watching and your question.

how do the Kaze Flex 120mm fans compare as top exhaust fans?

No u can connect all of them then use a fan extension cable to the mobo im pretty sure

No not with these fans. As @betoy said, you can connect each fan to the next in a daisy chain allowing you to run them all off one header

[@conyo985]

I want to get these fans but I can't find a good price in any online sellers. I need five and the cheapest i found would cost me 61 USD. Do you think that's a fair price?

[@tekhCHEK]

I am sorry your having issues finding parts and yes that is a bit expensive for these fans however the entire industry is upside down due to the current world climate and has caused prices to skyrocket without a sign of them coming down any time soon so if you really need them I would try and get them while still in stock.

[@formidablefoe3016]

How can i check how much amps my mobo header can handle, do i check that in bios or manual, i am getting this set so im curious cause i have only one working 4 pin header on my mobo.

Its not always in the manual actually I would say more often than not it isn't so you may be able to find it on the motherboard manufacture website or by actually contacting them as I'm sure they would be happy to help answer your question.

[@Sol-su2mi]

are these better than sp120s? i want to upgrade to pwm fans

[@tekhCHEK]

These are great fans and I would put them up against any other 120mm for price to performance but in the end it all comes down to what your looking for. Personally whenever I build a new system that needs extra case fans Arctic is the first place I look.

[@Sol-su2mi]

@@tekhCHEK thanks. i just got noctua reduxes lol

[@shiroganekatsuki2940]

Are these fan quiet at full load, let say compare it with noctua and be quiet fan?

[@Electric_Doodie]

There are quite a few reviews out there for the Arctic fans nowadays, I recommend the video from "The Tech Buyer's Guru", depends on what you want to use them for, Case or Cooler / Radiator Fans? But they are usually close in terms of cooling / sound to the noctua a12x25 and by far more efficient then be quiet (in nearly all reviews out there).

[@xruvie8652]

can i use these for a radiator, im using them as case fans but ill have 1 extra so i wanna use it on my radiator. not for performance but so my fans match

[@CknSalad]

If you look at hardware scientist and tech buyer's guru, the P12 PSTs are really good overall. There's also the Kaze Flex 120mm.

[@tekhCHEK]

yes you can use these on 120, 240, and 360mm rads

[@matheusrezende1377]

Someone can confirm that the artic logo is a sticker? I would like my fans to be all black. with no white.

Hey, what about the RPM, I read a review that stated that it only was about 800 RPM, any problem so far?

[@dreinin]

these fans can actually go up to 1800 rpm

no problems whatsoever with these fans but Arctic does have a silent version of this fan which is only rated for 1050 RPM max so this might be the fans they were using in that review

[@ChitoWorld]

Andrews tekhCHEK so I just install these. I notice they was runing st 1600 rpm so while under my bios I put them in pwm and smart fan on. They went down to 900. No wonder my pc was runing at so cool. But about the pst connections. The main connector has 4 pin into my header but the pst has 3 will both fans link together still run at same speed ? I have bios on pmw but will that pst 3 pin still make the second fan run the same speed as the main one? Shouldn’t it have 4 pins ?

[@Electric_Doodie]

@@ChitoWorld You use the 4 Pins one and control it's RPM via PWM and then connect the other one in the 3 pin header which gets the same RPM then, Yes. How it exactly works? Google it I guess (I assume the 3 pin has the same PWM / Voltage as the 4 pin and just keeps the second fan on the same RPM that way).

[@quirijndijkstal1985]

Can someone properly explain how you can connect all 5 fans to one mobo header

[@woke_Jadrian]

I would get the silver stone dan hub but I think these fans have a splitter connected so you would run these in series with the first plugged to the closest 4 pin fan header on your mother board and then the rest would plug into one another

[@tekhCHEK]

Im very sorry for not properly explaining this. Each fan has a 4pin mb connector as well as a 3pin connector that you plug a second fan into allowing for what Ive been told is a maximum of 5 fans to be daisy chained off of one header. Thanks for watching and commenting
