The Arctic P12 SLIM has a lot to live up to, sharing the same name, as one of if not the best price to performance fans on the planet, but can it? Let's find out.

I only got it to put at the bottom of my old case. Where a a normal size fan is too thick to give way for the PSU cords. Gets the job done. Positive pressure in my case.

Thank you for this! My son got a new graphics card that extends over the edge of one of the fans, and of course the fan prevented the card from being inserted properly. We were considering this Arctic fan, but after seeing this we may go with the Thermalright one instead.

I have two of these in my SFF PC and I love their performance and PST.

Nice, honest review! Considering Arctic generally has some good fans they seemed to have come up short with this one. Wonder why? Shouldn't a company try to produce a better product than their last one?

[@HardwareForGamers]

Thank you. Not sure myself, I had heard some not great things about the P12 Slim. Which seems to be true based on my results. My best guess is they're just trying to fill the product stack, because I've tested the P14 slim and it is a GOOD fan slim or not.

Has a large gap as well between blade and ring

Nice review. Wish you would add the Noctua A12x15 fan to this comparison.

[@HardwareForGamers]

For good reason, I have not tested it yet, but when I do I will compare it to the p12 slim.

@@HardwareForGamersThanks in advance.

Dude, please stop adding a "?" to the end of every sentence you say. So annoying !!!
