I actually bought this fan set 4-5 years ago, the price is about the same and the fans have been working really well this whole time. I've moved them into 3 different cases and I've still not had any issues. I do recommend them if you just need fans to move air.

[@CapaNoisyCapa]

My experience with them is the complete opposite, unfortunately. I bought a pack back in March last year to use as case fans in one of my home servers and they're rubbish. Four of them are clipping really bad at anything above ~550 rpm. I don't know when it started but I noticed it in late December when I was doing some maintenance/cleaning on several of my computers. I don't care about them failing, like Jay said they're almost disposable. But their performance is worse than having some tiny pet mouses coughing at your heatsinks.

[@seth4321]

@@CapaNoisyCapa Oh no 😅 I felt so good about them after reading the comment you replied to. I guess part of the thrill is the not knowing how they’ll hold up. Life on the edge!

@Ugga Bugga @Ugga Bugga I'm super picky about noise. Funnily enough I never could hear the infamous Gentle Typhoon motor bearing noise since I've started using them in 2011 (og Nidec and Servo, Scythe, XPG) but I can't stand any AIO because of the pump "hum". Even high end D5 pumps are starting to annoy me. I'm past my forties and my hearing is severely limited above 16Khz, FWIW.

[@BorSnor]

then you had more luck than me. i bought a set of cheap fans that jay recommended and ive had nothing but trouble. the first problem is that they were RGB fans that wouldnt work with my motherboards rgb headers, they occasionally work but i have no ability to control them so its currently at rainbow puke mode all the time. second problem the lubrication or oil or whatever is in the bearing of these fans apparently vanished and theyre insanely loud from time to time. but im happy that the ones you got worked out :)

[@danielparks9035]

Arctic p12 5 pack are good too. Probably a lot better than these but they are a little more expensive. Especially great on radiators.

[@greggreg2458]

I have them in push pull on a 54mm thick radiator.

[@tslash93]

Available in a a lot of sizes (P8, P10, P12 and P14. And also available in airflow optimized design, called F12 if I'm not mistaken.

[@fredocuomo5386]

p12s are a LOT better than these..antec storm are antecs version of the p12

[@ahuman4386]

Yeah, I seen those too and are much better. 56.3 CFM and max 1800 RPM and quiet too. And only $10 more.

[@toufusoup]

Can vouch for the P12s. They’re incredible value.

[@ChristopherWoods]

Glad to see you repping the OG brands who deserve a bit more love. I still use Antec and Arctic alongside other brands depending on use case and budget, just as you went discussed. Always worth considering.

[@nwngunner]

antec at one point was the gold standard for power supplies.

[@JerziTBoss]

All the PC I've built in recent years were using Arctic fans... They are awesome. P12 and P14 are really silent, reliable and with great performance and they cost 5-8€ a piece. I'm glad even those brands are getting some recognition

[@NightMotorcyclist]

They are not the OG Antec that we all knew and loved. They failed to keep up with the market and went downhill after being purchased by some Taiwanese company in the 2010s. It was disappointing as I had both LANBoy I and II cases, multiple TruePower Trio and Earth Watt PSUs for my old AMD Athlon XP builds that I still use to this day. Even had their PSU tester and various LED fans that were single color LEDs in the 2005 era.

[@ChristopherWoods]

@@NightMotorcyclist oh that's really disappointing. I still have a couple of Antec cases in use today! Boo... As well as a bunch of Arctic fans, brackets, plus my cupboard at home and at work always has stocks of Arctic Silver.

[@rysterstech]

@@JerziTBoss steer clear of the ball bearing co versions, those have loads of problems from the few users who bought the ball bearing models.

[@beerdedphantom3925]

I did a refresh on my aging system last summer and put 4 of these in my case. I chose them because the price was right, I recognized the name, and they weren't some weird color like brown and beige. Yeah, they felt a little cheap in the hand (as you'd expect) but I was surprised at how well they seemed to move air and how quiet they were. The white blades reflect what little light I do have going on in there, which I think looks pretty classy.

[@bothellkenmore]

Never a bad idea to have 1 fan in reserve.

[@NostradAlex]

I love how so many people just mention the Arctic P12 or P14. Those are really good fans. Especially when considering the price. When the Fractal Design R6 came out I bought it and was really disappointed in the fans it came with. They pushed no air and when maxed out at 1000rpm where really loud and annoying. Then I wanted to replace them with some Noctua's but then I saw the price for the Noctua ones and researched a bit more thus I found the Arctic ones. I love the P14's I bought. The noise dropped, they moved more air even at really low rpm so much so that the temperatures for the GPU, CPU and VRM of the motherboard dropped by 10C compared to the Fractal ones at max rpm. Yes the Arctic ones running at lower rpm beat the Fractal ones at max rpm, and by a lot.

[@ausfoodgarden]

I have a system running Antec fans similar to these with the same bearing type. It runs 24/7. The fans were installed in 2013 and still working fine.

[@soapa4279]

IMO you can also just go with the 5 pack of Arctic P12’s for $35, and still have 4 pin PWM control, and they are also pretty quiet and perform well. Edit: A ton of other comments already pointed this out too

[@pupsaderpupin5627]

I have been pleasantly surprised by these fans, they even match the noctua 6 year warranty.

[@JohnAlzayat]

That's the one I plan to get for my 3070 build, gonna get as many as the O11 Mini can handle and maybe 1 or 2 extra just in case.

Going through the Amazon price history is pretty cool. In 2019 these hit Amazon at $45, spent most of their life at$25, before hitting $20 in June of 2020. Jan 31, 2023 saw them drop to $18 before the Jay bump shot them back up to $25 on Feb 4th at 2 AM

I actually love white blade fans. I specifically prefer black frame and white blade, the look of it while spinning somehow looks great in my black case.

+1 to the recommendations for the Arctic PWM 5-pack. Bought a pack when the fan bearings on my Corsair AIO wore out and to add some extra airflow to my gpu. Pleased with the price, build quality, performance, and noise.

-- They're still around. Thanks for the info. Not big into all sorts of LEDs on my case, but it does take 10, 120mm fans (not that I'm filling them all). Just needed three exhaust on the roof, one for another rig, and one backup. Perfect. Ordering them.

[@jamesmcgee9279]

I did a budget build using these. Still work like a charm.

[@RyTrapp0]

Jay, make sure you check out the Arctic F12 fans too - they have them in a couple different versions(3-pin, 4-pin, standard cable or daisy chainable), $30 for a 5-pack, ~$5 a piece! I tell everyone that builds their own PCs that they've gotta get a pack of them whether they need them or not, they're just too convenient for too good of a price! Nice to see the Antec name, always liked their products too. Right in the same area as Arctic, nice quality products for budget prices.

[@JerziTBoss]

Arctic P12 are also good pick for similar price and if you want 140mm fans you can pick P14... All PC I've built in recent years are using Arctic fans. It's amazing how cheap yet awesome those fans are

[@NightMotorcyclist]

All my budget builds featured Arctic P12 as they were very cheap for 120mm fans but performed well above their price class and they're PWM. Unfortunately more people became more in the know about them and they are now constantly out of stock at my local Micro Center.

[@KingFraggle]

Antec! I actually just moved my computer to an Antec case, the P10 FLUX, because I wanted a modern case that was roomy, quiet, and has a 5.25-inch bay for a Blu-ray drive (yes, I still collect physical discs, I'm old, lol). Very pleased with it so far.

[@master_baiter1873]

Hes done thay

[@RyTrapp0]

@Ugga Bugga lol, I think you missed the point. When one of whatever fans you have fails(because everything has a lifespan), one of these are what you pull off the shelf and throw in to get you by until you get a replacement. No shit that fans you're getting for $6 a piece aren't as nice as fans that cost $35 a piece...

[@georgiosskokos6302]

I bought the p12 pwm model back at 2019 . They are pressure optimized which means better for water cool and higher CFM 56.3 rated with 200-1800 rpm. Also they are better quality and they are same price. I have 9 fans paid about 50 euros and they are better than most expensive fans

[@itsdotto]

I also like arctic's basic fans too price wise

[@TA-bs1hr]

Silent, good quality and reliable but still cheap. I like them also :)

[@Vapeguygaming]

I just bought a 5 pack of the antec rgb fusions for my new build last week paid about $60 for them & tbh they work great they are rated for 2000RPM & 57CFM & so far they work great they can be a little loud at max rpm but I put them on a solid curve to keep good air moving but also be more quieter I highly recommend these fans

[@PrimalDashes]

The RGB versions are decently priced too. Comes out to $8/fan for 5 pack

[@RealRSmokinJoe]

I have some Rosewill white LED fans (7) in my case, they are fairly quiet and work well. Probably will upgrade to better fans soon, but these have been fine so far.

[@ghomerhust]

i just bought several of the older style LED rosewill fans for a couple of vintage case rebuilds, and they're excellent. lots of flow (only 80mm fans) and you can barely hear them over my noctua nfa12s at speed. and they look super 2005ish haha

[@ericdeltoro8484]

My goto fans are Arctic P12 fans. They move around 66CFM, good static pressure, and can easily be daisy chained. They cost about $32 for a 5 pack, that's about $6.50 a fan. I can't think of anything else to use than those for very cheap fans.

[@SkateClipsAndTips]

I tried Arctic and couldn't be happier, all their fans are daisychainable and affordable. They are also pretty quiet even with higher rpm's

[@riddlex]

This is why I love J2C, I thought while watching the video, what if I pass more voltage into the fans, and boom, Jays does it.

[@anandgarde13]

I had Antec's Prizm fans in my old case, they were cheap at the time, like 10 bucks a fan I think, came in a 5 pack. Looked awesome with the RGB rings, moved plenty of air. But they were kind of loud compared to what I use now, Thermaltake's Toughfan 12s (clone of Noctua's NF-A12x25). I have been considering going back because I kind of miss the RGB, and the rings on the Prizms looked really good.

[@andrewdicks2301]

I have Prism X's I considered the corsiars, but they are a complete rip-off! All controlled by the modo, they are quiet and look great.

[@mromutt]

Not only are those fans still available but they also are in black now. As well as a little more you can get them with a colored led. As for the voltage they probably can do upto 24v since most stuff like that is actually designed as far as I know to run from around 9v to 24v sometimes up to the low 30s. Its the cheapos that cant or the modern overpriced stuff (surprise, overengineer something it becomes less flexible!) XD. Oh and a note on measuring the cfm, dont worry about trying to be super accurate. One fan to another can vary so wildly that being precise doesnt matter and ballparking it for us is probably more accurate. Only time it needs to be precise is if you are testing the manufactures' claims (which is really more a gamers nexus thing), I think for what you are doing/trying to show, this setup is perfect.

[@DowsettReviews]

Arctic p12 pst or non pst are also a great budget fan. I've used them lots and they do a great job without breaking the bank.

[@NightWolfx03]

I remember reviewing a Rosewill RFX-80 fan, they were $4.99 and had dual ball bearings, I had some last over 10 years. They also had the RFX-120 which was $7.99 at the time. It seems they mostly stopped selling them, but I was one of the first to review them and only 10+years later did any of them fail, was a pretty good deal I think.

[@MrInvisibiility]

I've been wanting some reviews on Antec fans. I picked up some Antec Storm PWM fans that looked really good, haven't put them in yet. Also a good value depending on the price you snag them at. I think I paid $35 for 5. Great work on getting some content out for the budget conscious PC people! ^_^

I bought and used these in my first build. They're still running today. They did pick up some noise but their ability to move air never diminished. Definitely recommend as well, especially if you're staying away from RGB. First time, on a budget build? DEFINITELY recommend these. As a side note, after such an agreeable experience with these fans, I've considered the Antec name in other products.

I have been using these cans for YEARS!!! Love them! They come in pwm also! Every pc in my house has the F12s baby! Nice and quick too

[@poopy9172]

I will stick with Arctic P12s for a long time tbh. They are bit more expensive (Tip: Arctic constantly makes discounts in eBay through its own shop If you buy at least 4 of them without the packaging and screws). Independent testing showed that P12s are pretty much as good as Noctua NF A12s, while being just a bit louder at high RPMs and having a slight noise from the rotor. On the plus side, they sell them in black and white, each one with either solid or color matched trasparent blades. Also: Gigabyte motherboards are known to be tricky sometimes with DC fans, most of the time the motherboard isn't able to regulate voltage, so they stay either completely off or at 12V.

[@Dave-kh6tx]

I've only owned 2 antec products and they were the same thing. a usb powered blower type laptop cooler you rested your 'top on but is terrible for gaming laptops that exhaust everything in the back. after about 3 years it started making noise and I figured out it didn't make noise upside down so I repurposed it and happened upon BNIB for $5 into ~4th year of ownership. I gave the original away and put the new one in service. It's stowed away now but using it upside was pretty cool for my receiver and amps.

[@02091992able]

I believe these are the fans I bought for my new system that I just built with my brother for Christmas. They work pretty good for just moving air. The most noticeable noise from my PC is the AMD CPU fan which isn't even loud on its own and hardly even ramps up even when playing more demand games. But I am using an 8 core Ryzen 5700G. Hardly any of the games I have will use that much power from it.

I bought a set of 5 for my daughters PC that I built for her a while back. I got a set of 5 Prism series 120mm fans. These have been great for her computer. Spent about $60 because of the rainbow vomit, so it broke down to about $12 per fan. A little more than the fans you are talking about in this video. But I actually have a similar set on order for my current build to move more air in it as I am running an air cooled 5900x

[@Noted1337]

I lately bought arctic p12 pwm pst black-transparent fans (if you don't care about looks it literally doesn't change performance), for less than 5.8$ each and those are great and 1-1.4$ cheaper than normal p12 pwm pst. Probably cheapest, but still good option with pwm. But honestly I am not going over 1000 rpm even once a week, so these should do their job pretty well

I used to have a bad ass antec case and the fans that came in it moved a lot of air and still weren't too loud. I have since moved on to other cases, kept the fans. My boys power supply fan went out on the build we did a couple years ago and it was an evga power supply. I mounted one of the antec fans on the exhaust of the power supply and It moved more air than the stock fan when it ran. Also pulled enough air to spin up the dead fan. Also that antec fan is close to 20 years old and still kicking.

I've _always_ used cheap fans, for over twenty years at this point. Sure they can be a bit louder sometimes, but that's fine. In that time, across dozens of fans, I've only had two ever start to fail on me (making unusual noises, they never completely stopped). One after years of continuous use, and recently one that came on a Peerless Assassin, after just a few months. Thermalright also makes some good cheaper fans, I have a pack of their ARGB TL-C12C-S fans in the mail right now, $12 for three.

I'm glad the lesser known brands are getting some recognition. My fans of choice are P12 and P14 fans from Arctic. They are PWM and PST fans meaning you can regulate their speed and you can daisy chain them so no need for splitters and they are easy to cable manage. The best thing about them is that they cost 5-8€ a piece. I filled whole Corsair 4000D with Arctic fans for 30€ and the PC is dead silent. Just to compare for 30€ I would get 1 corsair or 1 noctua fan.

Those 15 fans have had no issues at all. No bearing problems and I can tune them down all the way to around 175RPM. Best fan for the price EVER.

I wanted to get Noctua but I did not have a gold bar to get five of them. The crazy part for fans to find is the longer bolts to go into a radiator, those long bolts are CRAZY to find em now! It would be funny but it's frustrating. I wish fan makers would give us the longer ones!

[@dionbrody3766]

Ngl these fans are great on a budget. I remember I got my dads old pre-owned gaming pc, it has one fan in it providing no cooling, so whenever I put any heavy load on my gpu (plus it was a super cheap rx580 with crappy fans) it would over heat. So since I got tired of stripping my case and using house fans to keep things cool, I found those fans and the worked pretty good saying just how cheap they are. There perfect when your broke and in a pinch.

This will probably go unnoticed, but the Thermalright C12C also cost $4-5 per fan, but with almost twice the CFM and 1500 RPM.

Still rocking gentle typhoons from 14 years ago. Think I paid $11 each which was absurd back then. Think I picked up 12 at the time and none have failed yet.

[@Dexteritas55]

When I took a look at the ASROCk B650M riptide the fan headers only put out 1 amp except the cpu/pump header that was 2 amps for the pump

[@michelmeijerink]

Maybe consider Arctic P12 120mm. These cost 5 dollars, but have black blade in stead of white, are 4 pins PWM and can achieve 1200 rpm. So better in many ways for 1 more dollar.

[@JaredBonter]

I didn't know fans xame with 4 pin, my Corsairs are 3 pin and I built my system only a few years ago. FanControl works great with them too

[@jerryknudsen7898]

never been a fan (lol) of pwm case fans. I'd rather get some silent budget static speed fans, because ultimately with how fast cpu frequency and temps shift they are always too late to be beneficial. by the time the whole case has went helicopter mode, the cpu has already dialed by. This is for air coolers of course, but just some decent silent fans or even cheap rgb fans kit that come with a remote to set static speed works best in my opinion.

For the same price (22 € for 5) i would buy Arctic Colling PWM PST fans. Daisy chain = less cable crap in case and no problem with cable length at all... and we get very good quality, better performance (53 CFM m3/h), also quiet. Interesting fact - Arctic Cooling Fans Series have also an letter on the naming, "P" ist for static air Pressure optimization and "F" standing for air Flow optimized versions.

[@richardajoy79]

There are nice Antec P12 PWM fans that are all black, if I was going budget I'd prob buy them ones due to not liking white and supposed to be from their performance range.

[@MeisterLeuchte]

actually i still have 3 of them yate loon D12SL-12 120mm fans in my case. daily use for 15+ years and they simply won't die.

[@Bandrosonk]

THE VGG reference had me dying!

[@La_sagne]

2 extra cheap intake fans going at very low rpm will be the best ROI ever if you didnt have fans yet. you wont hear them(especially since your gpu and cpu will be quieter) and youll have a 5 -10% performance gain or a quieter system that will last longer for $10

[@tuxediomafia]

One brand I recently tried was a 6pack of "CoolMoon" came in white 5v ARGB/pwm and they came with a magnetic 9 fan hub as well. came in at $60 canadian. the hub is sata powered and you end up with a single wire going to the motherborad for your PWM and one for your ARGB. they are quite and look ok. And like J says get some stickers...

[@doxnoogle5782]

The VGG reference just made my day haha

[@FrgottenFrshness]

The RGB version is also on sale 21% off under $8/fan

[@IncendiaryPanda]

I built my first PC last year and bought these fans! They work fantastic! Definitely a win

[@ckmoore101]

New to your channel. Your ViceGrip shoutout just earned you many up points. Subbed...

[@manbun_tech7417]

actually not a bad deal at all! antec and uphere is starting to make some great moves in the budget market!

[@RichWhiteUM]

My daughter had these fans in her old Ryzen 7 3700X build. The fans outlived her Asus ROG B450 Strix-F motherboard.

[@99adgil]

£33 in UK what a bummer needed some of these too

[@penguinsniper155]

I had these fans running basically 24/7 for almost 2 years and ran completely good. Just sold them along with the pc they were in to a friend.

[@StickyIcky4269]

Sale was already over by the time I checked out the link (10 mins ago) but the fans are still available at their normal price.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

I remember when I was a kid, I'd order yate loon fans for $3-5 a piece ($3 for black plastic, $5 for clear crystal plastic with single color LEDs). I must have gone through dozens of those fans since they died consistently within 2-5 years. It does not surprise me that Antec is carrying that flag now, but if you are looking for cheap 3 pin fans these days, you should definitely look at the price on yate loons as well. They had decent static pressure for the time as well so they made decent cheap radiator fans, my first watercooling kit from DangerDen came with yate loon fans preinstalled on the radiator lol. But yea, when I got started, either you were spendy and you bought Noctua fans, or maybe Scythe Gentle Typhoons (the original AX12-25 style fan, from Scythe/Nidec, jay has a video on these fans aready), with very few in between fans that were as popular, save for Antec's own PWM fans
