Great video thanks Mike, talking about the Arctic, some people think that the Arctic and the Antarctic are the same....but in fact, they're polar opposites.
Antarctica isn't a continent, it's all around us. Good luck with getting past it, they don't let us. Anyone knows what's beyond please let me know 👍 and please remember freemasons fake "outer space". There's no proof, there never was proof and there never will be proof. Thousands and thousands of satellites yet I can't get a photo of a satellites from another satellite, the list is long of streams and photos we would have if any of that was reality but sadly we only get computer generated images and data interpreted by artists that imagine what it might look like if it were real. "It's photoshopped, because it has to be" (nasa computer artist).
I always love how straightforward your videos are! I’m currently using 2 Arctic P12s as exhaust for my Corsair AIO and I was blown away (literally) by how much more efficient they are at moving air than the 2 fans the AIO came with. I’m thinking about replacing the 4 Corsair LL120 RGB fans (3 Intake, 1 rear exhaust) with these Arctic ARGB ones. Thank you again for all your work and the content you produce! I love it
Hi, Mike. The Arctic P12 and P14 have become my favorite fans. I prefer the 12V 4 pin RGB version. As I've said before, I only use a single static color, usually blue, so I only hook up the ground and the blue leads to get the color without installing any software. In regards to the mess of cables, I always cut and splice them together into groups of three so I only have one PWM cable and one RGB cable to connect per 3 fans.
i would prefer to trim the unused connections off, but i think in the back of my mind back to when i trimmed of the molex connections on a bequiet PSU and regretted it straight away when i got fans to test or a case that used the molex for RGB power etc. That episode has left a deep scar
Totally agree, Oletta. Last Aug. I changed from 3 Thermaltake PURELed 12 Red and 1 stock TT cooler (40 CFM) fans to 4 ARCTIC P12 PWM No RGB (56.3 CFM). Config: 2 intake, 2 outtake. My 3 3,5" HDD's are always cool and I've seen a great improvement in the system.
Do you think it's possible to run RGB on 6 of these from a single RGB 12V header? I checked my motherboard manual and it says the header can support 2A while each fan needs 0.2A. I would split the fans by 3 for the fan control itself.
Thanks Mike for this review 🥳👋 I personally have Arctic P14 & 12’s in my builds and they’re awesome to use with great airflow and very quiet when under load 🥰👍. Arctic definitely smashing “cooling” outta the park wi their coolers, AIO’s and fans with vg pricing to match 🥰🥳. I love the RGB implementation here 🥰 and the design. I wish a new defacto standard would be implemented with RGB/Fans with a single connector (like pinned connectors founds on wireless pc case front panels) eliminating aaallllll the wires etc. great roundup review of this product and definitely worth buying imo. Cheers 🍻
Great video, Mike! I bought four of Arctic's P12 PWM PST Slim fans for my mini ITX PC (mainly because I'm not a fan of RGB (no pun intended)) and they are fantastic. They perform great, they're super quiet and the price is very reasonable, at just $8 per fan. Not to mention, if any of the fans do go bad, I don't have to worry, because they have a ten year warranty. I'm super happy with my purchase.
i only got to see this review vid now due to discrepancy in asian currency we can only afford technologies 2yrs later your reviews are very straightforward and helpful, thanks a lot!
Nice timing, Mike, just got these for my PC and man did they help keeping 5600X in decent temps. No more of those high 80s (Celsius) or even low 90s. With the set of three of these fans, my temps, even with the stock cooler, are holding at low 80s at max. Still considering getting better cooler, but for the time being, these fans did miracle to my system.
Nice review as always. Those fans are a great design and well thought out. It's great to see no matter what new PC parts come out...we all win from form and new innovation. s. Even the lower cost parts are getting better also. Take care, be safe. Cheers
Pretty much the only fan I've got in my setup. Even replaced the ones which came with my AK620, which did raise the temps by about 2 degrees C under load, but they do look amazing. Love them
Been rocking a few of these for year and half now. Good speed range, decent lighting, and yes, cabling can be fiddly, you'll need velcro/zipties aplenty. But at least it's standard connections, not proprietary and you don't need a controller as you're daisy chaining them. Amazon currently have them for £10, which is still a great price considering the competition is at least double that.
Thank you again for the overviews! I always end up here just before a purchase. Not that you'd remember the message several months ago, but I got that Arctic fan hub working fine. It was a new build and the P12 Max connectors seat easily now, always did, it must have been bum luck it was the first one I put in that got slightly wedged. I got three of these to illuminate top down inside a lovely green Core P6 that looks a bit 'unfulfilled' sitting next to me... not personally into RGB, but they will function as a night light on white I figure... so I _am_ into RGB now.
@@mikesunboxing yeah man, I got the fan controller (that you didn’t like), the aRGB anti sag bracket and now these fans. I’ve got a fractual pop air case and the stock fans aren’t great, they aren’t PVM but are aRGB 5V. They make a kinda weird noise from the bearing all the time which you can hear and don’t move a lot of air. Sorry I couldn’t use an affiliate link as Amazon don’t have the stock of the white ones I need so Scan sorted me out. May upload some pictures tomorrow once installed!
To answer some of the questions you had at the end of the video Mike. Yes I use the PST, it helps keep things extremely tidy and prefer it that way. PWM with power sharing, and nice RGB, these pretty much hit the mark for anyone wanted a 120mm black rgb fan. I prefer pulse modulation over voltage regulation for RPM because it's supposedly more power efficient because of the 12v not needing to fluctuate. So yeah, totally agree with you, Quiet, nice RGB, PWM, and Power Sharing, really no cons on these fans. Just need more sizes and white versions. Thanks for showing these off, I think you'll agree these are better than Arctic's first shot at RGB.
Mike, I do hope you have still those plastic corners of the tempered glass of your Techware VXR. I have the same model of case, but from Intertech, and those people are advising to keep those corners on the glass panels as they provide protection and relief the tension that may occur while the panels are mounted on the case.
Nice fans and good review Mike but again I think Arctic have missed a trick by having solid black sides on the outer case part. My Lian Li case sits next to me on the desktop and the rad is at eye level...so basically I can't see any effect without bending my head down and looking up. Even the lovely Corsair LL fans used elsewhere in the case (which I can see great from the front) don't have any effect from the side. Hence I used Alpenfohn fans on the rad which have 2 narrow slits that the light comes through and are quite effective....that's all Arctic would have to do...cut one or more slits or even a full translucent window and the light from the "blade joining ring" would be visible from the side.....just a thought.
These look like the dogs 🍒. Lighting looks great, price is very fair and the performance is up to their usual standard. If I didn’t have case fans included in my current case I’d buy 6 of these and fill it with these for sure. Thanks Mike!
Thank you thank you thank you I've got 140 mm version but this video taught me how to connect to my onboard Hub and I don't have to use those other leads. I have a Montech AIR 903 Max case
They look really good! If I wasn't committed to Corsair they would be something I would definitely use! And I would definitely daisy-chain them in sets of 3. On Scan they are £34 for 3... Thanks, Bill.
Awesome, I love my arctic 360 AIO, and those fans are excellent, it's a top performer if I look up some tabs, or even Gamers Nexus tests, but I wanted to give them some lights, thinking about getting all my case fans an upgrade, hoping I wouldn't hurt my CPU cooling. This looks perfect, even tho getting 3x140 and 4x120 is not the cheapest, it's better than anything else. Glad I can stick with Arctic. 👍👍
Great review Mike. Still using arctic fans in dters pc. Like the design and quality and good price! Thanks for reviewing Mike & Kath👍 Ps: are you doing a video on mining, pros cons etc? Would find your thoughts on mining interesting.
arctic fans are really good when they are available at the right price, the last year or so has seen the prices go mad, so i t is good to see these now back to sensible pricing. Regarding the CPU mining i will address it at some point, but i am still at the point of learning right now, and it seems to be rather pointless in terms of instant income, more of a speculative thing
I have a couple of the black p12 fans and they are awesome. Really wanting to get the rgb 4 pin set since my motherboard only has a 12v 4 pin connection. Currently I’m having to use a converter and the fans that came with my pc are molex and it’s a cable nightmare. With these it would be so much simplified and I can get rid of 2 unnecessary psu cables.
Just got 4 of these fans at Scan. Instead of buying the 3pack plus 1, I bought 4 singles for £39.94. I think they're on a one-day deal but the stocks are low.
Oh darn, these look amazing. Although I'm unfortunately too used to the chinese RGB kits, with a remote controller for quick changes and the simplicity of the cable management: one cable per fan instead of two. Not to mention that I would need two hubs, one to connect every single PWM cable to and the little one also by Arctic that has a little remote with it to connect all the RGB cables; I'm not really that trustful of running 5 fans of one single connector and daisy-chain them all.
There should be an artic vs metallicgear video... the 120/140mm metallicgear skiron mg fans (which are highly overlooked, but are cheap, and perform very well) and they have very good and bright rgb.
I'm wondering, to save space on the flyleads, wouldn't it make sense to snip off the female connectors - making sure to label each cable as to which pin it is, and then couple all equivalent pins using WAGO connectors, like you'd do in one of your home's junction boxes? Or is this not feasible to do?
sort of but the idea is that when you daisy chain these the ARGB length gets longer and the signal passes through rather than just replicating the signal.
@@mikesunboxing I’d suggest then coupling the original leads into a wago with a lengthier cable which then connects into another wago which acts as the main junction. Like a power strip behind a tv - This is all conjecture though. Never tried it and never seen it tried but interesting thought nonetheless - heck if it works, realistically there’s no reason manufacturers shouldn’t standardise behind such a system.
Hey, thank you for the video, it is nice to have good fans, but it is also important to have a good program to hanbdle them. Would you know a good fan program else then bios?
@@mikesunboxing P14 PWN PST A-RGB, fantastic price and performance. Noctua i also use in my other rig, i do compose music and noctua has always been amazing. My new rig is for a little of everything, så i wanted it to have some bling bling and still be quality made, so i went for the Arctic on this one. Btw. Arctic also make awesome looking and very effective air Coolers for a very cheap price. I bought an Arctic Freezer i35 A-RGB. That's is amazing for tje price and very effective
just bought a couple of the p14s for the front of my fractal case. super excited to try these out! by the way Mike, would you recommend either daisy chaining these into one argb header or just giving each fan its own argb header since i'll be only running two of these and have enough headers to spare? I already have an arctic BioniX as an exhaust and have been more than impressed with how quiet and efficient it is at moving air. Plus i got it dirt cheap from arctic directly on ebay, its astounding how well made and cheap these fans are for how great they perform!
@@mikesunboxing all right thats good to know, thanks Mike! I ended up cancelling my order and instead bought the 3 pack of these fans for just 3 bucks more lol. An Arctic rep also told me I can use these with other branded fans so I cant wait to try that out with a cooler master argb fan I have in my case already.
Since the making of this video, a lot of different addressable PWM RGB fans have hit the market. Some are really spectacular, bright with longer warranty LEDs. Most of the brands are available in the multi fan kits with a fan controller hub to get you started. Arctic ARGB is still the best balance between price, bling and warranty
Will i be able to control the color of those fans from software such as ( RGB fusion ) as stated on the pack, or do i need controllers and stuff like that?
@@mikesunboxing i will be getting a GIGABYTE Z690 GAMING X DDR4, will i be able to control the LED from there without buying extra parts. My question is can i just buy the fans without anything extra and then control them with software installed on my pc.
I actually own this cooler for a while now, I needed a replacement for a MSI 240 AiO fail and spotted this on amazon at a reasonable price, I bought it and wasn't disappointed it performed much better and its keeping my Ryzen 3600 XT cool with temps of 35C idle,55C playing Halo Infinite so i am not complaining with that!, only downside is, its slightly taller than my case, so now i have to buy a bigger one to accommodate it."sigh"😂
the fans have splitters already but you might want to use a powered hub to take the strain off the motherboard headers. i used this one th-cam.com/video/NascIXmycNI/w-d-xo.html
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for your respons.Is it unavailable on amazon. Any recommendations for pwm and argb splitters as my b660-A rog Strix has only 3 argb headers.
I'm about to start my build, and I noticed I have the same case, cooler, and fans as you. I was thinking about where/how to orient the fans and radiator. Because the case has a glass front, I was thinking of having 3x intake top and bottom, then exhaust 1 rear fan, then the radiator blowing out of the front/side. Is that what you're doing on yours? What is your fan orientation here?

hey mike im going to be building my very first pc and i got 4 of these fans and arctic liquid freezer ii 240 aio, what hubs do you recommend me to get for them? I dont know a lot about pc's and im kind of nervous to build such an expensive one.

Hi there! Need little bit of help with something. I wanna buy 4 x Arctic P14 PWM PST A-RGB and 2 x Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB, since I wanna be able to change colors and speed of the fans, would Arctic A-RGB Controller and Arctic case Fan Hub do the job via RGB Control Master software? Will those controllers be enough for those 6 fans regarding speed and color of it? And I forgot to mention that I have Asus B550-F Gaming motherboard! Thanks in advance!
you will possibly need a ARGB hub with enough ports for all the devices, and i would maybe look at using a splitter on a couple of headers so the 14cm fans are one speed and the 120s another speed

Hello. I use a P12 ARGB on my CPU cooler. As a fan, it is excellent, but the lighting effects reset to a static blue color each time after restarting my PC. However, as soon as I open RGB Fusion 2.0, the lighting corrects itself. My motherboard is Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2. How to make the lights remain the same after restarting the PC?
@@mikesunboxing Thanks, but there is no such box in my software. There is "always run on the next reboot", but it doesn't help. Also, would you recommend P12 ARGB as a rear exhaust fan?

White version doesn't exist (hopefully yet), but 140 mm version was released recently. However, AFAIK, for the time being, it is only available on Arctic's own eshop and the price for single fan, € 19.99, seems a little too much. However, the set of three is priced decently at € 43.99. Not sure, however, if they are delivering outside of Europe.
@@mikesunboxing I've managed to get the rgb working but because 2 of the headers are plugged into the motherboard one of the fans has no power because I've ran out of connectors.
I could really use some help. So, I have a Z690 Tomahawk MB and Phanteks P500a case, I want to swap out the stock 3 pin ARGB fans for 4 pin RGB PWM fans and daisy chain the 6 fans then connect to my 4 pin 12v RGB header and be able to sync everything, hopefully without frying my MB. The problem is that will be too many fans on 1 header, and only other choice is to use the 3 pin but different voltage and those are for ARGB, not RGB and understand they shouldn't be mixed due to different voltage. So how can I safely connect 6 RGB 4 pin PWM/PST fans to my 4 pin RGB header?

@@mikesunboxing I was wrong. I thought ARGB could not be a static colour, that put me off. But seems dependant on software, and after checking Mystic Light, it does include a static option. So I could then daisy chain 2 ARGB fans up to each of my 5v ARGB headers allowing me to add 6 fans and control it through MB software. Could I even put 6 fans on 2 headers and would leave me 1 spare for maybe a light strip ?
yes that is becoming a common theme with fans these days. Seems the 30-40 pounds mark for 3 fans is becoming more acceptable in the market, rather the the 15-25 it used to often be.

Hi Mike,
Just stumbled onto your review of these after the Discord recommendation.
they are really good, the only negative for me is the weird offset for the wiring coming out
They are great. Just got them installed. Works perfectly with Asus Aura sync

This looks perfect, even tho getting 3x140 and 4x120 is not the cheapest, it's better than anything else. Glad I can stick with Arctic. 👍👍
i am going to replace the freezer 2 360 fans with these soon
Thanks for this. Good review.
Glad it was helpful!
Great review Mike. Still using arctic fans in dters pc. Like the design and quality and good price! Thanks for reviewing Mike & Kath👍
Ps: are you doing a video on mining, pros cons etc? Would find your thoughts on mining interesting.
arctic fans are really good when they are available at the right price, the last year or so has seen the prices go mad, so i t is good to see these now back to sensible pricing.
Regarding the CPU mining i will address it at some point, but i am still at the point of learning right now, and it seems to be rather pointless in terms of instant income, more of a speculative thing
I have a couple of the black p12 fans and they are awesome. Really wanting to get the rgb 4 pin set since my motherboard only has a 12v 4 pin connection. Currently I’m having to use a converter and the fans that came with my pc are molex and it’s a cable nightmare. With these it would be so much simplified and I can get rid of 2 unnecessary psu cables.
yes it would tidy things up quite a bit
Just got 4 of these fans at Scan. Instead of buying the 3pack plus 1, I bought 4 singles for £39.94. I think they're on a one-day deal but the stocks are low.
thanks for the heads up Clive
I didn't know you could daisy chain them hahahaha so I brought the connecter for them 😅
Oh darn, these look amazing. Although I'm unfortunately too used to the chinese RGB kits, with a remote controller for quick changes and the simplicity of the cable management: one cable per fan instead of two. Not to mention that I would need two hubs, one to connect every single PWM cable to and the little one also by Arctic that has a little remote with it to connect all the RGB cables; I'm not really that trustful of running 5 fans of one single connector and daisy-chain them all.
yeah i ran 6 inwin fans daisy chained on the CPU header and when on full load it would crash the system
Cool review! Please review the Razer Chroma Addressable RGB Controller :)
okay i'll see what i can do
There should be an artic vs metallicgear video... the 120/140mm metallicgear skiron mg fans (which are highly overlooked, but are cheap, and perform very well) and they have very good and bright rgb.
i'll see what i can do
I'm wondering, to save space on the flyleads, wouldn't it make sense to snip off the female connectors - making sure to label each cable as to which pin it is, and then couple all equivalent pins using WAGO connectors, like you'd do in one of your home's junction boxes? Or is this not feasible to do?
sort of but the idea is that when you daisy chain these the ARGB length gets longer and the signal passes through rather than just replicating the signal.
@@mikesunboxing I’d suggest then coupling the original leads into a wago with a lengthier cable which then connects into another wago which acts as the main junction. Like a power strip behind a tv -
This is all conjecture though. Never tried it and never seen it tried but interesting thought nonetheless - heck if it works, realistically there’s no reason manufacturers shouldn’t standardise behind such a system.
Hey, thank you for the video, it is nice to have good fans, but it is also important to have a good program to hanbdle them. Would you know a good fan program else then bios?
depends on the board ASUS and MSI have quite good software to control fans
Brilliant kit.
yes they really are quite special
Nice fans, i'm so desperate to replace my cheapo NON PWM Ubanner fans, but, 9 fans replacement is a bit pricey for me at the moment :(
if you don’t need RGB you can give the non-RGB P12 value pack a try
yes that is quite the investment, maybe do it in batches of three? and you might find that 6 will be better than the ubanner nine ?
nice review, I'm convinced, but is there a reverse version of this exact model?
not currently sorry
I got 4 140mm and one 120mm, they are. Great⚔️🔥😁
i need to invest in some 140s for my editing rig
@@mikesunboxing P14 PWN PST A-RGB, fantastic price and performance. Noctua i also use in my other rig, i do compose music and noctua has always been amazing. My new rig is for a little of everything, så i wanted it to have some bling bling and still be quality made, so i went for the Arctic on this one. Btw. Arctic also make awesome looking and very effective air Coolers for a very cheap price. I bought an Arctic Freezer i35 A-RGB. That's is amazing for tje price and very effective
great vid
thanks appreciate that!
Do you have any vids on mining raptorium !
no i don't sorry and to be honest i really don't understand it all.
@@mikesunboxing can yuh refer any ?
just bought a couple of the p14s for the front of my fractal case. super excited to try these out! by the way Mike, would you recommend either daisy chaining these into one argb header or just giving each fan its own argb header since i'll be only running two of these and have enough headers to spare? I already have an arctic BioniX as an exhaust and have been more than impressed with how quiet and efficient it is at moving air. Plus i got it dirt cheap from arctic directly on ebay, its astounding how well made and cheap these fans are for how great they perform!
i would daisy chain them, also by doing that the ARGB loop expands giving a more interesting effect
@@mikesunboxing all right thats good to know, thanks Mike! I ended up cancelling my order and instead bought the 3 pack of these fans for just 3 bucks more lol. An Arctic rep also told me I can use these with other branded fans so I cant wait to try that out with a cooler master argb fan I have in my case already.
Since the making of this video, a lot of different addressable PWM RGB fans have hit the market. Some are really spectacular, bright with longer warranty LEDs. Most of the brands are available in the multi fan kits with a fan controller hub to get you started. Arctic ARGB is still the best balance between price, bling and warranty
yeah these really are still the ones to beat
I bought Corsair but with ibhad gone for these w/ the daisy Chain feature
Scan had them at £7.97 a piece last weekend, £15 postage for me so i had to pass. Even at £35 for the 3 pack they're a steal! Nice one!
Oh wow! that is a great price, but the postage (insert meme here)
Will i be able to control the color of those fans from software such as ( RGB fusion ) as stated on the pack, or do i need controllers and stuff like that?
you will need a controller on your motherboard or a separate one, RGB fusion only talks to a controller on the gigabyte board if it has one
@@mikesunboxing i will be getting a GIGABYTE Z690 GAMING X DDR4, will i be able to control the LED from there without buying extra parts.
My question is can i just buy the fans without anything extra and then control them with software installed on my pc.
Does this chaining feature allow you to control the rgb color if you put the last one to an argb or rgd header without a controller hub?
yes that is the idea, but if the motherboard has a argb header it will use the motherboard software to control the lighting
I actually own this cooler for a while now, I needed a replacement for a MSI 240 AiO fail and spotted this on amazon at a reasonable price, I bought it and wasn't disappointed it performed much better and its keeping my Ryzen 3600 XT cool with temps of 35C idle,55C playing Halo Infinite so i am not complaining with that!, only downside is, its slightly taller than my case, so now i have to buy a bigger one to accommodate it."sigh"😂
Good time to treat yourself to a new case
@@mikesunboxing I got one from Techware Forge L winging my way.. so a small board transfer to me over the new year😁
@@paullamonte5179 enjoy!
Question, can I use these fans to replace the fans on the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo!?
yes you can
@mikesunboxing thank you! I'll definitely buy these this week!
Can you connect 3 of these fans "PWM+Argb", if you have 1 system fan headers & 1 Argb header left in motherboard?
yes you can daisy chain them
Hi.I want to buy 9 of these fans for my B660-A rog strix.What kind of spliters do i need to purchase if you can help.Thank you.
the fans have splitters already but you might want to use a powered hub to take the strain off the motherboard headers. i used this one th-cam.com/video/NascIXmycNI/w-d-xo.html
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for your respons.Is it unavailable on amazon. Any recommendations for pwm and argb splitters as my b660-A rog Strix has only 3 argb headers.
will this be good? www.overclockers.co.uk/lamptron-sp901-argb-pwm-fan-and-rgb-controller-black-fg-00u-lp.html
Would these plug into the ID-COOLING HA-02 FAN HUB?
yes good choice, we did a video on that as well
I'm about to start my build, and I noticed I have the same case, cooler, and fans as you. I was thinking about where/how to orient the fans and radiator. Because the case has a glass front, I was thinking of having 3x intake top and bottom, then exhaust 1 rear fan, then the radiator blowing out of the front/side. Is that what you're doing on yours? What is your fan orientation here?

How many of them can you daisy chain togheter?
It is likely more dependent on the hub or header you are using but safely three from any header
Just telling the name took half of the intro! Nice fans thou, but very expensive at Amazon Canada😐
Sorry about that, for both things 😎
I wonder how these compare to InWin Mercury AM120S PWM ARGB 120 x 120 x 20 mm triple-pack fans?
not sure sorry
@@mikesunboxing No worries. Do you think you could fit these fans somewhere in your review line up or in a round up? Though these fans have been out for a while.
@@linndoria I'll see what we can do, although InWin haven't been very communicative recently
@@mikesunboxing Okay. If you are able to get a set from InWin or source your own from online or local computer store that would great. Thanks for taking your time in reviewing all these different fans.
hey mike im going to be building my very first pc and i got 4 of these fans and arctic liquid freezer ii 240 aio, what hubs do you recommend me to get for them? I dont know a lot about pc's and im kind of nervous to build such an expensive one.
the arctic 10 port is a good place to start, but depends on your motherboard and case etc, feel free to drop in the discord chat to discuss more if you need to
Hi there! Need little bit of help with something. I wanna buy 4 x Arctic P14 PWM PST A-RGB and 2 x Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB, since I wanna be able to change colors and speed of the fans, would Arctic A-RGB Controller and Arctic case Fan Hub do the job via RGB Control Master software? Will those controllers be enough for those 6 fans regarding speed and color of it? And I forgot to mention that I have Asus B550-F Gaming motherboard! Thanks in advance!
you will possibly need a ARGB hub with enough ports for all the devices, and i would maybe look at using a splitter on a couple of headers so the 14cm fans are one speed and the 120s another speed
They don't have a reverse version. They lag behind their competitors.
i 100% agree with you on that
do you have to connect each fan[ Arctic p12 pwm pst co ] with another or can you just use your own fan hub and leave the PWM connector out ?
yes either way
How are these fans for airflow in my case ? Or is it only for radiators?
they are hybrid fans and suitable as either.

Are they compatible with RGB FUSIÓN 2.0 right? (Aorus rgb software)
hello may i ask what hub are you using for those rgb fans? i just bought 6 pcs of those but i cant make work the rgb leds
i used a gamemax rgb hub (we reviewed it ages ago) or you can buy really cheap sata powered ones on amazon with 10 ports for about £10
Are they ok as case fans in an air cooled build?
yes i have them as case fans in the pc sat behing me in the videos, nice and quiet and more a lot of air
I've got these, question is my mother board is a gigabyte so I've downloaded the appropriate software. For some reason the colours only stay static and not the rainbow effect, any ideas why?

Hello. I use a P12 ARGB on my CPU cooler. As a fan, it is excellent, but the lighting effects reset to a static blue color each time after restarting my PC. However, as soon as I open RGB Fusion 2.0, the lighting corrects itself. My motherboard is Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2. How to make the lights remain the same after restarting the PC?
make sure n the fusion software you have the box ticked that says start software on windows startup
@@mikesunboxing
Thanks, but there is no such box in my software. There is "always run on the next reboot", but it doesn't help.

They just need to make some 140mm versions and some white versions and that'll be great.
both are in the works apparently
@@mikesunboxing Oh hell yeah.
White version doesn't exist (hopefully yet), but 140 mm version was released recently. However, AFAIK, for the time being, it is only available on Arctic's own eshop and the price for single fan, € 19.99, seems a little too much. However, the set of three is priced decently at € 43.99. Not sure, however, if they are delivering outside of Europe.
@@petrnovak7235 Thanks for the info Petr :-)
cool look cool price in turn a cool PC everyones a winner
agreed
Sorry i dont understand english, but why does this fans have 2 connections?
so you can connect more fans
@@mikesunboxing ohhhh loool, but if i dont want to connect more fans, i just put the connector 4 pin to mb?
Any issues if i run these into my Master Cooler RBG hub?
The argb hub will be okay not a RGB hub that is a different voltage
are these good for the radiator?
yes static airflow is good
I have the rgb version of these and they are only emitting a pale yellow for some reason
are they plugged into a 12v header?
@@mikesunboxing I've managed to get the rgb working but because 2 of the headers are plugged into the motherboard one of the fans has no power because I've ran out of connectors.

I could really use some help. So, I have a Z690 Tomahawk MB and Phanteks P500a case, I want to swap out the stock 3 pin ARGB fans for 4 pin RGB PWM fans and daisy chain the 6 fans then connect to my 4 pin 12v RGB header and be able to sync everything, hopefully without frying my MB. The problem is that will be too many fans on 1 header, and only other choice is to use the 3 pin but different voltage and those are for ARGB, not RGB and understand they shouldn't be mixed due to different voltage. So how can I safely connect 6 RGB 4 pin PWM/PST fans to my 4 pin RGB header?
This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw
@@mikesunboxing Thanks but i detest Discord. I will ask elsewhere
@@deadmanwalking1930 to simplify why not ignore the 12v rgb and just use 5v argb
@@mikesunboxing I was wrong. I thought ARGB could not be a static colour, that put me off. But seems dependant on software, and after checking Mystic Light, it does include a static option. So I could then daisy chain 2 ARGB fans up to each of my 5v ARGB headers allowing me to add 6 fans and control it through MB software. Could I even put 6 fans on 2 headers and would leave me 1 spare for maybe a light strip ?
this the best argb + pwm hub?
yes pretty much for noise levels and price
its a-rgb gen 1 or 2?
not sure, i would be guessing but likely gen2
may i use this on liquid cooling ?
yes the fans are hybrid so good for case, heatsink or radiator use
@@mikesunboxing thank you for answer :)
@@serdartsn No problem 🙂
Any coil whine?
no, very quiet
@@mikesunboxing How are they above 1000rpm ? I hear many reports of an annoying humming sound.
Do these also have coil whine/noise at 1000/1200 rpm like their earlier versions?
No they are very quiet, if you get on the live stream tomorrow evening ask me to demonstrate the rpm settings
They look good... but gosh darn are they are expensive! 3 of them = cheap case. I know you get what you pay for, but...
yes that is becoming a common theme with fans these days. Seems the 30-40 pounds mark for 3 fans is becoming more acceptable in the market, rather the the 15-25 it used to often be.
I must say though Mike, I am greatly disappointed to hear the words "mining rig" come from your mouth😢
it is CPU mining not GPU mining, I'm not an animal
