The Arctic P12 Slim - New Deputy in Town?

This one's much quieter. Okay. So, in that regard, this fan is actually superior

Got myself a RTX 3080 but what case should I get ? Help me out 🙏🏼

Lian-li lancool 2 mesh performance or rgb version, lancool 215, be quiet pure base 500dx, phanteks p400a rgb, fractal design meshify 2 or c, p500a rgb, corsair 4000d airflow are some good ones. You might want to get some aditional fans, and for those i can personally recommend the arctic p12 pwm pst 5 pack. They are really good, quiet fans that are black.

Almost one full year

Ordered on November 25, 2021. I purchased two of these fans November 25, 2021. As of October 1st 2022 they both still work....kinda. One fan so far is trouble free. The other fan is likely going out. The noise it makes as it comes to its end is horrible and best described like this. "An annoying vib...

I can only trust my ears when it comes to fans. None of these reviews ever portray the noise quality of the fan where Arctic P12's are absolute trash.

Great performance a little bit flimsy

Removed stock fans as I was having clearance issues with the ram, this fans definitely are great , they have good performance and are quiet but they came broke from the centerpiecevi didn't wanted to wait to return so I super glued them and it did the trick.

Velka 5 (V1) with RTX 3070 FE + 3700x

**Noise**: It's actually pretty quiet (quieter than my full-tower 5820k + 2x GTX 970 build). The SF600 Gold was the loudest part of the system after undervolting the GPU, so I replaced it with an SF750 Platinum (which is in passive mode most of the time). The NF-A12x15 fan I was using previously wasn't too loud, but had an annoying "humm" to it, making the sound profile pretty unpleasant. The Arctic P12 Slim however, is a bit quieter and has a much more pleasant noise profil!.

It fit my case perfectly, however the fan wobble at high rpm’s allows it to clip my ram-sticks, making an annoying rattling sound. May work better for other case designs.

We have to go smaller! Sub 47mm Air cooling endgame setup complete

Welcome to the Blackridge + 120mm fan masterrace! :D

Although I prefer the Arctic P12 Slim because of it's much more pleasant noise profile.

Wasn't really a good value for the money

I purchased two of these, I have a old liquid CPU cooler that mounts dual 120mm fans on either side to move air through the radiator but when I recently moved from my very old full tower case to a mid tower it didn't quite fit in the space allotted. So I bought a couple of these and replaced the two...
