Thanks to an alloy/lubricant combination developed in Germany, friction within the bearing is reduced and greater efficiency is achieved. In this way, less heat develops, less bearing noise is generated and the service life of the fan is extended. In our opinion, it’s a great time to be building an RGB rig. While fan manufacturers like Noctua still rule the roost in outright performance, RGB fans like the Arctic P ARGB series have caught up reasonably well. You’re now no longer sacrificing your cooling performance in the name of aesthetics and cool lighting effects. The three DeepCool fans are therefore also the budget recommendation for very quiet systems. The FK120, FC120 and CF120 do not give much in this comparison: They offer decent performance even at low speeds. Like graphics card fans, the EVO 120ER can be configured to stop spinning below specific temperatures. This can help prolong the fan’s life and reduce dust buildup on your radiators.

ANALOG 4-PIN OUTPUT: The RGB controller has standardized RGB 4-pin connectors, which can be used to connect and control RGB products from ARCTIC and other brands I got some P12 Max’s but was disappointed with the overall noise distribution so I returned them (they definitely moved a lot of air but they were considerably noisier across the entire rpm range compared to the P12 CO’s I had, and one was particularly noisy when placed on a radiator – maybe I got a bad early batch). So I must admit that I missed that there are also different revisions of the P12 PWM PST. In this case, ours, tested, will be the rev. 1. – 0.08 A and without the revision specified next to the EAN code. That’s how Artcic usually does it when it’s the first revision…well, it did once the noise became high enough to make all the finetuing Noctua does irrelevant, at 31dB(A) and below there’s no competition, and I hope we’ll see these lower noise targets soon” The fans from the brands Noctua, Corsair and the majority of the models from be quiet! do not stand out much in this 120 mm case fan test. Overall, these brands fill the midfield, which is not a bad performance by any means, but just not an outstanding victory that might have been attributed to them without the comparison. At least it is noticeable that the Corsair QL120 does better than the 140 mm models from the corresponding parallel test. Conclusion

Per me, non esistono altre ventole. Certo al massimo si sentono, ma se vanno al massimo o state andando sulla luna, o il case va a fuoco, o vi piace il rumore di un aereo.Die Performance auf dem Radiator ist außergewöhnlich gut, in anderen Bereichen noch immer besser, als man es bei dem Preis erwarten würde.

The Prisma AL-14/PWM is a solid all-around option, and it’ll do well as both an intake and exhaust. We think it’d work best as a static pressure intake fan, though, as there aren’t many 140 mm RGB fans on the market with a comparable static pressure rating.As you mentioned, I also think Arctic’s solution is very cost-efficient way to resolve the unintended vibration of impeller. Everyone knows that the better way is using LCP material, but then the price and difficulties of manufacturing becomes the main problem. The price-performance victory is captured by the Arctic P12, P12 Max and the DeepCool FK120, which hardly leave any performance on the line compared to the pure winners despite the much lower price. What has remained similar, on the other hand, is the shape of the fan blades. The Arctic P12 Max feel more massive in terms of the motor and fan blades. And that seems to be relevant by the following point in certain areas: Loudness and Performance So these aren’t cheap fans to run. But the expense might be worth it if you’re building a showpiece rig and need high-end RGB lighting to complete the build. Overall, the Corsair QL120 and QL140’s dual-sided RGB and relatively high LED count make them the best-looking RGB fans right now.
