ARCTIC P8 Max - PC Fan, 80mm Fan, PC Case Fan, High-performance 80 mm case fan, Server fan, PWM-controlled 500-5000 rpm, Optimised for static pressure, 0dB mode, Fluid Dynamic Bearing - Black

I chose this over the quieter version as it had a more similar airflow performance at full speed to the OEM CPU fan in my Dell Optiplex. Very glad I did, as it can keep temperatures below thermal throttling levels while being far, far quieter than the original fan. At idle or while doing basic tasks like browsing or office work, it’s all but silent - certainly quieter than a HDD. And during intensive work like encoding or gaming, it’s about 50% quieter. A great upgrade.

Great product , did the job just as I needed.Super Quite

Bought for itx build pc. Tried a slim version but this is better, great gusts of air relatively quietly. Splendid.

Works well, had one though which was producing weird sound (returned). Noise is ok if you don't go more than 2500rpm. For antything over it you get server room experience. Saying that - it is nice to have extra power to go up to 5000 in case you need it.

Fast delivery, good quality fan, easy to install and good airflow. Keeps solid airflow to my gpu

Superb fan. So quiet you can barely hear it. Easy to fit and has a good length of power cable too, enabling it to fit in any area of your case. Also comes with the screws for fitment.

Exactly what I needed on my build

The box states the contents should be 1 80mm high performance PWM Fan and 4 screws ... There were *zero* screws. The fan is advertised as 0dB at < 5% PWM .... I couldn't verify this as the fan appears uncontrollable by the Lenovo BIOS on the Sharkbay motherboard (even on the acoustically optimised setting) so it spins at the max 5000rpm .... It certainly does the job cooling but the airflow sounds like every data centre I've been in .... If all were combined at the same time. I tried unsuccessfully to control it with the Speedfan utility too. Nice job Arctic ! Given the role of the fan though is to control the temps I can't deny it does that so I will give a generous three stars for effort !

Pression statique (le critère n°1 pour moi sur mon projet) ≈ 5,3 mmH₂O, donc très puissant. Je le mets à 60%. Il est très silencieux a cette vitesse. Si vous le mettez à 100% il fera du bruit (très supportable), mais on ne lui demande pas d'être silencieux mais puissant et il fait le job!

Great small fans with great airflow. Pretty quiet for how much they push, but definitely not silent, which is okay — if you want quiet, get a “silent” fan. 4 pins though, so won’t work in 3 pin applications.

正常に動作

Leiser und effektiver Lüfter für wenig Geld. Bin sehr zufrieden!

excellent swap out for lower-power server setups. much quieter than the stock fans, use less power so they happy to run multiple off a single regular motherboard header, but they still max out near 5000RPM without excessive noise for quite good airflow. Seems like a perfect upgrade for 80mm server builds that don't need jet engine airflow but still need more than a Noctua 80mm would offer without adding much more noise. Time will tell how reliable they are, but i've used Arctic in the past in normal builds and they lived the life of the machine, but in a hot 24/7 server it might be a different story. we will see.
