ARCTIC P12 Silent 120 mm case fan
ARCTIC P12 Silent 120 mm case fan
ARCTIC P12 Silent – quiet 120 mm case fan with high static pressure
The ARCTIC P12 Silent is a 120 mm fan developed for very quiet operation in computer cases, on heatsinks and radiators. The fan is optimised for high static pressure, making it effective even where airflow meets resistance, for example through dense heatsinks or dust filters.
With a fixed speed of 1,050 rpm and a noise level of only 0.08 Sone, the P12 Silent is intended for builds where low noise is prioritised over maximum cooling capacity.
Benefits
- Very quiet operation at 0.08 Sone through optimised fan blades
- High static pressure – performs well through heatsinks and filters
- Fluid Dynamic Bearing for long service life and smooth operation
- Standard 3-pin connection, compatible with most motherboards and fan controllers
- 6-year manufacturer warranty from ARCTIC
When should you choose this product?
The P12 Silent is suitable for a quiet workstation, home-theatre PC or office computer where a low noise level is the priority. It is also suitable as a replacement fan on a CPU cooler and as a case fan in systems with restricted airflow. The fan runs at a fixed speed and does not provide PWM control; another ARCTIC model is better suited when speed needs to be adjusted according to load.

PC & HiFi Örebro recommends
The ARCTIC P12 Silent is a dependable choice when silence is more important than maximum cooling performance, for example in a home-theatre PC or office. For a system with high heat output or when PWM speed control is required, a PWM-controlled fan may be a better alternative.
