Over the years, I’ve read several anecdotes from users about the humming issues being less prevalent on these models, but so far no reviews from anyone with the necessary expertise and equipment look into it in more depth.

This means that the airflow loss due to obstacle resistance is smaller with the P12 than with the P120. Thus there is a considerable cross-sectional area covered by the blades, so that the airflow does not decrease excessively even if the fan is operating on restrictive obstacles.In any case, it is once again a 120 mm fan that will be taking the top ranks in comparison tests with its performance characteristics. So on the face of it, the rotor looks the same, as long as the illustrations on Arctic’s current web site are consistent with it.

but for the sake of a standard case fan, you simply screw in with the four screws provided making sure it faces in the direction you want the air to flow.The motor is powered by a Neodym-Iron-Boron-Magnet ring of the newest generation, which allows the new P12 PWM PST CO to run much more efficiently than its predecessors. The side effect is that the blade geometry of the BioniX P120 A-RGB does not achieve the same pronounced tonal peaks as the P12.

It is hard to say how the characteristics of the P12 would change if a rotor made of LCP were used while maintaining the same geometry.And one addendum for the discerning reader who will scroll through the comments here and there and might ask the same question as one of the readers of this article in another language. However, the distance to the corresponding connector is increased so that cable management won’t be as easy.

Consequently, there is no need for rubber spacers due to the steady and smooth torque of the new motor.

However, it is not only a choice between light (P12 Max White) and dark (P12 Max Black), but also between different types of bearings, fluid dynamic and ball ones. Interesting, I could not notice that the A-RGB and regular version of the P120 has different rotor shapes. You will find further information in the privacy settings, where you can also change your selection at any time. One of the differences from the BioniX P120 A-RGB that is also good to notice when judging the results is the smaller offset of the rotor from the frame. It’s only at the level of really fine detail that you’ll find that the P12 has slightly looser manufacturing tolerances than Arctic fans with a similar rotor.
