Hi mate, just wondering what you think of the Arctic F12 fans? I'm thinking buying adding to/replacing my case fans. Gonna chuck 2 at the bottom of the case, one up the top and maybe replace the extraction fan at the back.
Just wondering how loud they get and if they push a decent amount of air?
Oh also, I notice that they have blue LEDs, is that right or did you mod them somehow?
@rohaninabout The blue LEDs are from the NZXT fans as well as the fan controller. The F12 fans are pretty decent and aren't really that loud when they are maxed out and move a lot of air when its on highest RPM. They aren't very loud but it is noticeable if you are in a quiet room. They are PWM controlled so it can change the speed automatically according to the temps.
@TunaFish359 Thanks for that. I'm thinking of getting these (F12's), Scythe S-Flex or Scythe Kamas. The Scythes are about $30 more than the F12's, just wondering what you think I should go for?
@rohaninabout Yeah, i thought about that too, but I don't think 30 dollars for fans is justifiable, so i went with the 8 dollar F12 which aren't too bad. But the scythes will definately be better but i don't think 30 dollars is justifiable.
@ksidornseif They're relatively average but they are kind of short, I don't think they will reach if you try to go around the back in a full tower, cause it barely reached in my mid tower.
are you using this arctic cooling f12 pwm if so can you tell me how the pwm speed sharing actually works, as on their website they make no mentioning of how it actually functions ? presumably it has daisy chained connectors which the other fans go into ?, I know your using a fan controller but i want to make a couple more of my fans bios temp controlled as I have a system 4pin pwm fan header i want to run all the fans off.
@beingatliberty The pwm feature is a 4 pin connector that connects to the 4 pin on the motherboard and this allows the fan to be controlled depending on the temps of the other components. each fan can connect to multiple 4 pins or 3 pins. you can run a multiple fans from the 4 pin.
@HenkAnnieNaald Its hooked up to the fan controller on the NZXT Lexa S. When all the fans are at the lowest settings, the CPU idles under 40C. It varies from 300 - 1350RPM if you let the PWM control it.

How long are the cables on your PSU? I might get it but I heard they were short...

hi
is there a software i can install that will monitor how hot my computers gets?

@hyylo Yeah, there are tons. I recommend "Hardware Monitor" which is what I use but other programs are PC Wizard, Real Temp, SpeedFan, etc.

What do you think about that F12 PWM fan? Is it quiet?
HenkAnnieNaald 1 year ago
@HenkAnnieNaald It's pretty quiet, it's a little noisy when its on full power. But it's got great value too, I got them for only $8 each.

@TunaFish359 Did you put the fan on automatic control or manual. If automatic, when your CPU is idle how much rpm is it running?
