What customers say
The Arctic P12 Pro Reverse Black fan excels by offering an outstanding balance of high static pressure and very low noise. Users highly value its ability to move significant air, making it perfect for restrictive areas like radiators. A key feature is the Reverse Black design, which ensures a clean aesthetic when used as an intake fan, as the attractive side faces inward. The Pro model justifies its name with robust build quality and convenient daisy chaining that simplifies cable management. Overall, this fan delivers premium performance and features, especially the reverse airflow capability, at a price point that establishes it as a superior value proposition for PC builders.
Know before you buy
Reverse airflow fans are designed to pull air through the back of the fan frame rather than the front. This allows you to mount the fans as intake at the rear or bottom of your case while keeping the aesthetically pleasing side visible.
Yes, these fans feature Arctic's PST (PWM Sharing Technology), which allows you to daisy-chain the fans together. You only need one PWM header on your motherboard to control the speed of all three fans.
Absolutely. With a high static pressure of 4.5 mmH2O, these fans are well-suited for pushing air through the dense fins of a liquid cooling radiator or a restrictive case filter.
The fans use standard 3-pin 5V A-RGB connectors, making them compatible with most motherboard lighting software like ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion.
While they are engineered for quiet operation using Fluid Dynamic Bearings, 3000 RPM is quite fast. You will hear audible airflow noise at full speed, but you can easily use your motherboard's PWM settings to create a custom fan curve that balances performance and silence for your specific needs.
The Fluid Dynamic Bearing reduces friction and vibration compared to standard sleeve bearings. This results in quieter operation and significantly extends the lifespan of the fan, which is why Arctic is able to offer a 6-year warranty.
