Arctic Fan F12 PWM PST (black) - 120mm/230-1350rpm - ACFAN00200A

Arctic Fan F12 PWM PST (black) is a 120 mm case fan aimed at budget and well-balanced configurations where you seek decent airflow without excessive noise. It operates up to 1350 RPM and provides up to 53 CFM airflow, which is more than enough for a standard mid-range gaming or office build. The model features a 4 PIN connector for PWM control, so you can easily adjust the profiles through BIOS or software. The black design and lack of RGB make it a clean and unobtrusive choice for any case.

What you get

This fan has a size of 120 x 120 x 25 mm, which is the most common standard for cases and radiators, so the chance of compatibility is maximized. With an airflow of 53 CFM / 90.1 m3/h, you can use it for both intake of fresh air from the front and exhaust of warm air from the top or back. The noise level of 22.5 dBA at full speed is suitable for a quiet system – in idle at lower PWM profile speeds, it practically “hides” in the background. The dynamic fluid bearing is a plus for long-term reliability and less vibration compared to cheap sleeve bearings. At 0.24 A and 2.88 W at 12 V, the load on the power supply and motherboard is minimal, even if you install several such fans in the system.

• Standard size 120 mm (120 x 120 x 25 mm), which fits most modern cases and radiator positions.
• Maximum speed up to 1350 RPM, providing a good balance between cooling and noise.
• Airflow of 53 CFM / 90.1 m3/h, suitable for improving overall ventilation in the case.
• Low noise level of 22.5 dBA, which helps keep the system quiet even under prolonged load.
• Dynamic fluid bearing for longer life and smoother operation compared to basic bearings.
• 4 PIN connector for PWM control, allowing automatic speed control based on temperature.
• Low consumption – only 0.24 A and 2.88 W at 12 V, which is trouble-free for any standard fan header.
• Black color without RGB, if you are looking for a clean look without lights.
• Long warranty of 72 months, which is a serious plus for such an affordable component.

Who is this fan suitable for?

This Arctic Fan F12 PWM PST is a good choice if you are building a budget or mid-range gaming PC and want stable airflow without investing in expensive “show” fans with RGB. It is also suitable for quiet office machines or home servers, where reliability and low noise are more important than appearance. If you are aiming for aggressive overclocking and extreme cooling, you may need higher speeds and stronger airflow.

In summary, the combination of 53 CFM, 22.5 dBA, dynamic fluid bearing, and the long 72-month warranty make this fan a practical and sensible choice for reliable and quiet case cooling.
