Fan Arctic P8 Max 2Ball Fan 80mm 500-5000rpm - ACFAN00286A

Arctic P8 Max 2Ball is an 80 mm case fan aimed at people looking for serious airflow in small spaces. With a speed of 500 to 5000 RPM and a maximum airflow of 40 CFM, this fan is designed to push air even through denser filters and radiators. The dual-ball bearing 2 Ball Bearing ensures long life and stable operation at high speeds. The black design without RGB makes it ideal for simpler or industrial configurations.

What you get

With a range of 500–5000 RPM, you can set the fan from nearly silent mode to aggressive cooling under serious load. The maximum static pressure of 5.3 mmH2O means that the fan performs well if you have dense front panels, dust filters, or radiators in front of it. With an airflow of 40 CFM for the 80 mm size, you get serious air movement in compact cases, NAS devices, or HTPCs. The noise level of 20.6 dBA is relatively low for this class, especially at lower speeds, where the fan will be almost unnoticeable. The 4-pin connector gives you PWM control through the motherboard, so you can tie the speeds to the temperature of the CPU, GPU, or overall temperature in the case.

• The standard size 80 mm is suitable for compact cases, server chassis, and older cases where there is no room for larger fans.
• The 2 Ball Bearing bearing construction is more durable at high speeds and vertical mounting, which is important for 24/7 machines.
• The wide range of 500–5000 RPM allows flexible control – from quiet mode at idle to aggressive cooling under load.
• An airflow of 40 CFM for an 80 mm fan helps effectively expel warm air from the case or push it through dense areas.
• Maximum static pressure of 5.3 mmH2O makes the fan suitable for operation behind filters, grilles, and denser panels.
• Noise level of 20.6 dBA allows for a relatively quiet build, especially if you set an aggressive curve only at high temperatures.
• 4-pin PWM connector and standard 12 V power supply facilitate integration with most modern motherboards.
• Long warranty of 72 months shows confidence in the durability of the bearing and motor.

Who it is suitable for

This fan is a good choice if you are building a compact system, small server, home NAS, or looking for reliable cooling for an older case with 80 mm positions. It is also suitable for people who want PWM control and are okay sacrificing a bit of silence at maximum speeds in the name of cooling. If you are looking for a completely silent build with oversized fans and low RPM, it is better to look towards larger sizes.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of high maximum RPM, 5.3 mmH2O static pressure, and 2 Ball Bearing bearing, making it a stable and long-term solution for serious cooling in a small space.
