Overview

All the know-how of Arctic for your PC


This high-performance case fan combines all the know-how that Arctic is known for: quality components, advanced functions, cutting-edge technology and unbeatable prices.


PWM temperature control


The PWM function allows the motherboard to automatically control and adjust the fan speed according to the load and temperature of your computer, ensuring the best possible cooling while minimising noise.


PST Smart Synchronisation


Fitting several fans in your computer will usually result in more efficient cooling. But what's the point if they don't all work together? The PST function allows you to synchronise the different ventilation systems in your machine (case fans, processor fans, RAM fans, etc.) to optimise their use.


Optimised design for maximum efficiency


The shape of the fan blades is the result of years of research and experience by Arctic engineers and is specially designed to optimise airflow and facilitate ventilation, while keeping noise levels to a minimum.

The fan can also be used as a fresh air extractor or hot air extractor.


Designed for continuous operation


This CO (Continuous Operations) version incorporates high quality components. The Japanese designed double ball bearing system ensures reliability and allows for intensive and continuous use, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the ideal choice for servers and other hardcore gamers' machines that are intended to run every day.

Main features:

  • Case fan
  • Can be used to either draw fresh air into the case or to extract heat from it
  • PWM function for automatic regulation of the speed (and therefore the noise) depending on the heat detected in the case
  • PST function to synchronise the different fans in the system to optimise performance
  • CO (Continuous Operations) version integrating a double Japanese ball bearing system of very high quality, perfectly adapted for intensive use 24/7 (servers...)
  • 4-pin power connector
Information provided by our tech department PWM and PST functions require a compatible motherboard.

    Fully satisfactory fan

    I bought this fan to put on the back of my case which has a fan slot but no fan supplied. I tested both directions (inward and outward airflow) and finally it is the outward airflow that best reduces the temperature at the motherboard (which was my problem in the first place).

    The fan is quiet and its speed is automatically adapted by the motherboard (you have to set it in PWM mode in the BIOS).

    Very good

    Very good.
    Great for cooling the CPU a bit more and avoiding too much dust; nothing to say

    Quality at a low price.

    From the moment I unpacked it, the weight of the fan in the palm of my hand, you can feel the quality of the product. I mounted it on a CPU heatsink to push the air into a cone to extract it from the case. The silence is perfect. You can only hear the sound of the air blowing out.
    A plus: a male and a female plug in parallel that allow to couple several fans.
    I recommend this product.

    Good ventilation/noise ratio

    I put six of these fans in my LIAN-LI large tower case (10 year old case with only 80mm slots).
    The PWM function varies the speed from 1800 to 2800rpm depending on the heat detected by the motherboard sensors.
    The CPUs (two XEON E5-2695v2 twelve cores at 2.8GHz) gain 5°C in temperature when running at 100% load.
