P8 Max

Used to replace my CPU cooling fan. It runs so slow with such little noise that I had to keep checking to make sure it was running. It speeds up when needed but it's still really quite and provides good airflow to keep everything within its proper heat range. Good price for a nice quality fan.

Nice and quite with good flow at various speeds. I used this on a garage stereo project. Imaging this.....A custom wooden box with vents in the bottom and at the top sides. This fan is fitted in a fabricated air intake frame, pulling air from the bottom and blowing it up on the Kenwood stereo heatsinks and Fosi amp. Also in the box is the Fosi amp PS and a 120V to 12v transformer. I hooked up a 4 pin speed controller, so the speed of the fan could be tuned down slightly. It flows air so well, it if probably only running at 1/2 capacity.

Fan itself is fine. Quiet. Does what I need it to do. But do yourself a favor and do NOT use the screws that come with it. I started using the screws and removed them because they were easily stripping out. Replaced three with better screws I had. One I can’t remove at all now because it was so easily stripped with me trying to remove it. It’s like they mixed the metal with butter or something.

This is a great little fan. I got it to keep my ram cool and it does it's job splendidly. It can get loud at 100%, but I don't have a reason to have it that high. I currently have it at 50%, and you can hear it a bit at that level, but not much. Playing around with it, you can get it whisper quite at around 30-40%, and at that level it is still very effective. No complaints.

Super silent, almost impossible to hear while working. I don't have a professional tool to measure airflow, but with my hand in front of the PC, I can feel the hot air being pulled out.

I needed a front fan for a Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF that could push a decent amount of air into the chassis due to a overheating Graphic card. This little ARCTIC P8 Max does a good job and are cooling the whole system to a new level. At lower speed the fan is pretty silent, but a 3000+ RPM this get a bit noisy, but still good value for the price.

I installed this fan as an emergency replacement for a damaged OEM CPU fan in a Dell Inspiron 3471 running an i9-9900 processor. My concerns going in were whether the Dell BIOS embedded controller would accept a third party fan signal — it did without any issues. Passed POST on first boot with no fan errors thrown. Performance has been impressive. CPU temperatures are sitting at 40°C under gaming load with a maximum of 46°C during extended sessions running demanding titles like Pragmata and Marvel Rivals. The fan is currently running at around 3,300-4,400 RPM under load and the Dell EC is reading and controlling it correctly via PWM. Installation was straightforward — fit the existing Dell shroud without modification. The 4-pin PWM connector is compatible with Dell's proprietary fan header. For anyone trying to replace a Dell OEM CPU fan on a budget and worried about BIOS compatibility — this fan works. Solid build quality, effective cooling, and plug and play compatible with Dell's embedded controller firmware. Verified Purchase Use Case: CPU fan replacement in Dell Inspiron 3471 with i9-9900

Arctic fans are good quality, quiet. The "max" fan is 4 wire, allowing control by the motherboard. I also bought a 3 wire fan. Since this specific fan is mounted in the front of the case, I decided to use the 3 wire fan -- it runs continuously. I will use this "Max" 4-wire fan elsewhere.

Pression statique (le critère n°1 pour moi sur mon projet) ≈ 5,3 mmH₂O, donc très puissant. Je le mets à 60%. Il est très silencieux a cette vitesse. Si vous le mettez à 100% il fera du bruit (très supportable), mais on ne lui demande pas d'être silencieux mais puissant et il fait le job!

I chose this over the quieter version as it had a more similar airflow performance at full speed to the OEM CPU fan in my Dell Optiplex. Very glad I did, as it can keep temperatures below thermal throttling levels while being far, far quieter than the original fan. At idle or while doing basic tasks like browsing or office work, it’s all but silent - certainly quieter than a HDD. And during intensive work like encoding or gaming, it’s about 50% quieter. A great upgrade.

Did the job for me.

Ho installato nel mio pc la ventola ARCTIC P8 Max e devo dire che sono rimasto davvero colpito dalle sue prestazioni! Questa ventola da 80 mm è perfetta per chi cerca un equilibrio tra potenza e silenziosità. La possibilità di controllarla tramite PWM, con una gamma di giri che va da 500 a 5000, è fantastica. Una delle caratteristiche che ho apprezzato di più è la modalità 0dB: quando il sistema è a basse temperature, la ventola si spegne completamente, il che è un grande vantaggio per chi ama un ambiente di lavoro silenzioso. Quando il PC inizia a scaldare, la ventola si attiva e fornisce un flusso d'aria potente e efficace, nonostante le sue dimensioni compatte. Inoltre, la possibilità di programmare la ventola sia dal BIOS che tramite l'applicazione del produttore della scheda madre rende tutto molto semplice e personalizzabile. In sintesi, l'ARCTIC P8 Max è una scelta eccellente per chi cerca una ventola ad alte prestazioni che non comprometta il silenzio quando non è necessaria. La consiglio vivamente!

Ventilador de 80mm con excelente rendimiento y control de velocidad amplio, ideal para cajas de PC y servidores. Funciona de manera silenciosa en bajas revoluciones y ofrece una gran potencia de refrigeración cuando se necesita. La opción de modo 0dB es un plus para reducir el ruido cuando no se requiere ventilación activa. Construcción sólida y materiales de calidad. Muy recomendable para mejorar la refrigeración del equipo.
