ARCTIC P12 Silent 120 mm Fan
The ARCTIC P12 Silent is a 120 mm case fan designed for pressure-optimised cooling. It suits builders who need efficient airflow through heatsinks or radiators in a desktop computer. The fan runs at a fixed speed of 1050 RPM and uses a 3-pin connector for power and speed monitoring.
Simple 3-pin installation
Installation requires connecting the 3-pin header to a compatible motherboard or fan controller. The motor and bearing were developed in Germany to reduce friction, keeping noise very low at 0.08 Sone. A common issue is that 3-pin fans cannot use PWM speed control, so the fan runs at full speed unless the motherboard supports voltage regulation.
Ideal for quiet radiator builds
This fan suits users who prioritise low noise and static pressure on radiators or dense heatsinks. It delivers 24.1 CFM or 40.95 m³/h at 1050 RPM. Buyers who need variable speed control via PWM or higher maximum airflow for unrestricted case ventilation should look at other models.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the fan is spinning at the correct 1050 RPM after installation?
The fan runs at a fixed 1050 RPM and produces 24.1 CFM of airflow with a noise level of 0.08 Sone. You can verify the speed in your BIOS or fan control software and listen for the virtually silent motor during operation.
What is included with the fan and what extra cables might I need?
The 120 mm case fan comes with a 3-pin connector for power and speed reporting. If your motherboard only has 4-pin PWM headers, the fan will still run at full speed but you will not have PWM control.
Is the 1050 RPM version the right choice for a radiator or heatsink?
Yes, this model is optimised for static pressure, making it especially effective on heatsinks and radiators where air resistance is higher. The pressure-optimised blades deliver 40.95 m³/h airflow through restrictive components.
