  A lot of noise no matter how hard you try to fix the curve. Nevertheless, with such a price, you can't have expectations.

  Quite fair and good for their price. The definition of VFM.
  I bought 5 individual 120mm fans (€4.90 each), as it was cheaper than the 5-pack.
  They were installed in 2 different computers for office use, and you can't hear them at all, nor do they affect the "calmness" of the office.
  The extension they provide is handy in case you don't have extra headers to connect more fans.
  Also, it seems that Arctic has changed the years of warranty, as the box in the photo shows 10 years here on Skroutz, but the one I uploaded and on their website for the same product it says 6 years.

  If you are looking for case fans, these here are a very good solution.

  I got 2 to replace initially a 140mm that I had at the back as an exhaust and broke, but also to put one up towards the back so that the air is directed back and up. So I added 2 120mm instead of one 140 and the difference in noise is noticeable. It's not enough noise to cause a problem, but before I would say that the computer was silent while now it's not. Apart from that, however, I haven't seen any problems so far (I have them for about two months), very good performance and the quality-price ratio is very good. For 5€ each that I paid, it is clearly a very good purchase and I highly recommend them.

  Update: I will say that since then I got another 2 for a second computer and recommended them to a friend of mine who also got 2 because his pre-built computer had no fans at all. In any case, I am still satisfied and I would like to mention another positive thing about them, which is the fact that they can be connected as a chain between them as they have a relative connector. My friend who had the prebuilt looking for information about his motherboard saw on the MSI website that it has 4 fan ports along with the CPU cooler but they mistakenly put the specs of another model (classic MSI). In reality, his motherboard has 2 ports and one was occupied by the cooler. So the chain connector saved us as he put both in the same port. Yes, he will not have control of each one separately now, but for one of the cheapest on the market it has it all... 4-pin, good quality AND chain capability. I still have mine and I have no complaints 10/10

  I have them for 1 year and they are fantastic even though they are cheap. I have 3 in the front to put and 1 in the back and 1 on top to take out. Very good flow.

  Για το κόστος τους τα ανεμιστηράκια είναι εξαιρετικά. Αν κάποιος θέλει ωμή δύναμη για να ψύξει τον υπολογιστή του τότε αυτά είναι αυτό που θέλει. Αν θέλεις και εμφάνιση με φωτάκια τότε κοίτα κάτι άλλο. Αθόρυβα, ποιοτικά και με pst σύνδεση και pwm.

  Whatever someone may say about these fans, it's not enough! Quality and reliability at a very good price! The only reason someone might not prefer them is the lack of lighting, which Arctic has taken care of by releasing a series with argb lighting!

  This review is about a variation of the product

  I installed four Cougar MX330 fans in my Gigabyte Aorus b450m motherboard (two in each system fan slot and then connected them in series using the special chain connection slot that the fans have). Now, the case cools better and is quieter than before.
  I found the quality of the fans to be very good. It impressed me that the case had "ten-year warranty" written on it, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind (you don't often come across such a long warranty for PC parts, especially at such low prices like this one). The cables were long enough for connecting them to my case.
  Now, the only thing I mainly hear is the airflow, which cools my system better. And even though there are four fans in total, they are quieter than the one pre-installed Cougar fan that the case had before. So, you can understand that their quality far exceeds their price value (5 euros on Skroutz in May 2021).

  I don't have previous experience with other well-known brands to have a more objective comparison, but if I consider that brands like Corsair, Noctua, etc. are sold at double or triple the price, then I can say that having personally experienced the silent, efficient, easy, and convenient multiple connection without the need for additional cables due to the integrated chain connection slot of the next fan, and guaranteed 10-year operation from a reputable company like Arctic, they are definitely worth the money and offer great value for money.

  Please note that PWM (4-pin) means that you can adjust the fan speed according to your preference or automatically based on cooling needs, unlike 3-pin connections that run continuously at full speed.
  The PST feature of Arctic means that the connection cable has an extra 4-pin female connector near the fan frame, allowing you to connect the next fan without needing additional ports on the motherboard or splitters.
  The letter "F" in front of the fan size (e.g., F12) means that it is designed for airflow, as it directs the air more concentrated in a specific direction compared to the other category with the letter "P" in front (e.g., P12), which stands for Static Pressure and is mainly used for cooling when there are obstacles or for heatsinks, directing the air more spread out.

  Also, if you want to install more fans and distribute the power more evenly in the cables, or if you don't have a PWM system fan header on your motherboard, the small leaflet inside the packaging box shows that you can connect the fans to the CPU fan header in series, with the CPU fan being the last one, which I assume will do the same job as long as you make sure it is a 4-pin slot.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  I have installed 3 of these on my PC, and put the PC in "Silent mode" (using Gigabyte's S.I.V.). Under light work conditions (programming), the temperatures range from 34-40oC, with the fans running at 20-25% (it has a curve that starts at 18% at 30oC, 25% at 40oC, 33% at 50oC, and 100% at 60oC). During gaming with a 1660Ti, the fan speeds increase but it is reasonable.

  If you don't play games, using your computer's PWM will save you from the noise!

  I tried it today, as soon as I installed it and heard the noise, I was ready to take it off.. However, after searching, I found that it runs at full speed constantly by default, even though it doesn't need to.. But there is a BIOS setting.

  Conclusion: It is worth the money and more

  You can cool your system with a sum of money by purchasing a Noctua fan. They are extremely efficient and affordable. If you are nitpicky about noise and don't want to hear even the slightest sound (you can't even call it noise), then you should go for something higher-end!

  It makes a liiiittle bit of noise, which you can get used to, it's not something tragic.
  But for some people it might be somewhat annoying.
  (Even in mild use where it doesn't operate loudly, it can be heard in a relatively quiet room)

  This review is about a variation of the product

  Based on their price, they are the best one can buy today. If you are not willing to spend triple the amount for each fan, choose the Arctic F12-F14 PWM. They are very efficient, relatively quiet, and their speed can be controlled/adjusted through the BIOS (only PWM models). Even if you have double the money, you will struggle to find better performance with the same noise level. (For example, the BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 have similar performance and noise level). If cost is not an issue and you are willing to spend four times the money, then the equivalent model of the Noctua NF-S12A PWM offers better performance with less noise and excellent build quality.

  I have set up two (4-FAN setup) systems, one with Noctua and the other with Arctic fans. The Arctic fans cost 20 euros for one PC, while the Noctua fans cost 80 euros for the other. I have effective cooling in both systems, with the noise from the Arctic fans being noticeable but not annoying in any way. However, the computer with the Noctua fans is the quietest system you will ever hear (if you manage to hear it because it is literally silent).

  I bought a BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 as a test to set up a completely silent system, but I noticed that it has the same performance/level of noise as the Arctic F12, and I couldn't justify to myself the double price of the BeQuiet. So, I went for the Noctua fans, which have four times the price but unmatched build quality and features.

  I really wonder why this company hasn't closed yet! It's like we're stealing from them. I have bought over 15-20 of these specific fans and not a single one has broken, even after 10 years. They are also completely silent. The only issue I overlook because of the price is that they have a short cable, so you will need a 4-PIN PWM EXTENSION, which costs a maximum of 3 euros. Don't look for anything else if you like it visually. It also has a cable for connecting another fan on top of it.

  The best Value for money Case Fan.
  Quality, quiet and effective. The ability to connect the fans in series (PST) solves many problems.
  They could have a slightly longer cable...
  It is not pressure optimized, so it is not ideal for coolers, but only for the case. There is the P series for these cases.

  Very good choice for its price. I bought 4 today and they work perfectly. There is a big difference from the stock fans that the case had (HAF 932), which were good but not enough at 700 RPM and with the high ambient temperatures we have now. I replaced 2 230x30 fans of the case with these 120mm ones (I installed 3) and they are perfect. They run at full speed (1400 RPM) and you can't hear them AT ALL!

  I have bought two of these and I have placed them in the front part of my case (Aerocool qs-240) to intake the cool air. For the past 6 months that I have been using them, they have been working silently with very good performance and cooling, and they seem reliable since they have a 10-year warranty. They are just what you need for any system you have. Get them, don't hesitate to buy them. They will not disappoint you.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  Something basic that I didn't see anyone mentioning and I had as a question before buying them, for those who want to buy them. PST means that besides the simple 4-pin female cable that plugs into the motherboard and powers the fan, it also has an additional 4-pin male (the same as the motherboard) so you can connect the next fan on it. So you don't need a splitter. For example, if you want to install 4 fans but only have one fan header on the motherboard, you need 3 Arctic F12 PWM PST and one regular Arctic F12 PWM. You connect them like this: "Fan header -> Arctic F12 PWM PST -> Arctic F12 PWM PST -> Arctic F12 PWM PST -> Arctic F12 PWM". As for the other characteristics, they are worth the money.

  I don't argue that for its price it is the best, I have 1 - 120mm and 3 - 140mm of these in an NZXT 340 ELITE case and I am very satisfied! Also, the blades take on the color of the LED strip or any LED you have! After 1000RPM they make a little noise but it's not annoying, it creates pretty good airflow... I highly recommend it, choose this specific model (PWM PST) because Arctic produces many similar external fans.

  5 euros for a fan that will cool your system and provide good airflow. What can I say, you can really fill your case with these without emptying your wallet. Personally, I think they are also very nice looking, as I generally like white :p. Lastly, I would like to add that the fans are 4-pin, so someone can adjust their speed.

  Good evening... I bought 2 of these to have better airflow and more silence... They are very well made and made of sturdy materials, beautiful in every way... but... I can adjust them through the BIOS and I have set them to silent, so they automatically adjust to 1005 rpm... they make quite a bit of noise at 1005 rpm, especially if you have 2 in the front of the case... through the BIOS, you can also do it manually, which allows you to control how fast they run instead of the PC automatically... unfortunately, I set it to 0.75 pwm, the rpm was at 985 and I could still hear them loudly... for anyone who wants quiet fans, especially 2 of these, I would not recommend it... nevertheless, they provide very good airflow, I noticed a big difference in my temperatures compared to the stock Intel cooling...!

  I have 2 case fans. They are easily adjustable through the BIOS. At 950rpm they are quiet with relatively good air flow. At 1350 rpm they become a bit noisy but with very good air flow.
  At a price close to €4.5, they are great.
