Finally got rid of the loudest component in my PC: The original fans of my KFA 2070 Super (lemmy.world)

Went with the Arctic P12 Max because they are incredible for their price. Went with the white version because it has better bearings making it even more quite. Didnt care how it looked but it actually doesnt look bad at all imo

Edit: Got a reply from Arctic on Twitter. Apparently the new revision of the black P12 Max also use a fluid dynamic bearing (the better one). If you want to go with the black ones, always check the description I guess

How are the bearings better in the white version?

Honestly I have not read much about the new max fans, I have a ton of 10+ year old p/f12s I would like to replace though.

The max fans are great. The black one has been out for a while now with a lot of positive reviews but it uses ball bearings which have a tendency to be a bit louder (it's still incredible given its price. See reviews) The white one was just recently released and Arctic gave it an upgrade with a fluid dynamic bearing, further reducing the noise during low rpm

Thanks for the info, I probably would have never even looked at the white version otherwise.

These are a much needed replacement for the clicking fans in my nas lol

Just got a reply from Arctic via Twitter and they said that the new revision of the black P12 max also use a fluid dynamic bearing. Idk how to make sure you get the new revision though
