But performance is not the only category in which Arctic can make their Fans shine. With a 9-12€ Pricetag (depending on the exact version), the Fans are also priced very competitively. The P14 PWM PST's managed to outperform the other Fans by a small margin, letting the CPU settle at 61°C.
The temperature measurements are given as a delta in Kelvin. This means that the difference to the room temperature was measured here. So, with a delta of 35 K and a room temperature of 22°C, you have to add them up and you end up with a temperature of 57°C of the measured part. The best and worstresults (and those in the tolerance range) are marked in color. As the Benchmark showed, 140mm Fans do not necessarily mean that you will have a better Cooling Performance in your Build. But generally, 140mm Fans do push more air, just like the P14 push 30% more than the P12. Therefore, you can make the Fans spin slower, making your Build quieter, without losing any performance. So for anybody that is looking to build a new Build, if your case offers 140mm Support, you should definitely take 140's into consideration. Because the P14's are aimed at the Performance-only market, we will also cease to let their design affect our Review. According to the technical specifications, these fans emit 0.3 sone, which corresponds to about 24 dBA and is precisely the measurement we have obtained. As you can see, even at high speed (1,900 RPM is not little and more in the case of 140 mm fans) the noise emitted is quite low, although higher than that emitted by other models such as the Light Wings from be quiet! since these only work at 1,500 RPM. Just like the Arctic's P12 Fans, the P14 demonstrated their impressive Performance. While benchmarking, the P14s outperformed every fan that we have an enlarged their lead, even more, when we made the fans spin slower.While the F14 Series is Airflow optimized, it spins way slower (1350 RPM) and produces way less air pressure, but can push a lot of air for such a slow-spinning fan. And in fact, our dB-meter and the Audio Recording of our Benchmarking both confirmed that there is absolutely no difference between having Anti-Vibration-Pads and not. (Or we unable to, no matter how loud we played the audio recordings) In this test, purely in terms of performance, the Arctic F14 and the Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 are the winners. Here, however, the Arctic fans are much quieter. The other three fans in the test are somewhat weaker in terms of performance, but they perform quite similarly. The Arctic P14s still work a bit quieter. Test at 31 dB(A) We have to admit that, of all the fans with lighting that we have tested to date, these have the most intense lighting (at the same level as the CORSAIR HD) and beautiful, very homogeneous at the same time. In bright conditions it looks perfectly, but with the light completely off they look impressive.
The Rest of this review focuses only on the P14 PWM PST fan, but you can expect the exact same results from the P14 PWM (as the only difference is the Daisy Chain). At 50%P PWM speed, the P14's demonstrated their dominance with a CPU Temperature of 75°C, making them the winner in this competition by 6°C. Impressive. Of course, when we let the board control the speed of the fans, they gave us a data of only 17.7 dBA, but we have to say that the fans were off so the noise captured was basically from the rest of the components. from the test equipment or ambient noise from the room, which was completely silent.Just as we expected to see the arrangement and shape of its five fins, these fans do not generate much airflow and, in fact, only exceed those of be quiet! because they work at a higher speed (in fact you can see that at 1,000 RPM they are the ones that generate the least air flow). All in all, their 2mm / H2O static pressure is the highest of the fans we’ve tested and as such makes them ideal when installed in radiators or boxes that are heavily restricted to airflow. conclusion At a first glance, the Arctic P14 Lineup may be overwhelming, but we will try to make it as clear as possible. Arctic's Lineup of 140mm Case Fans is grouped into 2 big Product Lines, the P14Series & the F14 Series. times more intensity than 70 dBA. It can damage the eardrums if it is exposed for more than 8 hours.
Sometimes the volume is less relevant and it’s all about the maximum achievable performance. That’s what this test is. Image As we have said before, these fans can be connected in a chain and, therefore, an ARGB hub is not necessary as we saw for example in the Light Wings from be quiet! Therefore, the installation is quite simple both in the box and in the radiator, although it is true that as we have mentioned before the channeling of the cables is not so simple since they exit from different areas. Eight times more intensity than 70 dBA. Maintaining this level for 8 hours causes damage to the eardrums. In short, we may not be facing the best fans on the market in terms of performance, but we are facing some of the quietest (and with semi-passive operation) and with the best lighting that we can find. At first, we assumed that this was one of the reasons why these Fans could be so cheap, but upon investigation, it turned out to be a feature.We start with loudness, for which we have used a Protmex PPM-SM001 sound level meter at an exact distance of 50 centimeters from the fans, just enough for the measurement to be given in dBA. We have made two measurements: one with the speed configured in PWM so that it is the board that dictates how they should work (this would be a real scenario of how most users would have them configured) and another at their maximum speed, with the following result : In all the anchors (on both sides) we have rubber inserts that will help reduce vibrations when the fan is running, and thus also the noise generated. The P14 Series is pressure optimized, meaning that the Air that the P14 Fan is pushing has a higher pressure, resulting in a better passthrough if the direction it blows is restricted, like by a Radiator or Filter. Sure, there is no RGB or any other extra Feature. But the P14's are aimed at the raw Performance market, therefore it would be unfair to treat them like any other "Nice-looking-shiny" Fan.
P14 / F14 PWM PST => Has a PWN Connection + a Daisy Chain Connection to hook multiple Fans to one Fan HeaderP14 / F14 PWM PST CO => Has a PWM Connection + Daisy Chain Connection + Build for Constant Operation The unboxing experience of the P14 PWM PST Fans is exactly the same as for Arctic's P12 Fans. The box is quite right, has decent quality, and the Look & Feel seems to be alright for the Type of Quality-Product that we are expecting to find. We are now going to see what air flow these Arctic fans deliver, and for this we have used a Holdpeak HP-866A anemometer. Again we have taken two data, one with the fan speed set to exactly 1,000 RPM and another at its maximum speed, in this case 1,900 RPM. After Unboxing the Fans, we immediately noticed that there were no "Anti-Vibration" Pads to be found. The real benefit of using 140mm instead of 120mm Case Fans appears when you make both Fans spin slower.
