Arctic Cooling Arctic F8 3-pin 80mm Case Fan

Arctic F8 3-pin 80mm Case Fan [18 in stock]
(2 customer reviews)		£2.40 (£2.88 inc. VAT)
 

“The ARCTIC F12 offers a nine-blade fan design, giving 20% higher airflow compared with a generic seven-blade case fan, as well as virtually inaudible operation thanks to the high quality fluid dynamic bearing and new impeller design.”

Impressive airflow improvement

The ARCTIC F8 integrates some delicate features to improve the overall airflow and noise control management. Most 80mm standard fans are equipped with seven blades only, but these come with nine blades in order to create higher airflow efficiently.

Moreover, the refined ninja-knife impeller design not only improves the laminar airflow, but it also lowers the noise level. Tested by hundreds of simulations, the results are significant, airflow is over 20% higher compared with a generic 7-blade case fan.

Higher airflow / higher noise level

Over the years, ARCTIC COOLING has built a reputable name on precise case fan engineering and noise control, and the new ARCTIC F8 is no exception. Despite the increase in airflow, the fans remain nearly inaudible thanks to the high-quality fluid dynamic bearing and the new impeller design. The maximum noise level is at only 0.4 sone. The ARCTIC F series is definitely a good option for anyone pursuing a quiet PC case cooling solution.

NEAR SILENT

I tested this with only my server switched on (which is a near silent machine) at the other end of the room - I still had to put my ear next to it to get an idea of how much noise it makes.

I'm less sure about the flow rate (it's not bad, but I tend to overtax my computer), however with the price and the low volume I could cope with using a few of these together. Very good value for money.

I CHANGED BACK TO MY OLD XILENCE FANS

I just upgraded my GPU cooler as it was over heating, and thought I'd also upgrade my case fans at the same time to help it out - and I rather wish I hadn't.

These definitely shift a LOT more air than my old Xilence Red Wing fans, but the downside is that they are CONSIDERABLY noisier too.

The manufacturers claim that the Xilence move 19.6CFM, and these move 28CFM, but my, (very unscientific) method of feeling the air shifted with my hand behind the fan suggests that the Arctic easily moves at least double the air of the Xilence.

However, the stated noise of 15db for the Xilence compared to 20db for these doesn't 'feel' right either. Just one Arctic F8 is FAR louder than all three of my Xilence Red Wings combined.

I had these in my case for about 15 minutes before swapping the Xilence ones back in.

If you really need good airflow then these are still better than the cheap generic junk that comes with most cases, but, if you're used to very quiet - then these aren't very
