Introduction

Arctic Cooling was kind enough to send one of their coolest items, the F12 Pro. While it is indeed a fan, it is not your ordinary fan. There is no standard fan enclosure here, this fan is suspended on its chasis by rubber. That means you get a quiet fan that is extremely efficient.

"It all started on a beautiful summer day at the lakeside of Zurich where Magnus Huber founded this company and has continuously embraced the idea of "Spirit of Innovation". For ARCTIC, innovations are meaningless unless it brings more pleasant experiences for people. We strongly believe that these experiences need to be "unexpected" in order for people to remember them. Therefore, we are really celebrating PLEASANT SURPRISES with everyone." Source: Arctic Cooling

Arctic Cooling is best known for their quiet designs that still pack a punch, lets take a look at the specs of the fan to see if that still holds true.

We'll testing the Arctic Cooling F12 Pro fan using my older system, which consists of the following components ... Core2 e2160 Processor, Asus P5Q-LE motherboard, Thermaltake Big Typhoon Heatsink, MSI X1300 Pro video card and a Generic Case. Let's how low my temperatures can get using this fan.
