Thank you for this! My son got a new graphics card that extends over the edge of one of the fans, and of course the fan prevented the card from being inserted properly. We were considering this Arctic fan, but after seeing this we may go with the Thermalright one instead.

Nice review! I have always used my slim fans as top exhaust, with the RPM set at no more than 50% just to assist in evacuating warm air. I have used the Noctua A12x15, ID-Cooling 12015 XT, Scythe Kaze Flex and the Corsair AF120 Elite Slim. All so far have performed well. I could see using the Noctua or Corsair fans on air coolers or top-mounted AIOs for RAM/VRM heatsink clearance.

I only got it to put at the bottom of my old case. Where a a normal size fan is too thick to give way for the PSU cords. Gets the job done. Positive pressure in my case.

I have two of these in my SFF PC and I love their performance and PST.

Nice, honest review! Considering Arctic generally has some good fans they seemed to have come up short with this one. Wonder why? Shouldn't a company try to produce a better product than their last one?

Thank you. Not sure myself, I had heard some not great things about the P12 Slim. Which seems to be true based on my results. My best guess is they're just trying to fill the product stack, because I've tested the P14 slim and it is a GOOD fan slim or not.

Has a large gap as well between blade and ring
