Well .. I thought I'd do an update after having the new Arctic P12 and F12 + a 230mm BitFenix Spectre PRO for a week or so.
I'm very happy with them, they do feel a little cheap compared to my Corsair ones, and it would have been nice to have the vibration damping corners, but all in all they are performing very well ... definitely a marked improvement over my old Corsair 120's.
Temperatures measured after my CPU and after my GPU sit at around 27c at idle with the fans at 39% (861 Rpm) and at full load the out temps rarely go over 34c and with my current fan curve they never actually get to 100% power, so i'm pretty happy with that !!
And i have no issue with whining noises so all good there too !
And the BitFenix in conjunction with the F12's push a shed load more air through the case so case temps are half a degree higher than room temp on idle and only 2-3c higher at full load !
So the P/F 12's + the BitFenix definitely get my vote !
Cheers
Damian
