Arctic P8 Max High-Performance 80mm PWM Fan Review

Peter Donnell / 9 months ago

Performance

These fans are powerful. They may be small, but with speeds of up to 5000 RPM, they really can shift some seriously high airflow despite their size. 50% RPM managed to deliver 66.09 CFM and 100% was 105.25 CFM, which is about the same as an NZXT F120 RGB Core, a much larger fan, so pretty impressive really. The fan isn’t even as loud as I expected, and while it’s still pretty audible at lower RPM, it’s really not that bad compared to some 120mm and 140mm fans! The 100% speed is shockingly low at 44.8 dBa. I tested some 80mm fans on a server AIO a few weeks back and the fans were extremely loud, these are anything but.
