Arctic cooling are a relatively young company having only been round for about 9 years. However they made a big impact when they first started trading with some excellent quiet cooling procucts. Indeed is used their early Copper Silent series on the Duron and Athlon XP systems I set up when I first started getting into PC system building. The one important factor I always remembered was that they were incredibly affordable whilst providing decent ‘quiet’ performance.
Since those early coolers the company expanded to include affordable performance coolers, affordable aftermarket GPU coolers, thermal pastes and case fans. In fact they have now expanded confidently into the power supply, case, audio and peripheral markets with much more to come I’m sure!

120mm case fans are the bread and butter of today's PC market. Pretty much everyone needs them for either case cooling or simply to mount on their large CPU heatsinks.
Today we have been given Arctic Cooling’s F12 Pro case fan for testing. It’s a design that fully encompasses the ethos of the company.
