The P8 Max is a powerful fan with 500 to 5000 rpm. The fan delivers a static pressure of 5.3 mmH2O and generates an airflow of up to 40 cfm. It offers precise control of the fan speed via pulse width modulation (PWM) and is extremely efficient at 0.19 A. The P8 Max is ideal for 2U server racks, which often require a high airflow to effectively dissipate heat. In addition, it has a 0 dB mode for silent operation in IDLE.
Virtually Silent due Fluid Dynamic Bearing
As a special feature, the P8 Max is equipped with ARCTIC's proven Fluid Dynamic Bearing*. This enables the virtually silent operation at low speeds that customers have been asking for. At maximum speed, brute performance is still guaranteed. Although these bearings tend to wear out, ARCTIC does not compromise on durability and still offers the 6-year promise.
*All P8 Max fans sold from ARCTIC are now equipped with Fluid Dynamic Bearing. Please note that products from resellers may still be sold with dual ball bearing.
Extremely Wide Speed Range
The P8 Max enables precise fan speed (500 to 5000 rpm) via pulse width modulation control, which can be adapted to the individual cooling requirements. The P8 Max enables silent operation when only a low airflow is required and provides a high performance level if needed.
Optimised for High Static Pressure
The P8 Max delivers a focused airflow and assures a good airflow even with particularly high static pressure. Therefore, the P8 Max is also specially suitable for use on heat sinks, radiators, pinholes and filters.
0dB Mode - Zero rpm
The speed of the fan can be throttled down to a standstill via PWM. This allows silent operation in IDLE and at the same time assures maximum performance when required. This enables the P8 Max to be extremely flexible in adjusting the speed to optimally regulate the airflow for every case.
Low Power Consumption
The P8 Max is distinguished by its extremely high efficiency. At a speed of 3000 rpm and a voltage of 12 volts, it requires only 0.669 watts, which corresponds to a current of 0.06 amps.
Optimal for 2U Server Rack
Server cases such as 2U racks usually have a high component density, which means a high airflow is needed to effectively dissipate heat. A high static pressure capacity is therefore important to direct the airflow through the tight ducts inside the case. The P8 Max is ideal for 2U rack cases with 2-height units.
