The new White Edition of the P14 Max expands the portfolio of white components and gives PC enthusiasts and modding fans even more options for customizing their systems. The P14 Max (White) is a powerhouse for the highest demands. Thanks to ARCTIC's Fluid Dynamic Bearing and a wide range of speeds between 400 and 2800 rpm, it runs ultra-silent at low speeds and delivers maximum power at full speed. The integrated 0 dB function ensures that the fan stops completely at less than 3% PWM. Like the other P-Max models, the high-speed fan impresses with a focused air flow and is ideal as a case fan and on heat sinks and radiators.

ARCTIC has even more in store: The range of products includes a wide selection of white fan and cooler options, including various 120 mm and 140 mm models with and without A-RGB lighting, as well as CPU air and water coolers, including the entire Liquid Freezer III series.



Features
Extremely Wide Speed Range
Building up on the success of the P14 PWM, the P14 Max extends the controllable speed to an impressively wide range from 400 rpm up to 2800 rpm. This enables a quiet operation when low airflow is needed and also an unprecedented level of performance on heatsinks and radiators. The P14 Max provides a significant performance boost to existing air and water cooling solutions.

Maximum Performance - Without Compromises
The P14 Max delivers focused airflow and high static pressure, making it suitable for all scenarios. The fan is optimised for use on radiators, heat sinks, pinholes and mesh. Therefore, the P14 Max is the ideal fan for enthusiasts and professionals who are looking for maximum performance with a long service life.

0 dB Mode - Zero rpm
The fan speed can be throttled down to standstill via PWM. This allows silent operation in IDLE and at the same time guarantees maximum performance when required. Thus, the P14 Max allows an incomparably dynamic adjustment of the speed, so that the airflow can be perfectly regulated for every case.

Improved Stability
The P14 Max features a closed fan wheel design. The advantage of this fan wheel combination is a pressure stability without compromise. In scenarios with high pressure resistances and higher speeds, the force effect is distributed uniformly over the entire fan wheel and enables low-vibration rotation while maintaining high static pressure.

Maximum Smoothness, Minimum Vibration
Even at low speeds the operating sound of the new ARCTIC motor is barely noticeable. Due to a sinus-magnetizing the new motor only creates about 5 % of the vibration from commutation of a regular DC-motor without filter. The rubber pads mounted at the corners additionally dampen the residual vibrations caused by the higher revolutions.

Virtually Silent due Fluid Dynamic Bearing
As a special feature, the P14 Max is equipped with ARCTIC's proven Hydrodynamic 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 warranty.

Quality You Can Rely On
To ensure the longevity of our products, we carry out long-term tests under different, sometimes very adverse conditions. In this way, we learn how we can permanently improve our products for our customers. In addition, the excellent results of long-term testing give us the assurance that our products are not only outstanding in terms of quality, but also in terms of durability. This is a certainty that we are happy to pass on to our customers, which is why we give a 6-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Availability
The new P14 Max (White) is now available on the ARCTIC Webshop as well as Amazon, eBay and selected partners with €18.99 MSRP.

With these high speed fans, it would be nice if manufacturers would give details on Static Pressure, dB & Airflow at 50% as well as 100% since dB & cfm are not linear measurements. Very few people will run these fans at 2800rpm unless they're sitting in a home server room.

50% at 1400rpm is a more reasonable speed to expect most people to run these at, and is roughly the top speed of normal speed 140mm fans.

Also a bit weird that they don't actually list the dB anywhere on their high speed fans, guessing they're unreasonably loud.

Arctic's P12 and P14 (max) fans measure really well in most test results you can find online. The high max speed doesn't really matter since it's going to be controlled by PWM anyways, and manufacturer measurements don't really matter since there is no standardized testing method.
