Arctic Cooling 120mm F12 TC Fan

The ARCTIC F TC (Temperature Control Fan) is a case fan that regulates itself by signaling an appropriate fan speed to provide optimal air ventilation within a PC case. This technology incorporates a fan controller on board – users can simply plug-and-use without adjusting BIOS system since the fan is able to run by itself.

Main feaures • 40cm long temperature sensor for accurate fan speed control • Cable can be positioned in wherever necessary • Extremely quiet  • High airflow and static pressure  • Low noise impeller • Fluid dynamic bearing extends service life

The Sensor Cable in ARCTIC F TC Fan
The new ARCTIC F TC Fan features a temperature sensor cable to detect internal temperature and regulate fan speed automatically. The relationship between the detected temperature and fan speed is positively correlated – the warmer the temperature, the faster the fan speed would turn. With a 40cm long intelligent sensor probe, it is very flexible for users to attach it to anywhere that can accurately detect the internal case temperature.

The ARCTIC F TC Fan is connected with a three-pin connector and is available in three standard sizes: 80mm, 92mm and 120mm. Its mounting frame is 25mm thick with screw holes on both sides, which can be mounted in both ways for blowing or extracting air in the computer case. This offers great flexibility for users to install it as an intake or outtake fan.

As depicted in the diagram, when the ambient temperature is below 32°C, the fan speed remains relatively stable at its minimum spinning rate, 500 RPM. This speed gives adequate ventilation at lowest noise level. The steep curve signifies that when the detected temperature reaches above 32°C, the fan speed rapidly increases to 2000 RPM to provide immediate cooling. Since it is optimal to keep case temperature between 30°C to 38°C, the temperature controller signals the fan and reduces the heat drastically when it reaches above the critical range.

The Blades
The ARCTIC F TC Fan is equipped with nine blades to efficiently create higher airflow inside a computer case. This refined “ninja-knife” design improves laminar air flow while reducing noise level at the same time. The nine-blade fans have proven to operate at 20% higher efficiency than regular seven-blade ones as it can increase airflow rate and remain nearly inaudible at most times.

Since the ARCTIC F TC Fan incorporates the technology of sensor cable and a two-way mountable frame, it is a flexible and ultimate cooling solution with efficient cooling performance at a minimum noise level. The ARCTIC F TC Fan can certainly improve computer case ventilation system entirely and effectively.
