Arctic P8 Max 8mm PWM Case Fan [ACFAN00286A]

The Arctic P8 Max (ACFAN00286A) is a high-performance 80 mm PWM fan engineered for tight spaces like SFF cases or server racks. With a massive 500–5000 RPM range and high static pressure, it delivers air up to 40 CFM with up to 5.3 mmH₂O pressure—all with low noise when throttled via PWM. Built on a long-life dual/ hydrodynamic bearing, it's backed by Arctic’s 6-year warranty.

 

Wide Speed Range (500–5000 RPM) - PWM-controlled from 500 RPM (near silent or 0 RPM below ~5%) up to 5000 RPM, allowing flexible thermal tuning based on load.

 

 

High Static Pressure & Airflow - Capable of 40 CFM (~68 m³/h) airflow and 5.3 mmH₂O static pressure, making it ideal for radiators, dense heatsinks, tight mesh filters, and airflow-restricted chassis.

 

 

Quiet Fluid Dynamic Bearing with 0 dB Idle Mode - Uses Arctic’s fluid dynamic (dual ball) bearing for low friction and long life (MTTF ~500,000 h). Fans can completely stop under low PWM for silent operation at idle.

 

 

Compact 80 × 80 × 25 mm Form & Excellent Build Value - Lightweight (84 g), standard-frame fan with a 40 cm 4‑pin PWM cable. Includes mounting screws and is known for strong value—priced around US $6–9. Backed by a 6‑year warranty.
