Blades, hub—everywhere there are features disrupting an otherwise smooth design. This kind of detailing defines the HAVN H12 at first glance—and the second impression is just as striking. With the kind of geometry the H12 brings to the table, reaching the absolute top tier is possible. In practice, however, it’s essential to find the right scenarios and fine-tune the right settings to end up truly satisfied.

* When reading performance metrics, always account for a certain tolerance. For maximum RPM, a ±10% variance is typically noted, while minimum RPM can vary significantly from unit to unit—sometimes manufacturers even allow for ±50%. This must also be properly factored into airflow, static pressure, and noise level values. If a table cell lists only one value, it always refers to a situation at maximum RPM achieved at 12 V or 100% PWM duty cycle. The lower performance limits are not disclosed by the manufacturer in such cases. The price in the final column is always indicative only.
** Price is calculated per unit, but the fan is not sold individually. It is only available as part of a three-pack that also includes an ARGB hub.
