ID-Cooling AT-120-K: Ring below blade tips?

The first ID-Cooling fan in our database, and it immediately features one unconventional element—the blade ring is positioned differently than usual. Its placement bellow the blade tips is typical of high-speed fans, and the AT-120-K model indeed spins at very high speeds. Despite that, it can also be significantly slowed down while maintaining attractive cooling efficiency even at lower noise levels. And all of this comes at an attractive price point.

Results: Static pressure, efficiency depending on orientation

Explanatory note: The orientation of the impeller can affect the resulting static pressure. In these graphs, we examine the ratio between the “pull” and “push” configurations, effectively producing a coefficient. A value greater than 1.00 indicates that the fan produces higher static pressure when pulling. Conversely, a value below 1.00 means it performs better when pushing. In some cases, the ratio is balanced and close to unity.

Arctic BioniX P14 A-RGB: Elegant daisy chaining is just the beginning

High cooling efficiency is the foundation, but with the BioniX P14 A-RGB fans, Arctic has also made efforts on other fronts. In addition to the clever daisy-chaining method (with the aim of reducing cabling to a minimum), this includes, for example, illumination as intense as possible. The light is guided not only through the entire impeller, but also through the surface of the frame, from the side. There are light guides in these areas as well.

Arctic BioniX P12 A-RGB: Efficient, inexpensive, illuminated and…

And with very clever daisy‑chaining from one fan to the next. This is what can fill in the ellipsis in the headline. The aerodynamic efficiency remains top‑tier, built on a design that Arctic revised some time ago (with the P12 Pro fans), but which can still be considered “new.” The BioniX P12 A‑RGB fans certainly are (new), and in this in‑depth analysis we focus on how they work.

ID-Cooling AM-120-K: Bet on an Elegant Geometry

It has exactly the elements that make an inexpensive fan aerodynamically efficient and acoustically unobtrusive. Or rather, not too obtrusive—at least at lower, non‑high speeds. At higher speeds, every fan is “noisy,” but making a low‑cost fan that can still be described as pleasant to the ear is already something of a feat. We can, however, state that ID‑Cooling has achieved this with the AM‑120‑K model. Read more “ID-Cooling AM-120-K: Bet on an Elegant Geometry” »
