In Operation Around the Clock

ARCTIC is expanding its range of fans for servers and workstations. In addition to the 40 mm and 80 mm models, two powerful 120 mm versions with different speed ranges are now also available. The S12038 fans offer an excellent combination of cooling performance, durability and energy efficiency.

The importance of energy efficiency in data centers is growing worldwide and increasingly becoming the focus of legislators. Since this year, operators have had to publish their energy consumption. In the future, guidelines for sustainability and energy efficiency are also expected. The use of the S12038 server fans helps to reduce energy consumption.

Exceptionally energy-efficient thanks to motor optimization

For the same performance, the S12038-8K consumes 22 % less than the next best competitor, improving the energy efficiency of the server.

Test Setup

Fan on Freezer 4U heat sink on 500 W heating element; fan speed set so that the temperature of the heating element is constantly 20 °C above the ambient temperature.

The new 120 mm fans are available in two versions: the 4K version with 600 to 4000 rpm and the 8K version with 800 to 8000 rpm. This wide range – optionally PWM or voltage-controlled – makes it possible to adapt the fans to the specific requirements of different server and workstation setups. With their high static pressure and powerful airflow, they are the ideal all-rounders for demanding server environments and are suitable for use as both radiator and rack fans for server cases from 3U.

Equipped with high-quality double ball bearings, the S12038 guarantee a long service life and high reliability. This makes them the ideal choice for 24/7 operation in data centers and server rooms.

Availability

The new 120 mm server fans are now available on the ARCTIC Webshop as well as Amazon, eBay and selected partners.
