🌟 Elevate Your Cooling Game!
The ARCTICS8038-10K is a high-performance server fan designed for optimal cooling efficiency. With a compact size of 80x80x38 mm, it operates at speeds ranging from 500 to 10,000 RPM, ensuring a perfect balance between airflow and noise. Its durable ball bearing design enhances longevity, while the fan's impressive static pressure of 51 mmH₂O and maximum airflow of 173.30 m³/h make it suitable for various applications, including CPU and radiator cooling. The fan features a standard 4-pin connector and a flexible 30 cm cable for easy installation in 2U server cases.

Moves a ton of air
This moves a ton of air. I hooked it up to a 12V power supply and it does draw right about 1.1A in free air. The amp draw goes up considerably when its fighting back pressure, so the motor is plenty powerful to maintain high air flow even when restricted. It's loud, but you knew that already if you're looking for fans in this category.It comes with a little sticker to cover up the inner fan blades for use in "dusty environments". I would be curious to know how critical the airflow over the motor windings are. I assume the dust is worse for the bearings than the temperature increase would affect the motor.

Moves a Ton of Air... but it's loud!
I cannot fault the fan for being noisy since it does not claim to be a quiet fan, and even at low speeds this moves a lot of air, but it there is a distinct whine that gets under my skin. Some people might not be bothered by it, but it is a deal breaker for me since the server is in a place that makes the noise ever present. If your server is in a place where you do not have to worry about noise, then I highly recommend this.

Feel the wind!
First off this fan is loud at max speed.That isn't a negative. I expected that as much. I needed a fan that can really push some air. Sound isn't a concern. This fan really delivered. It pushes great amount of airflow for your application. The sound is what I expected of it. You can however add this to a fan speed controller to mitigate some of that sound.

Does its job very well
It's loud, powerful, and does what it's meant to do. The build is solid and strong.

Far better than anticipated
These fans are definitely better than I expected. The noise and power curve at the ear and wall are far better than many 80x38mm alternatives. I’ve been on the hunt for a high static pressure solution in this size range and these fans seem to be the best I’ve come across to date. I’ll be coming back for dozens more in the next few weeks.

They blow hard!
These blow! 2/10 would not recommend sticking your sausage in it. My server finally sounds like it is working hard with how much these succ!Overall 6.9/10.
