This fan stands out visually thanks to its seven additional blades in the center, creating a fan-within-a-fan effect. It offers unrivaled static pressure in its class, although Arctic doesn&#039;t seem to be too keen on advertising its new model that much.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28425\" src=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"Cooler Arctic S12038 a cooler for another cooler\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-470x470.jpg 470w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/719hmBN4x8L._SL1500_-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>The S12038&#039;s spec sheet is really impressive in several aspects. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/en\/disable-performance-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1500\">energy consumption<\/a> advertised at maximum load is 3.96W, which is 12% less than its closest competitor in the server category.<\/p>\n<p>It generates an astonishing static pressure of 11.45 mmH\u2082O, which is between 3 and 6 times greater than that of conventional <a href=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/en\/raspberry-pi-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"60\">fans<\/a> Arctic&#039;s standard box.

Extra blades in the centre of the impeller help to cool the shaft, providing a <a href=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/en\/geforce-rtx-3050-analisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1503\">temperature<\/a> engine temperature 5-10 degrees Celsius lower than stated in Arctic press materials (Arctic press documents do not agree on this figure).<\/p>\n<p>Arctic claims that this additional shaft cooling helps double the effective lifespan of the fan.
