Thermaltake ToughFan 12

ToughFan 12 Pro und ToughFan 14 Pro sind die neuen Spitzenmodelle unter den Thermaltake-Lüftern. Sie sollen robuste High-Performance-Modelle für Enthusiasten sein. Im Test wollen wir herausfinden, wie leistungsstark sie wirklich sind.

I had reviewed the original Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12 after the Phanteks T30-120 and found that it would probably have received a more positive review had things been swapped around. This time with the new TOUGHFAN 12 Pro, it ends up doing a similar thing for the Lian Li UNI FAN P28. In fact, if you go read the conclusion of that review now, you will notice it has been updated to reflect the availability of something that is, in my opinion, a better offering for the money. The TOUGHFAN 12 Pro released just after I had submitted that review and, had I already had both fans together when testing, I would have been less enthusiastic about the Lian Li offering. This is primarily because Thermaltake has finally got to a point where it can compete favorably with all other performance-oriented fans aimed at the consumer PC business. The older TOUGHFAN 12 got close but had some bearing noise at lower fan speeds and also required running at higher fan speeds to really show its strengths. With the new TOUGHFAN 12 Pro, things are already chart-topping at lower fan speeds and continue to be extremely impressive all the way up to the rated 2000 RPM. We get a long RPM response range, which also happens to be extremely linear for easy control. You can also just use the provided low noise cable accessory if you want to just power multiple fans directly from a powered splitter connected to your PSU and not have things be loud. Add to that the minimal sample variation tested among three randomly chosen retail samples plus the 5-year warranty and things are looking very good in terms of having a reliable cooling solution that will give you an excellent performance/noise balance for years. A price of $25/fan is nothing to scoff at, yet this ends up being the least expensive of the LCP fans tested here, which are all great performers and amazing for watercooling. The cost has not increased from the previous TOUGHFAN 12 despite there being marked improvements in a lot of different places. I do wish the 2-pack version still cost the same $40 that the older 2-pack did, but $45 is still not crazy considering there are some fans on the market that cost that much, if not more, per fan. Ideally I'd want to see Thermaltake provide a 3-pack SKU for, say, $60-65 and maybe we'll also see some special color editions too as before. The bottom line is the new TOUGHFAN 12 Pro with its nice combination of performance, price, aesthetics, and case compatibility ends up being my new top choice for watercooling fans.

Heute sehen wir uns auf OCinside.de die brandneuen Thermaltake ToughFan 12 Racing Green und Thermaltake ToughFan 12 Turquoise Lüfter an und zeigen im aktuellen Test auch wieder eine 360 Grad Ansicht. Bei den ToughFan 12 handelt es sich um 120mm Lüfter aus dem Hause Thermaltake, die einen hohen statischen Druck erzeugen und dabei angenehm leise bleiben. Wir konnten uns bereits kürzlich in einem ausführlichen Thermaltake ToughFan 12 Test von der Performance überzeugen und heute bringt Thermaltake sogar noch Farbe ins Gehäuse!

Heute haben wir auf OCinside.de die neuen Thermaltake ToughFan 12 High Static Pressure Radiator Lüfter getestet. Bei den ToughFan 12 handelt es sich um 120mm Lüfter aus dem Hause Thermaltake, die einen hohen statischen Druck erzeugen und dabei dennoch angenehm leise bleiben. Die Thermaltake ToughFan Lüfter Serie ist sowohl für Wasserkühlungen, als auch für Luftkühler oder als Gehäuselüfter einsetzbar und wir werden im Test sehen, wie leise und gut sie wirklich sind.

We take a look at the brand new Thermaltake ToughFan 12 Racing Green and Thermaltake ToughFan 12 Turquoise fans and again show a 360 degree view in the latest review on OCinside.de. The ToughFan 12 are 120mm fans from Thermaltake that generate a high static pressure while remaining pleasantly quiet. We were recently able to convince ourselves of the performance in a detailed Thermaltake ToughFan 12 review and now Thermaltake even brings color into the case!

Today on OCinside we have tested the new Thermaltake ToughFan 12 High Static Pressure Radiator Fan. The ToughFan 12 are 120mm fans from Thermaltake that generate high static pressure while still remaining pleasantly quiet. The Thermaltake ToughFan fan series can be used for water cooling, as well as for air coolers or as a case fan and we will see in the test how silent and good they really are.

With the recent release of the Toughfan 12 radiator fans, it seemed pretty clear that Thermaltake was going for an exceptionally no-nonsense professional design here. No RGB, no flashing lights, just straight-up performance from a fan designed to do just one thing. Move air quickly, efficiently, and quietly. Ok… three things!

The Thermaltake Toughfan 12 is a high static pressure fan that will meet your cooling needs. The High static pressure will allow you to put this fan in places other fans would struggle. With the Rigid design and 2nd generation hydraulic bearing you can be assured this fan is built to last.

Although the Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12 RGB fan kit is not inexpensive, it is still undoubtedly one of the best all-around cooling solutions currently available on the market. They offer all the professional high-performance cooling you would expect from the TOUGHPOWER branding with some new RGB lighting effects that not only look stunning but also offer some of the best levels of functionality around. – To me, they offer the perfect marriage of style and substance which, quite frankly, has me more than a little tempted into fitting them on my own PC right now.
