Cooling Arctic P9 fan series

Quick picture dump, as I just received the Arctic P9 Max, which was officially released on February 11th.

Gonna do tests with my current build, ie. as a CPU cooling fan (Thermalright Silver Soul 110).

Packaging and assets are classic Arctic, ie. just a card box, set of screws and the fan itself. Styling is similar to the "professional line", ie. server-/industrial focused fans, like the Arctic S8038.

Test results show, in the K77 Lite, with only a 120 mm slim exhaust fan on top, that the Arctic P9 Max is able to keep the CPU about 4° C cooler, both under full sustained load AND in idle!

Test results as follows:

Dual-Fan: NF-A9 + Arctic P9 Max, overall temp ~22° C (+0.8 than normal)

a) Idle:
- 36.2 C (tcl)
- 25.2 C (tccd1)
- 26.2 C (tccd2)

- nvme: 40.9 C / sensor 1: 34.9, sensor 2: 38,9 C

b) full sustained load (5 minutes)

- 73.2 C
- 72.8
- 69.1 C

- nvme: 49.9 / sensor1: 43.9 / sensor 2: 47.9

c) Full sustained load (10 Minutes):

- 73.5
- 73.2
- 70.0

- nvme: 53.9 / sensor1: 47.9 / sensor2: 49.9

d) 20 minutes:

- 72.9
- 72.8
- 69.5

- nvme: 54.9 / sensor1: 48.9 / sensor2: 50.9

e) CPU Cool down after 5 minutes:

- 38.5 C / 27.6 / 28.6 C

f) CPU Cool down after 10 minutes:

- 37.6 / 26.6 / 27.2 C

g) CPU cool down after 20 minutes:

- 37.1 / 26.7 / 26.8 C

h) Noise level:

At 75% fan power the P9 Max is approx 30% louder than the TL-B9W, but then the P9 Max also spins up to 4300 rpm, and would run at approx. 3220 rpm, while the TL-B9W would just spin at 1650 rpm.
