All three fans are supplied in white-coloured cardboard boxes which differ only in size. Despite the small size of the boxes, Arctic have packed in a whole host of information about the fans inside alongside a large picture of the fan on the front.
The accessory bundle included with the fans is very limited, consisting only of four screws and an Arctic Cooling sticker. It would have been nice to see some anti-vibration rubber fan mounts included.
Like other Arctic products we’ve reviewed in the past, all the fans have a black and white colour scheme. Arctic certainly aren’t pushing any design boundaries with the TC range of fans, opting for a standard blade and housing design.
The speed of each fan is controlled by a temperature sensor which can be placed anywhere in the chassis, providing the 40cm cable will reach there. They run at the lowest speed up to 32c and then will increase rapidly when the temperature increases over this, reaching a maximum at 38c. All three fans are powered via a standard 3-pin header.
The F8 TC 80mm fan spins between 500 and 2000rpm depending on temperature. The F9 TC 92mm fan spins between 400 and 1800rpm and the F12 120mm fan spins between 300 and 1350rpm.
