BeQuiet just blew my mind...

I was really impressed with the standard Silent Wings 4 on the DARK BASE PRO 901. I only need the stock fans to keep a 4090 FE and 5950X at 60-70C air cooled in gaming, its about the same or better than the Noctua fans I had on the PURE BASE 500DX. Granted I think the bigger case (and inverted) helps too, but it was a huge difference to the Pure Wings 2 included on the DX.

Why is the most expensive fan from BeQuite still not quiet? I bought three Arctic P12s and realized that I had made a mistake. Now I bought three PRO 4 and... nothing has changed. They also make noise and vibrate. As I understand it, fans that do not vibrate, do not make noise and do not go into resonant frequencies simply do not exist?

I got the normal Silent Wings 4 and Silent Wings 2. Really love the Silent wings 4, they're so quiet and that cable is godsend. Really easy to cable manage

in other words.....if you pay cheap for cheap things, be ready to endure low quality problems....such as poor durability, lack of customisation, bad looks, poor performance, noisy, high power consumption, etc.


in almost no scenarios, the low quality thing won't have any issues....if it really has nothing wrong for it's price, make sure to talk about it somewhere and let people know so they can avoid bad low quality things

when i say "things", i' not talking exclusively about pc hardware

The "ruffles" are also known as corrugation or serrations.. lol 😆 love that you call them that

The corect Calculation db SPL (sound pressure level) must be in 1 meter

*owns a core p3*💀

if only we coulld test a case to see were the air bleeds out from the most so we put aour exaust fans there

I just got 13 of these fans for my new build.. 9 120s and 4 140s..

BeQuiet has always been my go-to for radiator fans. The silent wings 3 was great. This new version seems even better!

I bought this because i have tinnitus. I also avoid RGBs because i am anti LGBTQ. I would have liked "be quiet" more if it was named "STFU".

Thank you for the review, now found my new case fans.
Hate all this RGB crap, it's a computer, not a disco or nightclub.

You bastard! I was at Costco when I was started to watch this, and my bt earbuds weren't connected😫

can you compare them with Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe-Series?

Be Quiet! and Noctua are two phenomenal brands when it comes to efficient, low-noise fans. Don't need this RGB thing. Two manufacturers that deliver quality and efficiency without having to "color" the PC.

Hugs from Brazil!

Please test Fan from PCcooler P120 Pro. Its Affordable price. 1850 rpm. Noise is 16 - 33 dB(A). Max airflow 71.8 CFM.

Want to know the performance. Because in anywhere, reviewer only review big brand (and expensive of course).

Useless

cringe

If I replace the fan on my Be Quite Shadow Rock 3 cpu cooler with the Silent Wings Pro 4, will it perform better?

Can wait for BeQuiet to make some real quite mechnical keyboards.

I bought the regular version not the pro and they also work great !!! Really wishing I would have got the pro instead though 😅

Nonsense

Love the SW3, replaced the shitty NZXT fans with them, will snag these for future builds.

You don't need to calculate the cone when you can measure it. Cover the smaller hole with tape to turn it into bowl. Put it on kitchen scale, zero it and weight the amount of water it holds. 1kg= 1L = 1000cm3.

Skip to 930

Can these fans have their airflow direction changed? I want some blowing air, and others sucking air.

I just strictly use noctua 🤣 I have a itx case so quiet but high speed fans are a must

I absolutely love those swappable pieces! Whew, for a few seconds there I thought these wouldn't be overpriced! Don't want that in the 21st century!

A Sharpie will take care of white writing. 😮

I am new to these kind of fans and I have been looking for fans for good airflow and I don't know what I should be looking for since I never got any case fans for my previous builds other than having a fan installed on the CPU,

I was thinking off going for a 3 fans configuration but I am just not sure which brand and size to get
the case I will be using is a fractal design R6 with a dark rock PRO 4 in it for the CPU

The Phanteks T30 are what I use on my 360 AIO and they are the best without a doubt

Fans are the base of my every build

Actually I don't like the plane propeller noise they make when running at anything else than the slowest settings. And Noctua fans are in fact immortal... I've had troubles in the past with bearings on the BeQuiet! models.

Trust what I'm about to say, I have 8 of them in my system.

Sexiest fans ever. Period. Plus, they're extremely sturdy. Not talking about the 300,000 h life span, but the material itself. My case's front filter (Nanoxia Deep Silence 2) for some obscure reasons, curved inwards when mounting these fans, so during a GPU overclock, with all my fans at full speed, one blade hit the plastic frame of the filter. One broken blade, strongest glue I could find drying up as we speak, and that's it. No deformation, no nothing. After plugging it out, I quickly turned it on to check it. Obviously, a slight wobble from the missing blade, but no strange noise, nothing else broken, nothing out of place. Such a clean break after coming from 3000 RPM to 0 literally in an instant speaks volumes.

In all honesty, hate me as you wish, but these guys are better than Noctua. Their airflow is second only to Noctua's Industrial lineup, while being quieter than the standard Noctua, and they have a softer, deeper sound that blends in instead of overpowering the room. And they're sturdier. And they have a better cable, with that grip for the plug. And they have a shiny black finish that screams "quality". And they have various corner mounts. I'm not denying the quality of Noctua fans, I'm just saying that theirs aren't the very best anymore. Okay, they have the legendary D15. That's a great heatsink with a decent fan. It's like saying that you made the best car platform in the world, but then you can maker a BMW 7 series out of it, or a Bentley Continental. The choice is yours. (By this analogy, I mean that D15's heatsink is the best, but strap the Pro 4's to any twin tower cooler and it will surpass it).

Does stacking 2 fans together make a difference?

Never heard of you... Jay whatever. . Sorry Man. I just found your channel of 3.5 million people, and I've been building systems since the 80's.

This is pretty much worthless information. Ambient Room temperature + CFM air to displace it will work. Who cares about fans as long as they can displace the heat! Who cares if Be Quiet or a comparative brand

I watch all of these videos constantly just to realize I can't even afford to build one

As a car dude myself I appreciate your analogies 😂

do both 140mm and 120mm fit most cases? - no idea how to tell which size are in my rig that im replacing..

Down with RGB!!!! Long live efficiency!

Did someone run out and buy up all the good 1200 watt psu's? be quiet 1200's, gone. Asus Thor 1200's, gone. Sure, Corsair has them, but I don't want a Corsair. So who is sitting on these and I'm buying.

It's probably not paracord, that's what's known as nylon multifiliment cable sleeving and it's specifically made for wiring. The braid is slightly expandable to make it easier to get it over wires and it's made in many more sizes than paracord. If you've ever been frustrated that you can't get the exact right size paracord for your wire look that stuff up it's a lot easier to work with.

First fan's I've seen that make me want to upgrade from the old 120mm Vantec Stealth fans I've been using since 2006. I was surprised to find they still make the exact same fan. Vantec never even bothered to update them to PWM but I guess people must still buy them.

I got them in my pc, and i dont even hear them. Once the gpu fans turn on its when i start to hear fan noice :p Also have them on my cpu cooler.

To bad my build is an all white theme. It would be nice to have those fans but they don't have a white version.

I'm looking for a comparison of the Pro 4 to the NF-A12x25. They're about the same price, and I actually have 4 of the 140mm Pro 4s. They are a crazy good quality product. The 120mms are sold out (or being scalped for stupid high prices) everywhere and I need 4 of them also. If the NF-A12x25 is as good or better then I'll grab those instead.
...though I kind of want all the fans in my case to match, haha. The PC I'm replacing with my newest build has 10 Noctua fans in it, counting the cooler fans, but I decided to care about looks in my newest build so the brown and tan isn't going to cut it, so I went with the Pro 4s.

I honestly dont care about how quiet fans are, as long as they provide the maximum air flow/pressure that my system needs for extreme temps. Made a custom heatsink a while back for my GPU, which was a dense rectangular block of aluminium fins and so I needed a fan that had impressive air pressure. Went with a single EK Vardar in a ducted shroud, kinda like server style cooling. @3000RPM, my RX6950XT would average around 40C - 50C under full gaming load.
