be quiet! Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed - Fan Noise

[@HD-nv9ru]

Where u went ? No making videos ? I just bought 5 of this fans just because of this video … do more 💪🏻👍🏻

[@Irina32600]

Even better than silent wings 3 or pure wings 2 in some ways, I think this fan is probably the best product they've made. I have purchased a 140mm High speed for my case as an air intake. I am quite satisfied with the quietness and performance, but the high price is not satisfactory. (sorry my english is not very good)

[@ydihtty]

Your English is great :)

[@FoxRiddler]

Amazing testing!!! VERY VERY HELPFUL BEST AMONG THE FANS ON MARKET!!!

[@GrumpiestKitten]

Very quiet at high rpm but definitely more resonant than the low speed version. I hope the Silent Wings 4 will adopt a similar square frame design.

[@Ladioz]

They are quiet until 850 rpm. More than that it will make frequency humming. Also it's enough speed. Nobody needs 1000-1500 rpm case fans

[@TheEthNick]

Impressive on all fronts! Wooshy without much motor noise/resonance, high RPM & low noise. Plus a nice RGB ring on both sides. Now that you have handy, comparable stats, will you be taking requests to revisit some prior tested fans to see how they stack up with noise etc. 😏 Also, do you have a leaderboard of the top 5 fans, or even a singular 'benchmark' (tipping a Noctua?) so we can see how close each competitor comes to it? Might be an interesting reference to put in your description. Edit...Great to see others finding these tests useful. Channel's getting more & more informative 👍

[@ydihtty]

I will contiue revisiting older fans, I was planning on redoing the Deepcool RF120 next. There is a chance of the bearing being in worse shape with redoing older fans though. But yes I will take requests for this. I could do a leaderboard, but I think it might be better to name some top picks for specific categories, a bit like what rtings.com does.

[@TheEthNick]

@@ydihtty Ooh in that case, how about the Arctic Bionix P120 argb & the P12 0dB argb? 🙏🏼

[@ydihtty]

@@TheEthNick Aren't they both the same thing? Do you mean maybe the P12 ARGB?

[@TheEthNick]

@@ydihtty That’s what I meant mate. Autocorrect may’ve got me there 😖

That was a mad test well done 👍

thanks for all the videos you make!

Yessss thank u thank u so so much

Thnxz just bought my 3 pack

[@lyndajones1133]

how they working out?

More likes to support for the testing of Lian li UL120 video

[@ydihtty]

I will do it soon. Next week I will be away from home, but after that I'll try to make an order.

[@Kenyeong23]

@@ydihtty nice one bro , looking forward to it ~

[@mrmrgaming]

They seem to hit a hum around 1100..1200 like some Artic fans. I was going to move from Deepcool 120cf plus, which ticks every box bar the noise at higher rpm, but worried the light wings have that hum I hate.

[@briangrant9942]

it's not that bad I can hardly hear it plus I wear headphones anyways so I'm not going to hear that in a air flow close pc case I mean this test was done in the open so.

[@lyndajones1133]

yep its def aggravating to the brain, returning mine i just ordered because of it.

[@mrmrgaming]

@@lyndajones1133 Great fans, but only if you max them to 1000 or make them jump from 1000 to 1300 lol

[@lyndajones1133]

@@mrmrgaming oh word im sure i can sidestep that via workarounds. might keep as intake if thats doable, might look into it. alas. good times around the bend....ing light. although personally im extremely sensitive to sounds, and i use high impedance headphones which might make a difference in what's audible. cheers

[@DigitalAdvanZ]

Nice, can you try with the fan mount to the radiator also ? I want to know will it be noisy when it comes with the turbulence

[@xxprojessexx8838]

HI sir You can try the Be quiet 140mm Pure Wings AND Be quiet 140mm Silent Wings That would be great

[@ydihtty]

I think they will sound similar to their 120mm equivalents, but it would be interesting to see anyway. Added to the list

[@ezioaugustus2621]

Wish you had a video to compare this to the Corsair RGB fans or the Lian Li ones.

[@ydihtty]

Any specific models you want to see? I have done the Corsair SP120 RGB Elite, but I haven't done any Lian Li fans yet. The trouble with some of the Lian Li fans is that they seem to only come in 3-packs which I would rather avoid, since I only want 1 of each fan.

[@ezioaugustus2621]

@@ydihtty Lian-Li UNI FAN AL120 and the Corsair LL Series LL120 RGB

[@Shyvorix]

@@ydihtty The Lian Li UNI both SL and AL come in single fan and 3 pack. As for Corsair would love to see the new ML120 and ML 140 Elite's.

[@ydihtty]

@@Shyvorix I ordered ML120 Elite already, they should be here in a few days. I haven't orders any Lian Li fans yet though, I will do them later.

[@Shyvorix]

@@ydihtty nice nice :D hope to see the content soon enough! Keep up the good work!

[@DennisBLee]

impressive!

[@KiriakosVids]

How would you compare this fan to arctic's p12 pwm pst argb? How do they stack up in performance, noise, build quality, and lastly rgb-looks.

[@ydihtty]

I think the Arctic is probably better overall, including each of those aspects, except build quality which is good on both of them. The Arctic suffers from a bit of resonance compared to this, but it's not too bad at all. Looks is very subjective, I like the look of both but I prefer the look of the Arctic I think.

[@roadtonever]

​@@ydihtty Can you suggest a Arctic P12 alternative to someone that's sensitive to the resonance?

[@briangrant9942]

I can tell you the arctic's p14 argb are better than p12 for performance and low noise that's on 100% pwm temp. but the be quiet light wings 120/140 pwm high speed they are neck to neck with p14 argb.

[@jclgaming34]

i have theis case and cooler and fans and oh it quiet i bought a 2 pack of 2 140m highspeeds to go up the top let me know if u want me to do a video of the fans for you i could include a startup

[@darkreap3r969]

If you would go for one Ring type fan out of the Light Wings, the Arctic BioniX ARGB and the Alpenföhn Wing Boost, which would you go for? (as case intake/outtake fans, not gonna run them above 1100-1200 RPM)

[@ydihtty]

For intake, its probably through a filter or a mesh, and the focus of the airflow matters more, so probably the Light Wings high-speed or Arctic Bionix. For exhaust, I would use the Alpenfohn or the standard Light Wings.

[@BrickDiver01]

Right on the money, I took the risk and got the Alpenfohn and the Light wings HS both in 140mm. Light wings are 1000x better at intake especially through a mesh panel. The light wings pretty much push air through the entirety of my case.

[@darkreap3r969]

@@BrickDiver01 ye, in the end, i went for the Light Wings too, but the 120mm non HS ones. They are very quiet, even at higher RPMs and they keep my stuff very cool too. Very happy with them.

[@Tylenol888]

How many cfm is this fan?

[@Morpheus-pt3wq]

Quite a lot of growling noise, which is surprising.

[@mikelsaezdeeguilaz386]

Sweet spot of the fans?

[@Ladioz]

600 rpm

[@Alphyx_]

have you tried the uni fan SL120? if so, how do you compare them to these?

[@ydihtty]

I haven't tried it yet. I have the AL120 though, and I think the Be Quiet probably has a better blade/aero design, but the AL120 isn't too bad and has really good looks.

[@Alphyx_]

Ok, thanks

[@ghostalgic901]

What's the difference between the high speed version and the normal version? Which one should I use in my case and which one should I use in my cpu air cooler? If somebody knows the answer I would appreciate if you could share it :)

[@ydihtty]

I would probably use the normal one in the case and the high speed on the air cooler, although the normal one would probably be fine on the air cooler too

[@ОлегИванов-в9щ]

Отлично, а можно на 140?

[@mrjuiceee9264]

I can’t believe somebody told me Corsair had a better fan than this😂

[@ydihtty]

I personally think the SP120 Elite and probably the AF120 Elite are better designs, but those are quite new and much better than Corsair's previous designs.

[@williamtopping]

@@ydihtty AF120 elite are garbage. Speaking as an owner who wants rid. Put the video of them and this side by side. normalise the volumes and hear for yourself! The corsair have awful resonence when you either increase the speed or decrease it. And they have terrible motor noise

[@manssupar]

Damn at 2000rpm its still give low noise.

[@romandulce999]

I have 3 of those. They are unusable at high speed... I regret getting them...

[@angelalmalaq]

the best are the bequit! light win g good than arctic and noctua abour sound !!!!!!!!! in 1500 rpm ! awsome

[@AquilaeYT]

So this is a copy of Arctic bad motor noise, unusable.

[@echillytime7320]

U are really can't hear this ugly humming noise, to much resonance every 200 rpm? Guys its without case btw, i have silent wings 4 they are much better. I'm tired of them, have to use static rpm, pwm = noise
