If you're using an AIO or want a radiator fan, change the fans to Phanteks T30 because they do outperform both the A12 and SW4 if you use it for that task. However do NOT use the T30s as a case fan; you'll be overpaying and they're not that great when there's little to no obstruction. If you want similar performance but cheaper, get Arctic P14s or Arctic P12 ARGBs. Do not get the basic arctic P12s, you should be looking at Fractal Aspect, SickleFlows or Kaze Flex instead.

[@JosskiyChelik]

be quiet! is a over price company that steals people's money for nothing.

[@cdl1701]

I think they change the RPM between the fan sizes is due to tip speeds. They want to maintain a tip speed within a certain range, if a 140mm fan had the same 3000 RPM of the 120MM on the high setting would be a difference of 3.2m/s of tip speed.

[@LordHyren]

Nah. Both sizes use identical hub motors. So the larger blade area has more drag and therefore lower rpm

[@shadowlord0162]

@@LordHyren correct

[@stinkycheese804]

@@LordHyren Yeah, but it's only out of cheapness to not offer a second hub size.

[@stinkycheese804]

To minimize noise, yes a certain tip speed has to be constrained, yet most of the noise comes from the turbulence of moving the air against local obstructions. The other replies were correct that at a given fan coil strength, it will just spin slower with a higher load from larger blades. Ultimately it is not so scientific, they just make fans that are cost optimized to reap more profit but also perform well without sinking to sub-par materials (bearings, blade material, and balancing). Lastly, it's just inherent that to hit the broad audience, the larger the fan blade, the less RPM it takes to move *enough* air at the target noise level. The blade RPM slowdown is due to moving more air so it fairly equals out.

Yeah, pretty happy with the Silent Wings 2 140s that came with my BeQuiet! case. They also mount these awesome fans in their PSUs - absolute legends! The only problem I've had so far with any BeQuiet product was that one of the Silent Wings 2 fans started rattling, but then I put the case somewhere else and the rattle is gone? Now all that's left is an occasional rattle from the mesh in the front of my case. They could've added some padding there...

[@VEN0M415]

One feature I miss was the one on my Fractal Venturi fans, putting a 140mm fan on a 120 mount sometimes actually worked really well on some cases I build. This looks really nice but that hub looks pretty chunky so I wonder how that would affect AIOs performance?

[@LEXXIUS]

I assume, the hub size wouldn't be a problem, like with the Noctua A12x25.

[@tonikeller5928]

Please never compare them.... If you want brutal pressure and doesn`t care about dbA, then you can also use the NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM - only 5dbA more. This one also increase the airflow from 140m³/h to over 180m³/h with an increased static airpressure of ~30% (or 2mm/H²O more). But why you are in need of it - Noctua add an rubber sealant (can be additional install from side of the customer) which minimize the loss of the static pressure and airflow. :edit: the design of the blades looks nice, but hard to clean. The dust likes the structure and stay there.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

@@tonikeller5928 so what you're saying is that for 30% more pressure and 20% more flow rate, you can have fans that are approximately twice as loud, because that's about the difference 5db makes. It's a logarithmic scale, not a linear one, which means that power levels increase exponentially

[@TheEchelon]

@@TheOriginalFaxon Not really. Yes the sound pressure or energy is twice as much, but that doesn't translate how we hear or perceive it. We don't experience it as twice as loud, unless you use the adjusted scale.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

@@TheEchelon last I checked fans were normally rated in dBC, not dBA, so the measurements would be weighted in favor of lower sounds that we normally don't perceive as readily, while biasing against noises we'd actually be able to hear the difference in, meaning that the real world result usually sounds louder than it's rated as on paper. This is done intentionally because otherwise it doesn't account properly for the low frequency noise the fan generates, but it means that when we look at paper ratings for fans, we're being lied to about just how loud it will sound. As a result, if a fan is 5dB on paper, measured C weighted, it is possible that if it produces too much noise in one of the higher or lower bands that is attenuated down in dBC, this might make it louder in the real world than it is on the spec sheet, in terms of perception. It could also be the reverse though, where the fan is predominantly low frequency noise, and so a C weighted rating scale is biased against it. Generally though in my experience that's rarely the case, and fans that are rated significantly louder, also have more HF noise that's audible, with some limited exceptions

[@stinkycheese804]

If you are really that desperate, just freakin' paint them white. It seems like a really shallow thing to me, what color my fans are. People that come to my home, are more impressed that I don't have a PC sitting obnoxiously in sight, rather that it's hidden under my desk (and elsewhere) so all they see is a display, and a keyboard and mouse if those are relevant to the use. I do not understand the obsession with putting a computer on display, that making it super pretty looking, is worse than not seeing it at all. Plus no matter how quiet a PC is, it's quieter still if there's a buffer from a desk and wall or closet, etc, where there is zero decibels making it to anyone's ears. Also, no they would not sell a lot. # of people buying a specific fan for self-integration is low already, but those picking a certain size in a while color, a very low # of yearly sales. I'm not trying to put down your idea, just reinforce the reality that you may have to paint it yourself to get there, or pick another brand that comes in white. There is not a sufficient market for white for every brand to make them, would just dilute everyone's sales # to have them all do it. PLUS, certain plastics turn beige from UV exposure when they start out white. They get brittle, as well as fugly, and transmit more vibrations. Carbon black is a good way to retard UV damage to plastics.

I'm currently using the be quiet dark base pro rev 2 and it's an amazing case

Happy Turkey Day Jay & Company, and Everyone!

Since the non "Pro" versions of the fans are about $10-$15 cheaper, I put 4 of these 140mm high speed fans in my workstation/gaming rig. Since neither Phanteks nor Noctua have made 140mm versions of their best fans, Silent Wings4s are probably the best 140mm fans on the market right now.

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

What do you think Noctua's best fan is? I used 6 of their 140mm 3,000 rpm industrials in my case, they can turn almost 1,000 rpm while being inaudible, and then when you really need cooling they deliver (with all the noise at 3,000 rpm). 99% of the time they run at low speed without making any noticeable sound.

[@ImDembe]

@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Yeah 1000-1200rpm is the threshold where the majority of people would say it's quiet. This fan seem to have a pretty good motornoise and that's where Noctua are the best, i have Arctic P12 fans and Noctua A25. preformance is similar but the quality, all the add on stuff you get to pay premium and the better motor noise, no ticking or strange things going on with them at any rpm.

[@PowerOfThe69]

I just bought some Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000s that are 140mm, hit the whole 3000rpm, and get 6.58mm of static pressure compared to beQuiet's 3.64, and also gets 269.3m3/h of airflow vs beQuiet's 165.5m3/h. Seems like Noctua doesn't need anything much better

[@ImDembe]

@@PowerOfThe69 The 140mm version of the A12x25 will be a beast but in the end the real difference is slim, unless you need a 2000rpm fan anything goes and a Arctic is on par with a Noctua, i bought x5 Arctic P12s for the same price as one Noctua A12x25.

If you compress and cool it enough it’ll turn into LN and LOX mostly so strictly speaking, he’s not wrong

[@kingjongun7295]

I love the be quiet fans in my system. I rebuilt my pc when i got my 4090 at launch, the be quiet fans replaced some cheap fans from a brand no one has ever heard of. Huge improvement in both silence and cooling

[@kristo729]

I love be be quiet, been using their stuff for years

[@josuevalar6465]

Better than noctua?

[@lio1234234]

I'd love that comparison!

[@666Necropsy]

a12x25 they are almost equal. just under you wouldnt notice under 2k rpm. only if you are using test equipment. i researched these a few months ago when they came out. there were like 2 good testing reviews

[@666Necropsy]

check out the t30 as well. awesome if you need that 3k rpm lol

[@Im_MarkS]

I recently switched from Noctua to be quiet 140 mm and i must say im very content with my choice, its all the little extras that give be quite the edge. Thx for enlightening us with this documentary J2C

[@stevenglossenger5734]

Thanks!

[@bernardoalejandrobustillos897]

Jay I love you ❤

[@mattiashedman8845]

Same here switched to BeQuiet fans earlier this year, went with the ligth wings, 3 140 mm, the computer is dead silent now and always cooled perfectly.

[@DrBernon]

Thanks for the review. Fans are very important. I recently changed my case fans from a mix of the ones included with the case and one I got from a dumpster work station PC, because they were noisy. Got some Noctua, and I'm never building a PC with cheap fans ever again. The difference is amazing. Really worth it if you have the money.

[@TheSaival]

Holy moly those square corners are a godsend. Im big into DIY PC cases and doing anything curved is a pain in the butt (Good luck without pro tools). Making everything square makes design and cutting diy cases or even just mods that much easier!

[@FinalLightNL]

I bought 6 of these silent wings 4’s for my 4000D a month ago. They are so extremely quiet i love them.

[@gaminggiant5896]

Thank you Jay for doing the maths, and yes you did good. Also I really appreciate everytime you make a comparison to automotive similarities because I understand that perfectly

[@Teletha]

Can never go away from lianli's fan with the quick daisy chain

[@-opus]

BeQuiet are also one of the few manufacturers who offers cases with the choice of a glass side panel, or a solid one. Great to still see some class in the game.

[@ucmRich]

Thanks guys!!!!! I just bought 3 bequiet fans today (Pure Wings 2 8mm, 92mm and a shadow wings 2 120mm ), i hope they do what i need with low sound ^_^

[@stuchatterton6550]

Purchased a 5800X3D a couple of weeks ago and have been looking very closely at the be quiet product line for an entirely new build. Jay, your timing is impeccable.
