The silent wings 3 is really quiet.
Replacing the fans provided by my AIO which were rather noisy.
The price is rather high but once installed you can see why.

The silent wings 3 is really quiet.
Replacing the fans provided by my AIO which were rather noisy.
The price is rather high but once installed you can see why.
On most PC cases, the fans supplied are too noisy (personal opinion).
Silence is a precious commodity and once you are used to it, it is difficult to go back.
My favourite fans for use in case ventilation.
Very little noise, very good efficiency, several attachment possibilities etc. The material exudes quality.
One remark: I find that these fans are often not well suited to ventilate a watercooling radiator, because there is a gap between the "ventilation" circle and the square covered by the attachment system. In most watercooling radiators there is a gap between the fan and the radiator, so the air is not fully pushed through the radiator and can recirculate backwards.
So if this is the case, there are two solutions: use a cover that prevents recirculation, or use another type of fan that completely "occludes" the mounting space on the radiator.
Note that this remark does not apply to fans, and to some very compact AIOs where the fans are all against the heatsink.
Quiet as hell, too bad its silence is overpowered by the noise of the other fans. Otherwise good performance and no installation problems.
In conclusion, good material.
The product is as I expected, quiet and efficient.
I recommend this product and thank LDLC for its professionalism.
