Overview

No compromise on Silence and Performance


The be quiet! 120 mm PWM SilentWings 3 fan offers state-of-the-art technology, virtually silent operation and even more efficient cooling. Their secret: a 6-pole motor that runs like clockwork, an advanced Fluid-dynamic bearing system, an optimised blade design and a fan frame with funnel-shaped air inlets.
  • Innovative 6-pole motor: 6-pole motor with three phases for lower power consumption, less vibration and therefore quieter operation.
  • Anti-vibration mounting brackets: Removable, anti-vibration mounting brackets on all four edges of the fan minimise the transmission of vibrations to the housing.
  • High quality motor control: The use of a high quality integrated circuit helps to reduce electrical noise.
  • Rubber fan frame: The rubber-mounted fan frame is equipped with funnel-shaped air inlets for extremely high air pressure.
  • Flow-optimised blades: The seven flow-optimised blades ensure virtually inaudible operation and optimum ventilation.
  • Anti-vibration mounting brackets: Removable, anti-vibration mounting brackets on all four edges of the fan minimise the transmission of vibrations to the housing
  • Rubber fan frame: The rubber-mounted fan frame is equipped with funnel-shaped air inlets for extremely high air pressure.

    Very quiet

    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.

    Silence has a price.

    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.

    Excellent, watch out for the radiators

    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.

    Meets expectations

    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.
