And the rich accessories package bundled with the fans.I'm going to be building a PC based around the RTX 3080 which will be primarily used for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and a few other games, and currently I am stuck on what fans to buy. The exceptional build quality and the options offered by the modular mounting system, justify the price of the fan.

The modular mounting system is efficient, when the fan is mounted on both a radiator or on a computer case. Similar with the previous line of fans, the Silent Wings 3 have an elegant design, the only graphic element is the Be Quiet! logo placed on the middle of the fan. The Be Quiet! Silent Wings 3 offer a very good performance, these being one of the most silent fans tested. The noise level was measured at three different distances from the fans (10cm, 20cm, 30cm.) the noise was measured with a margin of error of ± 5 db. The 140mm fans has been tested using a 280mm CPU liquid cooler, the NZXT Kraken X61 at max. The 120mm fans has been tested using a 240mm CPU liquid cooler, the SilverStone TD02 at max. – HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB / WD Blue 1TB The following system was used to test the fans: The cable of the fan is covered entirely by black sleeving. The corners made out of hard plastic allow the mounting of the fan on a radiator using a classic metallic screw, these feature rubber washers on the sides to dampen the vibration.įor power the fan SilentWings PWM uses a 4-Pin Molex connector, while the non-PWM fan uses a 3-Pin Molex connector. The hollow corners are used for mounting the fan to the case, these use a plastic pin and washer. These can be detached by using a sharp object to press the clamp and release the corners. These slide on the frame of the fan and are fixed in place by a clamp. The modular mounting system of the fans includes two sets of 4 corners. In the middle there is a label with the name, logo of Be Quiet! and the model number of the fan. The back side of the fans feature 4 plastic curved beams to focus the airflow. The frame of the fan has a rubberized texture and the inner shape is designed to increase the static air pressure. The blades of the fan are sculpted to increase airflow and lower the noise generated. On the front side of the fans in the middle we find the Be Quiet! name & logo, this is the only graphic element present on the fan’s blades. Also the main feature of this fans is the modular mounting system. Both the Silent Wings 3 model and the PWM variant use 7 blades made out of plastic, their surface is shaped & optimized for a better airflow. The general look of the fans is identical with the rest of the Be Quiet! products, imposing & elegant. – Advanced high quality IC motor controller reduces electrical noise – Removable anti-vibration mountings minimize the transmission of vibrations to the PC case and its components – The rubberized fan frame is equipped with funnel-shaped air inlets producing extremely high air pressure – Seven fan blades with optimized surface structures ensure excellent airflow – Advanced fluid-dynamic bearing (FDB) enables a super long fan life of up to 300,000 hours – 6-pole fan motor with three phases giving very low power consumption and less vibration The product comes with the following accessories: On the upper side there is a brief description of Be Quiet! Company. The back side of the packaging presents the product’s specifications. Here there are presented some of the fan’s features in different languages. On the sides of the packaging there are printed both the manufacturer’s logo and the name of the product. Inside the box there are presented a few features of the fan & Silent Wings 3 line. The front side of the box opens up, the fan and its accessories are individually packaged.

On the front side the product is presented using a general image of it, on the upper side there are placed the name & logo of the manufacturer and next to them there is the max speed of the fan. The fans are packaged in a black cardboard box with silver & orange accents. The major market of the Be Quiet! brand is Europe.
