While Silent Wings fans have very "ridged" structure on their blades - this creates more air turbulence and while it technically makes fan to lose some small amount of performance, it also makes noise spectrum almost all white noise, which is a lot easier for our brain to filter out and stop noticing even at moderately high fan RPM. Noctua fans (especially in latest China-made revision) have almost smooth blades and very sharp-edged plain square hub spokes - this creates pronounced "boop tone" at certain resonant RPMs, which (at least for me) are a lot more annoying than white noise of rushing air. Noctua fans have (very slightly) better raw performance, but they are somewhat more noisy - at least in "perceptual" sense. That mean, they could be used both in airflow and static pressure applications, and have best airflow/noise ratio. These fans I consider the best "all-around"/universal fans available. So in conclusion, I still don't know whether this fan is faulty or if this version is just horrendous in comparison with the original purchase.
SILENT WINGS 3 120MM PWM PC
I was told if I send them a picture of the fan dismantled then they will send me another one, to which I replied that doesn't really help my issue as I need my PC to be operating for work and I no longer have the old fan to replace it with. I contacted BeQuiet online and their customer support has been far from amazing. The high-speed version is ridiculously loud at high-loads, making me question whether there was an issue with the fan as it's absurd to have it branded as 'BeQuiet' otherwise.

To say they're different is an understatement.
SILENT WINGS 3 120MM PWM FULL
It works an absolute dream and is literally silent even at full speed, although the rpm is only 1000 I believe.īeing so happy with this purchase I decided to purchase another for the back of my case, this time a 120mm high-speed version as I figured that extra push would help the cooling in my case. The first fan (top of the case) is the Silent Wings 3 (non high-speed) version which I purchased first. Unfortunately the issue is still not resolved, therefore I'm writing this review just to warn others of the potential issues that I've encountered. I have so far refrained from writing this review as I deemed it only fair for BeQuiet to have a chance to resolve the issues I've had.

SILENT WINGS 3 120MM PWM PLUS
Fluid Dynamic Bearing The fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) enables a long fan life of up to 300,000 hours, or around 34 years, plus reduced operating noise.We use cookies and similar tools that are necessary to enable you to make purchases, to enhance your shopping experiences and to provide our services, as detailed in our Cookie Notice. Fan Frame The rubberized fan frame is equipped with funnel-shaped air inlets for efficient air circulation and high air pressure, which makes the fan a solid choice for use in gaming and multimedia PCs, overclocked systems, and for use with radiators. Anti-Vibration Mountings Removable anti-vibration mountings on all four edges of the fan help to reduce vibrations transmitted to the system case. Surface-Optimized Fan Blades Seven fan blades with an optimized surface structure help to ensure virtually inaudible operations and a strong airflow. Pulse-Width Modulation Functionality Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) allows all compatible 4-pin controllers, including those built into many motherboards, to intelligently vary the speed of the fan. IC Motor Contoller A high-quality IC motor controller helps reduce electrical noise. General Features Six-Pole Fan Motor A six-pole fan motor with three phases for low power consumption and reduced vibration produces maximum noise levels of 16.4 dBA.
