One Fan to Rule Them All?

Could you do an updated video with these against the new Noctua 140mm fans, as case fans? Thanks!

I bought five Silent Wings 4 PWM fans, installed three of them as front-case intake fans, and all three of them emitted a grindy sound when spinning up or down their RPMs at times, and had a dirty spinning sound that was distracting and unpleasant. I returned them. My Arctic P14s are way smoother-sounding and without any rattling noise. I'm still looking for something to replace the P14s, though - something that's better, not worse. I'm thinking of trying the P14 A-RGB or P14 Max.

Y u know longer make fan reviews
Specialy with the new noctua fans

Then... Whats the best? Lian li, this, arctic? Whats the best for aio radiator.... And if it is possible, with and without argb

gentle typhoon is like 20 years old, right? truly a timeless design

damn 40€ for 1 fan? i expect the computer to fly after that XD

Amazing how Gentle Typhoon still holds up, even compared to new designs and the copycats (Noctua and Toughfan).

Tbh that’s a noctua design copy

expensive as f*ck

So, the Phanteks T30 is the "one fan to rue them all".

If it's not noctua industrial 3000 a14 ippv , your comparison is not it.

If only be quiet! saw this. It doesn't seem to have amny views yet has pribably the best business ideas for them. I hope they listen. They're my favourite company.

How can i power these with a usb?

I would be nice to have a thermalright fan review to check a more budget friendly top fan! @HardwareCanucks

I use BeQuiet for almost 20 years now. Never had single failure. Not even bearing noises or something. They not the cheapest or most efficient(and not even the quietest😂) But they have extensive accessories and the build quality is great.

And then you notice you can get from Arctic all the fans you need for a chassis for less than two Be Quiet fans and the performance difference is just 1-2°, if any.

A noctua ppc, really, what a joke, you didn't put the 30$ fan against a 30$ fan. I will never trust you. Fake news. Paid. Sellout.

Top notch work as usual. One small suggestion, the color coding might be confusing for some that are checking and hearing these metrics and numbers for the first time (grey, light grey and orange highlight).

Great review, lots of data ❤

Where is the Arctic P12 max?

Thanks

My case came with ASUS fans, so I don't plan to replace them, but it's cool to see how good these ones are in case I need replacements. These having a 5 year warranty vs ASUS 2 year limited warranty is nuts.

Thank you man! This might be the only fan video I've ever watched that has the information exactly how I wanted it, with all the fans I wanted compared, amazing!

Just replaced an HSF and a rear case fan with a Be Quiet Silent Wings 4 120mm (for the HSF) and a BQ Silent Wings 4 120mm PWM high-speed (for the rear case exhaust fan). I've been a major Noctua fanboy for well over a decade, but the Be Quiet fans have seriously impressed me! And it's true, I notice the different in weight from the moment I picked up the boxed fans...each box was heavy. Removing the fans from their box, they were heavy too. Built like a German tank. And they are really moving a lot more air than the Noctuas they replaced. I'm glad I tried them out and am more willing in the future to research other brands of fans. (to be clear though, Noctua is still a 1st tier cooler and fan producer).

You lost me at $32 with no RGB :(

Thanks for the video, I bought that fan
Pure wings2 140mm
But I want to use it for my mini camper
There is 4 wire one + one - and two F ,
I tried different ways doesn’t work
Pleas tell me how to install it , thanks

Yeah, the ONLY FAN!

Can you add the rpm of the fan to know how much air does in CFM? because for expirience all fan more than 1000 rpm or 1300 rpm are noisi. For example: fan at 1200 rpm does 45CMF .Epic review as always !

Can I put 2 of these on my Noctua NH-U12A cooler, replacing current NF-A12x25s that came with it? Sorry Noctua enthusiasts, I know that in your eyes I am committing a blasphemy, but I have to follow the numbers. Also, how well does Pro 4 serves as a case fan? More specifically as an exhaust fan?

Silent Wings 4 or Light Wings? I like the lights but would never run either above 1700 rpm

Amazing content on this channel! With that being said, I must say that these results vary WILDLY from my own experience. I am running 5x Silent Wings 140 Pro on radiators, and in the video during the "Restricted Aírflow @ 39dBA" it mentions that HC was able to run them at 2050RPM. At 2050RPM mine genereated 56db! I had to take them all the way down to 1100RPM to hit 39db, which means they generate more noise than the Arctic P14's I was running before at the same speeds.

A $3 industry Sunon fan will do the same.

Nobody cares about 120mm, I’ve never bought a single 120mm fan and never plan to. Review 140mm please.

Will you test the Thermaltake toughfan 12 and 12 Pro?

thanks for making it clear that standard thickness fans are inadequate :)

In Australia I just ordered the 120mm be quiets for 37AUD ea. Noctua equivalent is minimum 62AUD ea for brown and 85AUD for chromax...

The content is so good I had to pause to click subscribe, just to see that I already did 😂

So the t30 is better than everything on this list?

perfect 25mm fan!

shame one of these is like 30€+++++++

do you have to use the switch or can you use pwm? You really should use pwm. With a good case and proper airflow your fans should rarely spin up very high

can i mount these on the dark rock 4 pro's heatsink? If so, will the 140mm fan fit in the middle or will i have to get two 120mm fans?

you should compare them with Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe-Series.

These have an audible whine when screwed in as case fans, sorry. Surprised you didn't catch that.

Add the excellent cable with the (probably) only ergonomic header. Then add the 300,000 hours-long lifespan. I have 8 of them and I'll add some more to my CPU and GPU.

What with EK-Vardar?

A single one of these is the same price as a 5 pack of Artic p12s where i live. I have 9 fans so this is a no-starter.

just bought 6 of the 140mm to put on my radiator, my cpu is gonna freeze

bequiet has been making good psu, fans, coolers, and cases. I think you get that "German engineering" quality with it.
