BeQuiet just blew my mind... 

I hate rgb. If I wanted a christmas lights, I would get some Christmas lights.

arctic are really good too without rgb

I don’t hate RGB but it can sometimes get on my nerves if I’m trying to really focus on something like a school assignment or model building. If I’m gaming then it doesn’t really bother me as much as it probably should. It’s pretty to look at sometimes though and themed setups are pretty sick.

T30 though.

I am interested in if BeQuiet has improved their build quality or not. I love their coolers, but I’ve had an irritating number of their fans get bad bearings after six months or so. As opposed to Noctua which are functionally immortal

me too!

@@tacticalcenter8658 Cheap Thermaltake crap

If you have the chance, check the Phanteks T30. I used TT in the past, their turbofans and was bad.

Have always liked be quiet stuff.

fans from Poland are half the price and quieter that's what German quality looks like these days :)

yup … i have the arctic which are crazy good for the ~7$ price point but at certain rpm they will whine.

@@jimlahey6692 I know that pain of yours. I have 4 on my case, after 50% RPM the airplain gets ready to set off...

@@alishfitness yeah but to be honest i dont need them at high rpm. And when you set them in bios they are crazy good value. But not so much plug and play and well balanced as noctuas.

Thank you! Since he never breaks down his videos. LOL

How do they comapre to Noctua fans ? I want something quieter...my NZXT AIO fans are crazy loud after a year...

@@AMdrew honestly BeQuiet has an array of fans that might suit your need. They make some that are for performance, some like Jay said that is an over all fan, and some that shoot for little noise as possible. I say they you look at their vids from their website to see which fit your need because I don’t know what you had in your previous setup. I think they hold up if not exceed Noctua.

@@AMdrew They are better than noctua in terms of noice/performance. Im using mine at 70% max and cpu (r9 5950x) is 63c and gpu (rtx 3090) 58c under full load. Phone shows 31db at full load but im not sure if its accurate.

@@AMdrew I had both originally started with Noctuas then BeQuiet. and can confirm BeQuiet are less noisy when cranked up to max. I dont know if it's because of maybe they push less air around than the Noctua but they do keep my hardware cool during summer so I guess BeQuiet won on the basis they they do their work properly enough while remaining quiet

@@The-Cat I have Air Conditioning in my room, I use it almost all day in the Summer since I dislike heat. My NZXT fans which came with the kraken x63 are getting louder each day...I have had them since December last year. I want to swap them out...first I was looking for the noctua NF-A14's but those are not black..I have a black and red themed setup, I don't want to mess it up. I was looking at the Noctua INdustrial ones, which are black, but they are noisier than the other ones because they are industrial :). I think I will buy the BeQuiet ones, but not the PRO's since they are a little bit louder than the regular ones. The silent wings 4 have 13.6DB Rating and the PRO's have 36.8DB.

My god same, i replaced all my 6 fans with these in my 4000D about a month or two ago as well. They are amazingly quiet

@@Ugga-Bugga NF-A12x25 are my personal GOATs. The noise/performance is crazy.

Where did you get them? I’m not seeing the pros available anywhere.

@@LoveTriscuit At a local shop in my area - sorry to hear you can't find them that easily

@@FinalLightNL what size fans did you get

Hey man, do you have a partpicker list with your rig? I'm planning to do the same kind of build, great cooling but silent

Same. Im using BeQuiet Cases, PSUs, Coolers and fans for yeas now. They never disappoint.

@@BrialMusic Silent Wings 4 High Speed ezpz pick, then limit it to under 2000 rpm. You'll get Noctua level of noise-airflow performance no cap. If you're using an AIO or want a radiator fan, change the fans to Phanteks T30 because they do outperform both the A12 and SW4 if you use it for that task. However do NOT use the T30s as a case fan; you'll be overpaying and they're not that great when there's little to no obstruction. If you want similar performance but cheaper, get Arctic P14s or Arctic P12 ARGBs. Do not get the basic arctic P12s, you should be looking at Fractal Aspect, SickleFlows or Kaze Flex instead.

Cheap arctic is still more silent and more air ;)

@@JJ79_ and with worse qc

@@JJ79_ I just bought an arctic p12 and it has annoying whine bruh

@@Nick-nf1kd I have bequiet case and few original bequiet fans and some arctics and arctics are far more quiet and more air flow, no whine at all.

@@Nick-nf1kd Arctic P12 is a 5 dollar cheap plastic fan. A pack of 5 costs only a bit more than a single Silent Wings 3 fan, it'd be unfair to have the same expectations. I bought a 5-pack of them to have cheap spare fans, but they are indeed annoying to listen to. The Arctic BioniX P120 is (presumably) what he meant. They are good quality, insanely quiet and moves a good amount of air for like half price of the SW3's, available in a bunch of different color options. I got 2 of the BioniX P120's with their Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo cooler, the fans got daisy-chaining and the cooler is mad silent, even with 2 fans.

Exactly. Comparing the specs of the 140s a14 with pro 14 140s, the Noctuas are more quiet but the bequiet are faster. Really nice would be to have the curve db vs RPM for both, so everybody can calculate the sweet spot for their build.

A12 king 👑

T30 too.

I mean noctua makes “server” fans that go to 3000rpm. I run the 2000 rpm 120s in my custom loop… bought be interesting to compare for sure.

@@boblee211 no longer lmao

looking at Silent Wings 3 quality and power efficiency of the newest gen GPUs that's a 'never' ;)

I liked reading your comment after going completly over budget to buy bequiet power supply

I can vouch for BeQuiet PSU, got 750 W Platinum, it's really silent and great

I see you are a fan girl 🥁

I hate AIOs.... especially with BeQuiet fans. You hear nothing but the pump permanently...

@@vermilion7777 i have never heard the sound of any pump of an aio

@@spagettete_ I always hear them. Tried 3 different manifacturers. My computer is near silent though. No HDD or other mechanical drive, fans run below 300 rpm idle. GPU and power unit are silent. The pump always does a permanent high pitched noise.

​@@vermilion7777 I hear pump noise at startup, almost as if it's activating, but then it stabilises and becomes quiet afterwards. Basically gets drowned out by ambient noise and fan noise.

@@triliner254 Nah, for me it's a permanent high pitched squeek.

Better than noctua? That's a pretty bold claim. What brands are you even talking about?

@misanthrop Once Noctua started making their Chroma series (black fans) I was sold on them. Considering how long they last; I won't be changing anything anytime soon.

@@ShadowedZer0 plenty of high quality fans exist that are on par with noctua in pressure, flow and noise. Noctua are great, dont get me wrong; but the market is more or less saturated with options nowadays.

Check my build out with the 3 be quite fans

be quiet! is a over price company that steals people's money for nothing.

The gentle typhoon were just way ahead of their time.

@@ThrashingBasskill Absolutely

Buy my be quiet case off of me please

@@itisfreak Not in the market for a new case atm, butthanks all the same.

@@RidesandRambling no problem bro if you change your mind hit me up

be quite make fans that flow a lot more air but are louder as well

Nah. Both sizes use identical hub motors. So the larger blade area has more drag and therefore lower rpm

@@LordHyren correct

@@LordHyren Yeah, but it's only out of cheapness to not offer a second hub size.

To minimize noise, yes a certain tip speed has to be constrained, yet most of the noise comes from the turbulence of moving the air against local obstructions. The other replies were correct that at a given fan coil strength, it will just spin slower with a higher load from larger blades. Ultimately it is not so scientific, they just make fans that are cost optimized to reap more profit but also perform well without sinking to sub-par materials (bearings, blade material, and balancing). Lastly, it's just inherent that to hit the broad audience, the larger the fan blade, the less RPM it takes to move *enough* air at the target noise level. The blade RPM slowdown is due to moving more air so it fairly equals out.

I assume, the hub size wouldn't be a problem, like with the Noctua A12x25.

Please never compare them.... If you want brutal pressure and doesn`t care about dbA, then you can also use the NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM - only 5dbA more. This one also increase the airflow from 140m³/h to over 180m³/h with an increased static airpressure of ~30% (or 2mm/H²O more). But why you are in need of it - Noctua add an rubber sealant (can be additional install from side of the customer) which minimize the loss of the static pressure and airflow. :edit: the design of the blades looks nice, but hard to clean. The dust likes the structure and stay there.

@@tonikeller5928 so what you're saying is that for 30% more pressure and 20% more flow rate, you can have fans that are approximately twice as loud, because that's about the difference 5db makes. It's a logarithmic scale, not a linear one, which means that power levels increase exponentially

@@TheOriginalFaxon Not really. Yes the sound pressure or energy is twice as much, but that doesn't translate how we hear or perceive it. We don't experience it as twice as loud, unless you use the adjusted scale.

@@TheEchelon last I checked fans were normally rated in dBC, not dBA, so the measurements would be weighted in favor of lower sounds that we normally don't perceive as readily, while biasing against noises we'd actually be able to hear the difference in, meaning that the real world result usually sounds louder than it's rated as on paper. This is done intentionally because otherwise it doesn't account properly for the low frequency noise the fan generates, but it means that when we look at paper ratings for fans, we're being lied to about just how loud it will sound. As a result, if a fan is 5dB on paper, measured C weighted, it is possible that if it produces too much noise in one of the higher or lower bands that is attenuated down in dBC, this might make it louder in the real world than it is on the spec sheet, in terms of perception. It could also be the reverse though, where the fan is predominantly low frequency noise, and so a C weighted rating scale is biased against it. Generally though in my experience that's rarely the case, and fans that are rated significantly louder, also have more HF noise that's audible, with some limited exceptions

So... To paraphrase.... if you're talking about cooling, I feel bad for ya son... I got 99 problems, but a fan ain't one 😉😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@briankipper5496 pretty much that yeah xD

Good luck. I’m itching bad for new builds.

and they love you too, for throwing an extra $50+ at something that was solved 30 years ago.

Thats racist😶

If you are really that desperate, just freakin' paint them white. It seems like a really shallow thing to me, what color my fans are. People that come to my home, are more impressed that I don't have a PC sitting obnoxiously in sight, rather that it's hidden under my desk (and elsewhere) so all they see is a display, and a keyboard and mouse if those are relevant to the use. I do not understand the obsession with putting a computer on display, that making it super pretty looking, is worse than not seeing it at all. Plus no matter how quiet a PC is, it's quieter still if there's a buffer from a desk and wall or closet, etc, where there is zero decibels making it to anyone's ears. Also, no they would not sell a lot. # of people buying a specific fan for self-integration is low already, but those picking a certain size in a while color, a very low # of yearly sales. I'm not trying to put down your idea, just reinforce the reality that you may have to paint it yourself to get there, or pick another brand that comes in white. There is not a sufficient market for white for every brand to make them, would just dilute everyone's sales # to have them all do it. PLUS, certain plastics turn beige from UV exposure when they start out white. They get brittle, as well as fugly, and transmit more vibrations. Carbon black is a good way to retard UV damage to plastics.

@@stinkycheese804 Chill dude, its just some fans...

@@Boemtie You seem more upset than I, to make a post devoid of any content.

@@stinkycheese804 uhm sure buddy🙄

What do you think Noctua's best fan is? I used 6 of their 140mm 3,000 rpm industrials in my case, they can turn almost 1,000 rpm while being inaudible, and then when you really need cooling they deliver (with all the noise at 3,000 rpm). 99% of the time they run at low speed without making any noticeable sound.

@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Yeah 1000-1200rpm is the threshold where the majority of people would say it's quiet. This fan seem to have a pretty good motornoise and that's where Noctua are the best, i have Arctic P12 fans and Noctua A25. preformance is similar but the quality, all the add on stuff you get to pay premium and the better motor noise, no ticking or strange things going on with them at any rpm.

I just bought some Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000s that are 140mm, hit the whole 3000rpm, and get 6.58mm of static pressure compared to beQuiet's 3.64, and also gets 269.3m3/h of airflow vs beQuiet's 165.5m3/h. Seems like Noctua doesn't need anything much better

@@PowerOfThe69 The 140mm version of the A12x25 will be a beast but in the end the real difference is slim, unless you need a 2000rpm fan anything goes and a Arctic is on par with a Noctua, i bought x5 Arctic P12s for the same price as one Noctua A12x25.

In as few words as possible: $

You became the fans?

what is it like beeing a noctua fan?

​@@shoobadoo123 Nowdays you can be whatever you want. Don't judge!

The big thing that sold me on Noctua fans was really just Longevity/lifespan. Where every other fan I've used has gone a few months to maybe, _maybe_ a year before the bearings started to make noise, my Noctuas are on their second year. After that, I don't care about any feature other than the bearing.

@@williamking9707 what? months? are your fans spinning through sand or what?

If you compress and cool it enough it’ll turn into LN and LOX mostly so strictly speaking, he’s not wrong

I'll have a mug of air with milk please

@@jazzmusiccontinues1134 it's always a fluid. Fluid doesn't mean liquid.

@@MiG82au So it is, so it is. Learned something today. Thanks for that

I'd love that comparison!

a12x25 they are almost equal. just under you wouldnt notice under 2k rpm. only if you are using test equipment. i researched these a few months ago when they came out. there were like 2 good testing reviews

check out the t30 as well. awesome if you need that 3k rpm lol
