The claim is a real one: this is supposed to be the best fan for PC cases, radiators and heatsinks. There's some impressive airflow here to hit the best possible temperatures but is the Silent Wings PRO 4 actually the best fan for static pressure AND airflow?

No 140mm test? Seems like 140mms always get overlooked

@kibels894 Год назад

They aren't super useful except as front case fans with no front radiator

@Jean-bs5ip Год назад

Because some benchmarks showed that all 120mm fan is basically the same as mixing some 140s... And most of the pc cases don't allow 6x 140s so you will end up mixing 120s aswell

@@kibels894 Would still be useful to see, especially because a lot of the best 120mm fans (Gentle Typhoon, T30, AF12x25, etc) don't have 140mm variants. I have 4 140mm fans in my case (Corsair 4000d airflow, 2x 140mm in front and 2x 140mm up top on my AIO), so it'd be really nice to know what the best 140mm fans are, especially since 140mm fans have the chance of being quieter than 120mm while moving the same or more air. Also, as someone who just replaced my 3x 120mm front fans with 2x 140mm, 140mm fans have a much nicer noise to me

I decided try the Pro 4 in addition to my Noctua A12x25 and have been impressed. They move as much air as the Noctua at the same RPM, so even performance there, but if you run the BQ fan at 2000rpm and the noctua at 2000rpm, the BQ is quieter.

@hupiscratch110 Год назад

For me the champion of this comparison is the Nidec gentle typhoon. At 20 bucks, it got quite close to the top at the 39 dB test on both radiator and air cooler, which makes it a far better choice than 30+ options

I always get caught up with the latest and greatest in PC cooling stuff, but in reality I've never noticed a difference when my CPUs ran at ~55C or 80C. They may not last as long at 80C (doubt it'll matter even at 90C), but the performance is the same, at least what I've seen since Ryzen R 1X00. Not going to sweat over losing ~4C, especially since I already have Noctuas.

@adrianossidiras5057 Год назад

I'd love to have a dB to RPM curve. Most of us don't have a quality microphone to test fan noise so having the RPM reading would allow us to set the optimal RPM on our fans. Otherwise, amazing job 😁👍

@thestrykernet Год назад

I love these fan tests and hope you're able to continue them throughout the new year. I would absolutely buy these or T30s for CPU cooling if mine was pulling more power, but that seems like the only use. When I setup my 5000D I bought a 5 pack of Arctic P12 fans for $30 and they're still working great. I just don't see the value behind the higher end fans outside of direct CPU/GPU cooling unless perhaps you were restricted by SFF and only had 1 fan mount.

@MrGamelover23 Год назад

I imagine the higher end fans will last longer. Peace of mind and quality control are valuable. Like, the new p12 max from arctics would be amazing they didn't have horrendous quality control making their predecessor a better option. Plus, noctua supports decade old coolers with free mounting brackets, the postage would cost more than the bracket itself. That kind of customer service demands a higher price. Don't know about bequiet's support, but I'm sure it's better than Arctics. I like saving money, but I'm willing to pay a premium for a company that supports its users.

@rustyshakelford1466 10 месяцев назад

Ball bearing fans last the longest. The downside is even on the good models hub noise is still somewhat a lottery, and even on a good sample from a good brand there could still be some hub noise, they aren't absolutely silent. But they last like twice as long as other bearing technologies. Still, it's debatable how valuable that is, since they can develop noise long before actually failing like other types of bearings, even if they take a lot longer to fail. In my own almost 20 years of using PC fans I've only had a few sleeve bearing fans actually fail outright, and I could have maybe fixed those with disassembly. A lot of the top performers are ball bearing though (since they're based on server fans originally), so I among that group I tend to look at what's priced the best. GTs at $20 when you can get them are still amazing, but I've seen the Cm SF-120M and Wonder Snail as low as $11, and at that price I would take them easily over a P12.

@yowamidesu Год назад

What a coincidence, I've been eyeing these the past couple days after I saw your other comparison video. I was looking into the Gentle Typhoons and Noctuas as well as Be Quiets. The Gentle Typhoons didn't seem to come in 140mm and although the Noctuas don't have rgb which is how I like it, I can't get over the color scheme since I'm looking for dark fans to match my case. I recently ordered a prebuilt from ibuypower, a decision I regret. Aside from the fact that they didn't give me the 3080 ti open air gpu I specifically requested and opted for a blower style 3080ti, they also took the case fans I requested, stuck them onto the cpu aio, installed their own bare bones case fans in the case where the ones I requested were supposed to go, and stuck the fans that were supposed to go with the aio in the accessory pouch. Tangent aside, the Silent Wings 4s caught my eye with the long potential operating hours. My whole reason for going with a prebuilt instead of just doing it myself is that I've only built 1.5 computers before. I first did it 8 years ago and upgraded many of the parts 4 years ago. I didn't want to bother with cable management and wires and wanted a professional job done on those aspects especially since I wanted a Hyte y60 and wasn't confident in my own abilities, but now I'm going to have to do it anyways.

@balesjo 4 месяца назад

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).

@junhanyao9247 Год назад

Hi, I noticed something weird since I got my hands on these fans, I got 3 of them for my AIO. I set them to UHS mode, which should give me a 3000rpm highest speed, but all my software are reading each and every one of them at 2750-2800rpm max speed. I have a Noctua-Bequiet combo, so I am sure it is not my fan headers problem, since I tested each one of them though multiple fan headers on motherboard, and the noctua's speed could be readed out correctly. Can you do a quick test to see if yours are capped at somewhere below the rated 3000rpm?

Most users only use a fraction of their CPU capability so a CPU cooler seldom gets a workout. If you have a powerful graphics card it is likely the biggest noise source while gaming. Feeding cool air to the internals of most decent cases is a relatively low noise task if you have at least 4 case fans and an oversized power supply. In summary the case and radiator fans should not be much of a noise issue unless they are badly tuned or fitted in a bad case.

I got to that point in the video and was already smelling a lot of manufacturer's PR talking points coming off this one, so giving it a miss.

@bengrogan9710 Год назад

If you plan on keeping these for multiple systems it can be a benefit. The hard moulding is a strain relief for the connectors where that flex can damage them, also they are flexible earlier as you can see the heat shrink wrap on the stock connector continues further

Mounting and unmounting on multiple systems. Not only that but the longer end is critical for tight spots especially in ITX systems.

@air21511 Год назад

can you do 140mm like D14S from Thermal Right and P14 and noctual and BeQuiet please?

@obliviondust2719 Год назад

im sold, just bought 10 of these for my o11 build

@Pliko121 8 месяцев назад

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.

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.

@zeeiii6857 Год назад

wow. crazy how something that sounds so simple a 120x25mm fan.. Can get so much better over the years.

@pake1 8 месяцев назад

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

@watercannonscollaboration2281 Год назад

I’ll probably still stick with the Arctic P12 because it’s cheap and somehow still great on radiators in my past experience relative to stock AIO fans, but it’s good to see beQuiet giving Noctua a run for its money and I love options the next time I look for an upgrade

@chickenpasta7359 Год назад

Same. I have P12s on my 240mm AIO and 3 on my case. The airflow on them is great while being quiet enough. They're budget kings still to this day.

@MinehowTech Год назад

Personally use all be quiet 140 fans for case airflow, and 3 t30 on my liquid freezer 360. PC is nearly inaudible even under full load. It's to a point where even just having my open back hd660s on makes it completely inaudible to me. That being said, all my fans curves are optimized for noise rather then temps, but my 3080 strix only gets to 75c, and my 5800x3d to 65c.

@fanboy7985 Год назад

Would had loved to see the new M25 fans from phanteks.

@Hans_Lollo Год назад

I just want to mention that the Arctic P12 is performing great compared to priceperformance against the other fans.

Ya but it's a hummingbird

@Atrumoris 7 месяцев назад

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?

@alpenfoxvideo7255 Год назад

Damn those T30 are strong... I gotta find a way to put them in the A4-H2O with a radiator...Otherwise I know which fans to buy!

@dynastes4938 Год назад

Well, they are 20% thicker than its competitors, too. Cannot beat physics :D

@notBeWitchy Год назад

the ek basic aios fit with t30s in h2o. I thought about doing it but spending 80$ on 2 fans is insane.

@dynastes4938 Год назад

@@notBeWitchy I would refrain from spending money on high-end fans like this to put on an 240mm AIO cooler. The performance gains won't match the cost at all. Fans like that are mostly relevant for open loop watercooling. Sure, they can help to provide the most quiet systems when a proper fan curve is applied and everything else is optimized, too. But in a system like that you likely will not want an AIO since their pumps often end up being audible over everything else.

@user9267 Год назад

Optimum Tech fit them, but these seem so close that you should probably go with them.

@RyanFennec Год назад

@@notBeWitchy yeah 80 got 2 fans is just ridiculous lmao

@StalwartMan 3 месяца назад

Thanks

@captaingreenhat 11 месяцев назад

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

@HardwareCanucks 11 месяцев назад

Its PWM compatible

@Qimchiy Год назад

You should test the fans by snowman and the Alseye CS-120.

@pcastillo2nd718 Год назад

Now how would these perform on the Dark Rock Pro 4?

@svt_helraiser Год назад

Would these be good to run on the bottom of a hyte y60 case

@boonie3 Год назад

Should add the Deepcool FK120 to future tests. Better performing than Arctic P12 while being at a similar price.

@bagman5369 Год назад

hi can you make a content using cheap air cooler with these fans?

@doisan8218 Год назад

Damn what are the odds. I'm actually thinking of replacing my fans and lo and behold, your vid was here when I opened youtube. Waiting for noctua's answer to bequiet's fans.
