Review on Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM Cooling Fan - Enhance Noise Reduction with BL066 Technology by Cakra Buana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

My struggle with noise, it will be useful for beginners. The system had 4 x 120 mm, 2 x 90 mm Silverstone, Thermaltake on the CPU. Despite the SpeedFan (hereinafter referred to as SF), there was a whistle even at low speeds. I watched those foreign reviews on YouTube, where fans of different brands stupidly turned on in silence, incl. for the CPU, they are the same there, and I listened to what I liked more, taking into account the cooling efficiency. There were always a couple of leaders. Top models from the Noctua and Bequiet line. The first ones cool better by a couple of degrees, but for me personally the sound was more pleasant for the second ones. This was the basis for further work . In the program, SF began to turn off everything in a row . and realized that the most noise was from the power supply fan! Began to study materiel. By studying tests on YouTube, data and graphs on the manufacturers' websites, I came to Bequiet dark power 11. Then it's a difficult choice which one. We look at the site noise / load graph. Picked up the one that provides the lowest noise under my load. Important. Many do not pay attention to this, focusing only on power. For a quiet system, it is necessary to take not only in terms of power, but with such a margin and that model so that, according to the schedule, the noise is minimal. All models have different noise levels, as they will heat up differently under load. If you take less, you will listen to howls. In my case, the quietest was 1000-k. In real life, it fully lived up to expectations, just the Silent Wings 3 fan was installed there. Then I listen to my Silverstone vents against this background and understand that they also need to be changed. I took low-speed Silent Wings 3 (BL066) and low-speed Pure Wings 2 (only this model in a small format), along with an Akasa Flexa FP5 splitter (to unload the mother, leaving only control on her, and hang the power on the PSU), a pair of Noctua extension cords ( pair of sets of 3).

Pros
  • Silence, the highest workmanship, anti-vibration mounts, rubberized surface of individual parts of the body.
Cons
  • For 2022, they are simply not in the fans themselves. Unfortunately, there are no fans smaller than 120 mm in the lineup. You can only find fault with the length of the wire, it was worth doing more.
