be quiet! Light Wings 140mm PWM Premium Low Noise ARGB Cooling Fan | 4-Pin | Black | BL074

I added these fans to my be quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX case. These fans are built very well and are really quiet even at full speed. The cooling these help provide is very good being 140mm. The LEDs work very well and add a great aesthetic to my PC. Recommend to anyone looking to add more cooling to their rig!

This review is for the standard non-HS model. These run at lower RPMs but are a little quieter and optimized for air flow rather than static pressure.I did a bit of research before buying these. Case fans can be a more complicated purchase than you'd expect; when trying to balance noise, performance, and price there's a lot to think about - throw in aesthetics and it gets even worse. As someone who likes high visibility "fish tank" cases RGB was important to me but I still wanted good performance.At this price I don't think you'll find another fan that checks all of those boxes. Corsair has a similar offering but sound tests showed they had a more grating high pitch noise despite emitting objectively lower decibels. The light wings at full spin emit more of a low whooshing noise which is easily ignored. Even with six of them mounted on my case max RPM is tolerable, although their air flow is so effective that I never reach these speeds under normal use.I kept my old fans at 30% voltage because their noise was intolerable so I had significant ambient temperatures inside the case during long gaming sessions, at worst going 20°F above room temperature. Now that differential has shrunk to 14°F at worst and my GPU and CPU stay cool and spin their fans up much less, resulting in a much quieter system beyond the fans themselves. (see the graph pic. readings are taken with an Aranet 4 inside the case)The aesthetics could be better but they certainly aren't bad, especially for a component that is more often heard than seen even in a case like mine. Maybe I'm gushing a bit but knowing how well they perform adds to the aesthetics in a way. To do better you'd have to pay double for Lian Li SL120's or similar.Long review short I will not be skimping on fans for any of my future builds. These light wings are my new baseline for performance and value.

Bought these for a 10-fan build I've just finished. Few things you need to be aware of. These don't have reverse mode, so you'll need to show the back of them if you use them as intake. They do have lights in the back, but they're just thin lines. To me, the back looks better than the front, except for the stickers in the back. You can kind of see the LED spots in the front lights--they're not as uniform. Each fan has standard PWM and ARGB cables. You can daisy-chain the ARGB cables, but not the PWM ones. You'll need a separate splitter cable if you want to plug them all into a single motherboard header. They work perfectly with a Thermalright ARGB Fan HUB Controller and OpenRGB (on Linux anyway--don't know about Windows). Quality and cooling performance are top notch.I attached a picture, but it doesn't do them justice. It looks too dim. The fans look clear in real life without being overly bright. I'm super happy with them and recommend you look into them for your next build.
