This is sufficient static pressure to easily push air.
Silent wings 2 120mm full#
The Noctua NF-P12 redux sports impressive performance with 2.83mm H2O of static pressure and 70.7ft3/min of airflow at full throttle. I know sometimes the fan comparison can be troublesome as swapping from a PWM to DC model along with being high-speed vs standard throws in far more variables than you were probably aware. The Noctua NF-P12 redux is the best 120mm case fan on the market, and comes in a sleek grey color rather than the less suave brown Noctua is so known for. If you want the best potential for silence and great performance, the Silent Wings 3 will give you the best we can offer at this moment in time. In order to evenly compare high speed to high speed, you would want to compare the two similarly spec model between the two sizes, and see the maximum RPM of the 120mm "high-speed PWM" fan would now be 2000, and hence based upon the design would also reach the 36dB(A) range. The 120mm you chose was a DC model (3-pin) standard speed (up to 1500RPM) more quiet-focused model. I notice that the 140mm fan you showed was the "high-speed PWM" variant which has a higher maximum RPM capability and also a different noise profile. We do the same with Silent Wings 3, and etc to offer a variety of features (Size, PWM/DC, speed, and noise profiles) possible. There are many models in each fan series.
Silent wings 2 120mm Pc#
What you are comparing, you are looking at very different models of fans, as you can see here: PURE WINGS 2 silent Fans for your PC from be quiet! It would’ve perhaps have been easy for them to simply modify something like the excellent Silent Wings 3, but they didn’t, and on the whole, even without the ARGB on yet, I think they look excellent!Īs with most be quiet! products, while there is branding present, it is quite understated and, overall, fits in well with the ethos of the product.I think there may be some confusion here. In terms of the fans though, this definitely appears to be something very new from be quiet!. Put simply, all three models look exactly the same with the only key difference (at the risk of being Captain Obvious) that the 140mm fan is larger. In fact, even at an hour’s scrutiny, I doubt you’d find anything to let you know the difference other than the information printed on the exhaust side of the fan. The FansĪt a glance, there isn’t anything on the surface to denote the ‘High Speed’ variant from the standard. It’s a small point, but it always speaks of a quality product when they’re nicely boxed both inside and out. It should be noted though that the interior packaging is certainly of good quality with the fans nicely sandwiched within. Not for the first time, while be quiet! gets the front right, the back leaves more than a little to be desired. – As you can see below though, there is still a fair amount of space that could’ve been used and hasn’t. As such, the rear is fairly bland with the specific models’ technical information as well as a brief product description (the layout is identical on all 3 samples we have). My only mild complaint is that given that these are ARGB, and be quiet!’s first real effort for a fan product, just showing half an orange ring isn’t perhaps the most eye-catching image they could’ve mustered.Īs these are fans, there clearly isn’t a lot of real estate on the packaging to slap a whole bunch of pictures and technical specifications. So, on the whole, the front of the packaging gives you a nice clear image of the fan in question. By and large, they’re exactly the same with the only change being the product name denoted at the bottom (such as 120mm PWM/120mm PWM High Speed). While I could go into individual detail over the packaging of all the three models we have, the truth is that it’s not really necessary.
