A fan that ventilates, from the BeQuiet, what more can I say except that even at full bios setting, it makes almost no noise.
Good throughput, Good quality for not too much money blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
To complete a Base 500 box from BeQuiet, they do a great job and are especially quiet.
Inaudible at 1 metre, I sometimes even forget that the computer is on.
Bought 2 recently rather quiet and compared to the price of competition the question does not arise ....
I received my order quickly and it was exactly as described - pure Be Quiet and perfectly silent!
The PURE WINGS 2 offer good value for money for case ventilation compared with the SILENT WINGS 2 and the new SERIE 3.
I hesitated for a long time to pay more for the silence, but at 2 or 3 times the price (from 12 to 25 to 36€ each), I didn't take the plunge, even if it lasts over time.
In other cases (for a VENTIRAD replacement or on a WATERCOOLING RADIATOR), I would have spent more for the static pressure/noise ratio, but for the box ventilation.
I didn't get the RGB models, which aren't very good in terms of effect, so maybe I'd use RGB grilles instead.
The noise level is almost inaudible, the air volume level is quite low, but if you put several fans in an open case with a standard configuration, it's perfect (the sensor indicates a case temperature of -2 degrees compared with the old fan, which was 120 and noisier).
Don't forget to buy a Y cable if you are installing a pair of fans on the front (so that the 2 fans have identical PWM control via the CM).
1 star less because it is necessary to see in the duration but very pleasant surprises. I had never used this brand before because the photos gave me an impression of light plastic (in this price range) and the first surprise was the weight and the apparent solidity, it is rigid. The cable is long and black and even without being sheathed it is still an aesthetic plus. No rubber shock absorber but you can adjust it yourself, for my part the rubbers are basic on my box, I put one in push and one in pull. The performance and silence is almost beyond what people say, I was expecting inflated opinions due to a kind of fashion effect for this brand but they are really efficient and quiet as everyone says. I've only pushed them to 100% for testing, ideally you should never be 100% of course, but you have to expect that sometimes it happens and nothing to say, they deserve what you say about them.
good fans, doing their job.
At the moment my case is not the best but these two fans make up for it
Be Quiet! is one of the 2 most silent brands with Noctua.
This 14 Cm is therefore very quiet, it is not very expensive either, in fact it is one of the best quality/price/quietness ratio on the market.
So why not 10/10?
In fact Be Quiet! is cheaper than Noctua mainly because of the plastic used:
Either you fix it with anti-noise clamps
Or with screws, but be careful, in this case, the dismantling to change the PC for example, risks to destroy the screw thread made during the 1st screwing...
To stay on a positive note: It does its job very well and silently
I ordered this fan to double the existing one on my Silent Base 600 case. I have nothing to say about the operation of this fan which is very quiet. The fan is very quiet and I connected it to the motherboard which will regulate it.
On the other hand, it is delivered with only 4 fixing screws which do not correspond to my case. So I had to find something to fix it before realizing ... that the case was delivered with the right screws. I'm sure you'll agree ...
