Product Information

Full details

The be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM high-speed fan is designed for PC builders seeking consistent, high airflow and static pressure, especially for radiators and heatsinks. Its key benefit is the persistent RPM motor that maintains speed under load, ensuring optimal cooling. A potential caveat is its maximum speed noise level, which might be noticeable in very quiet environments. This fan features a closed-loop motor for stable speed, optimized blades for high air pressure, and a durable rifle bearing for longevity, making it a robust choice for demanding systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the closed-loop motor?

The closed-loop motor ensures the fan maintains its set rotational speed even when facing increased air resistance, providing consistent cooling performance under varying loads.

Is this fan suitable for radiators?

Yes, the Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM high-speed fan is specifically designed for high static pressure, making it ideal for pushing air through dense radiators and heatsinks.

What is the lifespan of the fan?

The fan is equipped with a rifle bearing, providing a Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of up to 80,000 hours.

Does the fan come with screws?

Yes, the fan includes 4 mounting screws for installation.

What is the maximum rotational speed and noise level?

The maximum rotational speed is 2100 RPM. At this speed, the noise level is rated at 30.9 dB.

Can I control the fan speed?

Yes, the fan supports Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), allowing for dynamic speed control via your motherboard's fan headers and BIOS settings.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Verify the 4-pin connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check if the fan header is receiving power in the BIOS settings. Ensure the fan is not obstructed.

Fan making unusual noise

Check for any loose cables or obstructions hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. If noise persists at high speeds, it may be normal operating noise for this high-speed model.

Fan speed not changing with temperature

Confirm that PWM mode is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS or fan control software. Ensure the fan is connected to a PWM-compatible header. Test with a different fan to rule out motherboard issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent static pressure for radiators and heatsinks.
Consistent fan speed due to the closed-loop motor.
Durable rifle bearing ensures a long lifespan.
PWM support for intelligent speed control.
Classic and elegant be quiet! design.

Cons

Can reach up to 30.9 dB at maximum speed, which may be audible.
Primarily designed for high pressure; airflow might be lower than some pure airflow-focused fans.
Only one fan included in the pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mounting: Align the fan with the desired mounting points on your PC case, radiator, or heatsink. Use the included screws to secure the fan in place.
Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to the CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN, or SYS_FAN header on your motherboard. Ensure the connection is firm.
BIOS/Software Configuration: Access your motherboard's BIOS or use fan control software to set your preferred fan curve or enable PWM mode for automatic speed adjustment.

Compatibility:

Form Factor: Compatible with standard 120mm fan mounts found in most PC cases, CPU coolers, and radiators.
Motherboard Header: Requires a 4-pin PWM fan header on the motherboard for full functionality.
Voltage: Operates on a standard 12V system voltage, with a wider acceptable range of 5 - 13.2V.

Care:

Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and frame to maintain optimal airflow. Use a can of compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids directly on the fan.
Bearing: The rifle bearing is sealed and does not require user lubrication. Ensure no dust or debris enters the bearing area.
