Product Information

Full details

The be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM high-speed fan is designed for PC builders seeking robust cooling performance and a sleek aesthetic for demanding systems, especially radiators. Its key benefit is delivering high air pressure with consistent operation, even under load. A potential caveat for some users might be its maximum rotational speed, which contributes to its performance but also its noise level at peak operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM fan?

Its primary advantage is its high static pressure, making it exceptionally effective for cooling radiators and heatsinks where air needs to be pushed forcefully through dense fins.

What does PWM support mean for this fan?

PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) support allows the fan's speed to be dynamically controlled by your motherboard or fan controller based on system temperature. This means it can run slower and quieter when your system is cool, and ramp up when needed for maximum performance.

What is the expected lifespan of this fan?

The fan is equipped with rifle bearing technology, which provides a long operational lifespan of up to 80,000 hours.

Can this fan be used in any computer case?

It is compatible with computer cases that have 140mm fan mounting points. Ensure your case supports this fan size.

What is the maximum airflow and air pressure?

The fan provides a maximum airflow of 122.6 m³/h (72.2 cfm) and a maximum air pressure of 2.44 mmH2O.

Is this fan suitable for a silent PC build?

While be quiet! fans are known for quiet operation, this is a high-speed model. At its maximum 1800 RPM, it produces 30.5 dB of noise. For a truly silent build, you might consider lower-RPM variants or adjust fan curves to prioritize silence over peak cooling.

How many fans are included in the package?

The product is sold as a single fan unit (Quantity per pack: 1 pc(s)).

Troubleshooting

Fan does not spin

Ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is securely seated in the motherboard or fan controller. Verify that the fan header is enabled and providing power in the system's BIOS/UEFI settings. Check if the fan is connected to a PWM header for variable speed control; if connected to a 3-pin header, it should run at full speed unless the header is set to a specific voltage profile.

Fan is noisy

At maximum speed (1800 RPM), the fan produces 30.5 dB of noise. Adjust fan curves in your BIOS/UEFI or fan control software to reduce speed under lighter loads. Ensure the fan is not vibrating against other components or the case; use rubber grommets or anti-vibration mounts if necessary.

Inconsistent fan speed

Confirm the fan is connected to a PWM header. Check the fan's speed-regulating motor for obstructions. Ensure your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI is updated to the latest version for optimal fan control compatibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent high static pressure for radiators and demanding components.
  • Consistent and stable operation due to speed-regulating motor.
  • Long lifespan of 80,000 hours thanks to rifle bearing technology.
  • PWM support for intelligent speed control.
  • Sleek, professional aesthetic that fits well in gaming PCs.

Cons

  • Can be audible at maximum RPM (30.5 dB noise level).
  • Performance might be overkill for standard, non-demanding builds.
  • Single fan in the pack, requiring additional purchases for multi-fan setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Mounting: Align the fan with the mounting holes on your computer case, radiator, or heatsink. Secure it using the included screws (4 included).
  2. Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to the appropriate fan header on your motherboard or fan controller.

Compatibility

  • Size: This is a 140mm fan, designed for 140mm mounting points. Ensure your case or cooler has compatible mounting spaces.
  • Power: Operates on a standard 12V system with a voltage range of 5V to 13.2V, compatible with most modern motherboards and power supplies.
  • PWM Control: Requires a 4-pin PWM fan header for variable speed control. If connected to a 3-pin header, it will run at full speed.

Care

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the fan blades and frame. Use a soft brush or compressed air. A slightly damp cloth can be used for stubborn dust, ensuring the fan is disconnected from power and is completely dry before re-powering.
  • Maintenance: The rifle bearing is designed for long life and typically requires no user maintenance.
