BeQuiet just blew me away...

all right guys we're gonna be talking about a new product here from be quiet it actually came out last month in november i'm a little late to this one but uh nonetheless here we are so be quiet a brand that's been known for some of the most silent and best performing fans that you could get on the market has always kind of lacked one thing and that is any sort of flair well they've come out with their new lights here you'll never are fans here you never guess what they're called because they have lights in them you guessed it the rgb wings no light wings alright we're going to talk about them today we're going to take a look at them i'm curious as to how the lighting actually looks on them performance wise they should be pretty much identical in my opinion based on the specs on the box to the previous versions of their fans but with lights in them build redux creates pcs for gamers who want high frame rates without breaking the bank through build redux's website easily configure your pc and see how it's optimized for pc gaming performance it has build redux's goal to create the best gaming pc for any budget without cutting corners on the gaming quality and performance plus it's backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty so you're covered pick your budget pick your games and get build redux so we've got a couple of multi-packs here of the 120 millimeter pwm high speed as well as the 140 millimeter pwm it's funny how the 120 says high speed i guess maybe indicating that there are multiple speeds the 140 does not indicate that but in terms of the specs i'm going to read them from the box here i do not have the testing equipment to be able to verify the specs on the box but i can tell you their reputation has definitely held up uh when it comes to the specs and the performance of their fans and this is actually really hard to see it's like gray on black my old eyes have a hard time with this so the 120s are 2.6 millimeters of h2o yeah it's definitely got high static pressure so they're going to be great for anywhere you have to overcome resistance fan filters case fan locations obviously cooling towers radiators are going to pretty much work anywhere you need them this one's up to 2500 rpm though where it's 1 500 on the 140. so the high speed here is definitely like we want the performance we will sacrifice some sound but because of the blade design and we'll show them we take them out of the box it's not an intrusive chopping sound if you will the tone of fan noise is more important than the actual decibels of the fan noise if you really get down to what it is that you're hearing so in terms of airflow though we've got 52.3 to 88.86 cfm now the 140s on the other hand 1500 rpm uh we've got 56 to 95.14 cfm they're going to flow more air because they're bigger however in terms of pressure it is 1.49 millimeters of hto h2o so still good for radiators that's that's a great figure for radiators remember that is based on max speed by the way they are definitely going to be better suited for anywhere you need air flow also going to work really well on radiators now in terms of noise these at max speed are rated at 23.3 decibels remember that's open air testing so that means no resistance behind no resistance in front it's just the noise of the motor and the fan blades themselves you put them in a case with filters and radiators and you know heat sink heatsinks or fins they're going to be louder because there's more turbulent uh effect happening with that air going through the resistance and smoothing out that airflow it's going to make noise whereas the 120s here are rated uh noise level at 31 dba so they're louder but it's a 2500 rpm fan i'm gonna take a look at the 140s here right now oh we do have an argb hub i was curious as to the control on these um how it was going to work here because of the fact that i did bring my test bench out so i could plug them into the argb header so they are 5 volt argb which means they are going to work off of any sort of motherboard header or splitter but as you can see here you also get your argb hub we're going to have lighting on the back side it's kind of difficult to see here we'll get a close-up there are slits in the side of the cage here where lighting will show through and then obviously on the front we have a very bright ring here fan blade design you can see we've got these sort of ridges in here and it's these ridges on both sides of the blades it's actually making the blade themselves a lot less noisy when it comes to spinning through the air and it's these designs that have actually earned be quiet such a high reputation when it comes to being silent but also high performing often with fans you have to make a choice are they quiet or do they work and be quiet done a very good job of making a balance there so we take a look at the hub we have got ourselves a jumper so you don't have to worry about buying an argb fan splitter and the problem with that you could only split the argb signal so many times before you no longer have enough voltage being provided by that header to light up all of your fans i actually learned that the hard way when i did my in 928 build where i had 15 fans hooked up to one header and those were daisy chain remember the inwin fans were daisy chained and the very last fan at the end of the chain would just spaz out because it wasn't getting enough signal at that point because it was heating up along the way it's kind of like if you split a video signal too many times you get a lot of degradation down the line same thing happens with argb but what they've given us here is a sleeved it's kind of a rubber sleeving i'm not a fan of this rubber sleeving but be quiet absolutely loves this stuff but it is a standard argb pin out on the end so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to put this in my motherboard and this is now going to give us uh six come on get on there it's gonna give us six a argb ports using this hub and it is also powered by sata so that means that you're not going to get that signal degradation or power loss down the line like i said even though they're not daisy chained you're going to have plenty of power supplied to the hub and the leds for the fans without having any sort of weird funkiness happen like i mentioned now in terms of the argb though if you don't want to use that hub and you want the fans themselves to be clean more cleanly routed you can bundle up the wires this is a just a pigtail where you're having everything split evenly along the way so daisy chaining would assume that it goes to this fan then the next fan the next fan and that's not how pigtails work so in contrast the high performance fans because i'm the kind of person that would definitely opt for the high performance and i would be surprised it didn't have a 140 high performance as well let's uh plug in the 120 so that we can see what our noise difference is dude okay if i put the back side i wish the fan wire was a little longer i'm gonna put the back side up to my mic so you can hear the motor noise i'm gonna literally put it against my neck that moves a crap ton of air so it definitely moves a ton of air now in terms of noise they've got rubber vibration pads here on the mounts so obviously they're gonna uh be extremely quiet in terms of transferring vibration to anything mounted to whether it be a radiator or a case because once you have two surfaces that are mounted even though they'll be really tight any vibration that happens here will be transferred to the thing it's mounted to and the larger that is the bigger piece of metal um think of it as like when you take a a piece of sheet metal and you do that [Music] [Laughter] it just amplifies through the surface so if you have this mounted to a case or whatever and it's vibrating all over the place that case is going to amplify that sound it's the same reason why if you take a water block and mount it to a graphics card that's got coil wine it's louder with a water block because now you have those the water block touching the coils which are whining amplifying the sound through the water block no bit of a side rant there people always message me saying i put a water block on my graphics card that's coil winding really bad it's like no it was coil whining all along you just didn't hear it over the fans now that there's no fan noise and you have a big piece of metal attached to it you're hearing it uh just completely resonate through the metal so that's why these rubber mounts are on here but i'm actually really impressed with the noise on this this is the quietest 2500 millimeter fan that we have in stock rpm 2500 millimeter all right let me uh let's go ahead and start playing around with the rgb now and see what they look like so funny enough our asus aura controller on the motherboard just died fortunately our evga 380 ti has an argb header on the back of it so i've got the controller hooked up to that right now we'll plug in the 140 first and it is set to argb puke because you know our rgb puke because of the fact that that's how you can see all the colors if you will so now we'll plug in the 120 look at that so the front as you can see has a nice bright tasteful ring and then the back like i said it has those slits so that you still have some lighting that's going to show through uh if you're if you're looking at depending on how your case is oriented you might actually see the inside of the fan more than you see the front it's actually pretty bright i do like that they have some light shining through the back side though what i hate is when brands will put all their lighting on the front and then uh you can't see any of that lighting like you might see some like if you kind of look here you can kind of see some through the cage but not much at least this gets you some direct visibility with it so i mean it makes sense that be quiet would come out with an rgb fan rgb is one of those things that people just love to hate on because the marketing behind rgb is annoying but rgb itself is awesome i mean you have choice i have changed the colors in my system so many times based on just whatever mood i'm in that week or whatever i've changed between vaporwave remember initially my system was all white so i called it black ice because it was all black parts with with white lighting and clear coolant and it looked like ice in there and so i called it black ice but lately it's for the last few months it's been set up as vaporwave which is kind of that like kind of a purpley pink and teal color at least that's the way i see it blue yellow colorblind so it's still pretty in my eyes the only gripe i have honestly if i have to gripe about anything it's brands that have a a company color and that's fine you have a company color but when you put orange on the fan hub cover like this right the the front of the fan or you put it on the back side where you're gonna see it and color is an orange is nowhere in your scheme it's to me it limits your buyer it says okay well i'm not to buy the mango well i'm not building an orange system and although it really does get drowned out with the amount of lighting happening around it unless you're building something that has orange in it i feel like you're limiting your customer base it's the same gripe i've always had about everything gaming having red all over it so i i personally would have loved to have seen that been just an all-white be quiet or maybe even like a like a gray or something but by adding orange in there be quiet you're identifiable i mean everyone knows your designs they look great these these fan blades are amongst the best in the industry but the orange in my opinion one of the reasons why i won't be using these fans in my personal build i'm getting ready to do because i will just be bothered by knowing the orange is there i could make a sticker that just covers over this in fact i would totally do that if i was using these in a build i would take out a qriket and i would have a round sticker made that matches this or get some nice like machined one or something and put it on there and then cover up the logo entirely because if orange isn't part of my scheme i don't want the orange in there so there you go guys there's our unboxing and first look at the new light wings from be quiet building upon their legendary pure wings and silent wings designs you can get them all up to 2500 rpm performance wings they should just call them performance wings honestly uh because the the 120 2500 phil actually made me bring up the rpm to prove to him that it was at 2500 because he didn't believe it was at 2500 he thought that that header was actually lower than that and when i showed him that they were at 2500 his mind exploded and then i pulled it pulled it down to 55 duty cycle which is putting it right around 1 600 rpm or so and they completely went in audible you couldn't hear them at all so yeah phil and nick were over here just like wow feel this they were like having fun with it because you know if you can get the performance the speed and the quiet all in one package well then i guess you got to start looking at the be quiet light wings if you want the rgb anyway so there you go guys sound off down below is this kind of stuff important to you do you care about noise first or do you care about performance and rpm first sound off down the comments below how you shop for fans and i'm sure be quiet will be in the comments reading your guys's feedback and i'm going to need more of these in the studio though because i'm sure we're going to find a use for these absolutely so thanks for watching guys and as always we'll see you in the next one i got to put them away now
