They also manage to hang well with the big boys from Noctua and Thermaltake, and sample variation was minimal. Helping further, and arguably the reason these are recommended by me, is that the relatively low airflow is paired with even lower relative noise output to where the new be quiet! Light Wings 120 mm high-speed fans are the best tested fans for performance/noise to date on TechPowerUp. However, the extended RPM and control ranges make up for this a lot. I mentioned already how these are not pure performers there are far better options there. I admittedly thought performance would be similar to the Silent Wings in terms of airflow and noise, possibly worse due to the compromise in blade size owing to the LED ring in the frame. Good things it isn't not cheap in the true sense of the word then. The Light Wings 120 doesn't do anything fancy, as with the recently seen LCP blades, wholly sealed magnetic levitation bearings, etc., and isn't inexpensive. After all, there are two separate cable-management options for the LED cable-daisy chain and hub-and there is even a small ring cutout at the back for even more RGB.

There were also several points during the course of the review where I felt be quiet! was prioritizing RGB lighting over performance. Well, it may not have been that much of a surprise given be quiet!'s history, including for the Silent Wings 3 that is closer in DNA to the regular version and only does well on a performance/noise basis. Imagine my surprise then that this supposedly better version for watercooling fared among the worst of the tested fans when it comes to pure performance as a radiator fan. As such, this review is not going to be representative of the standard version that has a lower maximum RPM, but completely different impeller with two fewer blades and a design more conducive for radiator fans than this more static-pressure optimized set. This way you could test fans under identical conditions.I've said it before during the course of this review and I will say it again: The be quiet! Light Wings 120 mm high-speed version is not just a faster version of the regular version. Or at least proper studio room to do all this. But to do that you'd need an anechoic chamber. Then profile them by ear and maybe using audio spectrometer to map the frequencies. So you'd mount a fan inside a holding stand and run it at certain speeds without restrictions and with restrictions (normal case mesh, high restriction like HDD cages and heavy restriction like a cooling radiator). I think only way would be to create a 'standardized' test of a fan frame with switchable restrictions. There is frankly no other easy way around this. Only way to really know it is to try it out. This is where all the grommets, ribs, bumps, cuts, rubberized surfaces and so forth shape the noise. Only problem here is, there is no standard way to measure this and pour it into text form. Low frequencies tend to be less annoying than high. People need to realize that dB's mean very little actually. SYS sensor allows me to ramp up fans only when case internal temp raises and is independent of the CPU heat. I find this useful because all my heat is generated on the intake, meaning all the heat is dumped inside the case. Or if SYS 1-3 are automatically run by SYS temp and not CPU (or is controllable and you have to adjust it). Check if Gigabyte by any chance offers this. You have to compensate for lower temperatures, so the curve needs to be adjusted at a lot lower temperatures (usually only up to 50вЊ where CPU curve goes up to 85вЊ in my case). Which means it'll ramp up slowly and run for longer until temps inside case go down. Where with SYS temperature, readings come from case internals.

When full load, it can spin fans fast and when load is gone, fans will drop in speed instantly. Difference being, CPU temp fluctuates much more. I can set it to adjust all fans per CPU temperature or per SYS temperature. ASUS had excellent presets of Full Speed, Normal and Quiet where MSI only has full user controlled curve, but has option to control the input temperature. I can't say for Gigabyte, but ASUS and MSI both have good fan controls.
