be quiet! some days ago announced two new additions to its Light Wings fan series, the Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse and Light Wings LX 120mm PWM Reverse. These new reverse-flow fans are designed for optimized airflow in cases with inverted layouts, delivering improved cooling performance while maintaining near-silent operation and high-quality standards. Both fan series feature vibrant ARGB illumination and are available in black and white.

Both the Light Wings Reverse and Light Wings LX Reverse feature 20 individually addressable LEDs, the Light Wings Reverse includes dual light rings for uniform illumination from both the front and rear. Meanwhile, the Light Wings LX Reverse models boast 16 ARGB LEDs integrated into the fan blades, creating an immersive lighting effect from multiple angles. All models are compatible with 5V ARGB headers and can be synchronized through motherboard software, while ARGB daisy-chaining.

Both reverse-flow series cater to different aesthetic and cooling requirements. The Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse, which was originally designed for use in Light Base 900 FX cases, runs at a maximum fan speed of 1300 rpm with an extremely low noise level of 25.5 dB(A). The Light Wings LX 120mm PWM Reverse, which can be found in Light Base 600 LX cases, has a maximum fan speed of 1500 rpm at an impressively low noise level of 28.5 dB(A).

Both Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse and Light Wings 120mm PWM LX Reverse feature robust rifle-bearing technology, ensuring a lifespan of up to 60,000 hours. Every model includes a PWM connector for intelligent speed control, adapting seamlessly to the cooling demands of any system.

The new reverse-flow Light Wings will be available in black and white variants from April 8 at a suggested retail price of €27.50 / $34.90 / £24.99 (Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse) and €18.90 / $22.90 / £14.99 (Light Wings LX 120mm PWM Reverse).

- Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black

Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black offers impressive illumination for a vibrant unique look, strong performance, and quiet operation with efficient cooling.

• 7 silence-optimized and reversed fan blades for high airflow and low noise-generating turbulences
• Reversed fan blades are ideal as side or bottom intake
• ARGB lighting on front and rear
• Multiple colors and modes for an individual look thanks to 20 LEDs
• Very quiet operation with max. 25.5dB(A)
• Long life rifle-bearing gives an operating lifetime of 60,000 hours
• 3-year manufacturer’s warranty

Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black offers ARGB lighting at the front and rear. The subtly lit ring at the back combined with the bright one at the front. 20 ARGB LEDs give you many opportunities to individualize your PC build.

With optimization for maximum airflow, Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black is the right choice for any case configuration that demands high cooling performance. Its 7 airflow-optimized and reversed fan blades not only reduce noise-generating turbulences but also ensure Light Wings 140mm PWM provides the performance that is needed, even in demanding configurations.

A highly optimized impeller achieves the silent operation be quiet! is famous for. With a noise level of 25.5dB(A) at maximum fan speed, it proves that instead of being a replacement the lighting is an addon to very silent and powerful operation. All features combine to make Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black the fan of choice for silent show cases and gaming systems alike.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) allows compatible 4-pin controllers, including those built into many motherboards, to intelligently vary the speed and thus the noise level of the fan. With PWM the system can ramp up the cooling when it’s needed, or operate in maximum quiet mode when it’s not.

This model aims for the be quiet! Light Light Base 900LX case as it packs 140mm size and reversed fan blades that can be used either as side or bottom intake. The product has 140 x 25 x 140 Dimensions (L x W x H), (mm) and weights including fixed cable 241gr.

It packs a Rifle bearing technology and includes a 4-pole motor fan. According to the official specifications, the fan speed at 100% PWM / 12V is 1300rpm, while noise levels are well controlled with 25.5db(A) with 100% PWM / 12V. Airflow numbers also matter (51.4 CFM / 87.3m3/h) and the air pressure with 100% PWM reaches 1.1mm H2O.

The product also includes a rather 4-pin PWM 500mm long cable, while the ARGB connector has a 5V 3-pin layout. The lifespan reaches around 60.000h at 25 Celsius, which should be enough. Retail prices come at €27.50 / $34.90 / £24.99 and users can be assured to have a great 3-year warranty.

The retail box is large hence the 140mm dimensions. The reverse function is clearly stated at the front of the box.

Opening the box unveils the 140mm fan and its contents, which aren't much, just four screws to secure the fan into the case.

The fan has both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB cables for connecting with your motherboard.
