be quiet! Light Wings White 140mm PWM
1. Introduction
be quiet! just yesterday announced a new "Color" for their Light Wings ARGB 120/140mm fans, the "White" version. We have already covered the Light Wings ARGB fans in a previous review, so today we will see what this new product looks like and how it will fit your needs.
The new Light Wings White series offers a new white color option for users looking to build color-oriented systems. All Light Wings White fans offer high-performance, low-noise operation with ARGB illumination and are equipped with one LED ring at the fan’s inlet and another narrow LED ring at the outlet. They are available in four different triple-pack versions: 120mm, 120mm high-speed, 140mm, and 140mm high-speed.
System builders looking at creating all-white builds have a stylish new option with Light Wings White: the fan, cable sleeve, and connector are fully executed in white, with a subtle black-on-gray logo to match the color scheme. Like their black counterparts, Light Wing White’s light rings are equipped with up to 20 individually addressable LEDs with a diffuser to spread the light in both directions.
This results in remarkably uniform illumination and impressive lighting effects. Light Wing White is exclusively available in triple packs, which include a white ARGB hub to enable the synchronization of up to six ARGB components in total. The fans can also be connected to motherboards with 5V ARGB headers and controlled by motherboard software.
Light Wings White fans are available in four versions. The PWM models, equipped with seven fan blades and a rotational speed up to 1.700 rpm (120mm) or 1.500 rpm (140mm) are ideally suited as case fans thanks to their low operating noise level. The PWM high-speed models with nine fan blades and up to 2.500 rpm (120mm) or 2.200 rpm (140mm) are optimized for use on radiators or heat sinks. The thick frame and the adapted impeller result in shorter fan blades with optimized angles for a balance between volume and performance for both models. The high-quality robust rifle bearing guarantees a long-lasting and trouble-free operation with a service life of 60,000 operating hours or 3 years. All Light Wings White fans have a PWM connector that can intelligently control the rotation speed directly via the motherboard.
