welcome to my unboxing in first look at the be quiet! silent Wings 2 no
compromise silence and performance 120 mm fan virtually in audible at 15.7 DB
Max okay super long life fluid Dynamic bearing with copper core good stuff
highly effective air flow which has to do with the design of the rotors and
blades and all that good stuff noise absorbing anti vibration concept this I
want to check out three pin connector and fible installation options these all
sound like good things virtually and audible reduction of mechanical noise
newly developed vibration shoping M okay minimalization of electronic sound
sources due to a high quality IC motor controller see this matters this is the
kind of stuff that nobody actually spends money on when they're manufacturing their fans but it makes a
big difference three-year manufacturer warranty and lifespan at 25c of
300,000 hours which by the way is a lot that's like years like years and years
and they claim it operates at 4 to 14
volts DC a 4vt operation is very impressive very few fans will start out
at 4 volts um I don't know if it'll start at 4 volts actually but if it
operates at 4 volts at all that's still pretty good so the fluid Dynamic bearing
with the copper core improves heat conductivity and reduces mechanical
friction for a higher light span interesting use of high quality motor
controller leads to minim minimizing electronic
noise uh this is all the same stuff air slow optimized blades okay cool beans
removable anti vibration mountings flexible mounting options including
screwless installation in caseing components as well as mounting with screws okay so you can see it actually
doesn't come with like any way to mount
it see so what you have to do oh I love
these These are the best see 12vt 5V 7vt all black wires
perfect every fan should include this although then how would be quiet!
set themselves apart from the others well they'd have to find a new way and
that's how Innovation happens kids all right we got some rubber washers here we
got some plastic pins so I'm assuming
the washers have something to do with the
pins all right and then these seem to
have something to do with how to actually Mount the fan to something I'm
probably going to need a minute here guys this is actually pretty cool so
you've got a couple of different options you can see these can be turned around either way so you would screw a fan into
the hard plastic so that would be a hard Mount and then these other pieces are
for soft mounting so you use these plastic guys right here you put a washer
on it first okay so that goes against your case so that there's rubber
isolation between the hard plastic and your case and then the fan goes where it
goes and you just put this in here and then the spacing will be just right to
make it so there's not that much room for the metal and um you'll have a nice
soft vibration free Mount nice high quality rubber as well so it's got some
Flex to it which is where the anti vibration properties come from but it's also not just like cheesy and going to
break as soon as you use it a couple times which we have run into in the past
with uh with anti vibration mounts for f so I think that pretty much covers it
other than just plugging it in cuz I'm just sort of curious
now is it morbid curiosity
for me fans come down to how much motor noise is there
because
wow you can barely
hear you can actually barely hear the motor at
all until you get your ear almost right next to it very nice hard to hard to
subjectively judge sort of the air flow that it's pushing but they're quite well
regarded you can see just little things like the overall quality of the construction even though there's not
much to the outside rectangular frame um
it still doesn't Flex very much at all
which is uh which is outstanding like you look at uh you look at cheaper fans
like for example actually these logic's ones are
kind of outstanding in terms of flex but
ah yes so the OEM Corsair ones the old ones you can just kind of oh actually
those ones are not that bad either see if I can find find one you know I don't
really hold on to the really bad stuff but you just have to believe me anch
fans are decent too yeah you guys will just have to
trust me on this one oh no this one there even with this bracket on it see
that Flex that's a cheap
fan so there you go um that pretty much
wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the silent
Wings 2 fan from be quiet! don't forget to subscribe to L detectives from
unboxing reviews and other computer videos and also the sub leing on it is
excellent and it has a black connector and it will generally look awesome in
your high performance machine
