be quiet! Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-Speed PC Case Fan | White | Triple-Pack | BL125

The rgb looks good and the fan speeds are amazing. When having the fans on normal speed they are not audible at all. It was easy to mount and no noticeable vibrations

I wanted to try a more "premium" brand fan on my CPU cooler, so I thought I'd give these Light Wings LX a try paired with my Thermalright SI-100. My SI-100 came with a TL-E12B fan (2000rpm, 27.7 dBA, 72.37 CFM, 2.87 mm H2O), so I thought this might be an interesting comparison, having very similar specifications to these from be quiet!. For reference, the TL-E12B is available individually from Amazon for $8.29 currently, or $9.89 for the TL-E12W-S V3 white with ARGB, which would be a direct competitor for this set of fans. There is also a 3-pack of the 1500rpm version (TL-C12CW-S X3) available for $13 ($4.30/fan) if you don't need the 2000rpm speed. I am using the SI-100 with a Ryzen 5 5600G in a Cooler Master NR200P. I set a fan curve in my BIOS and used the same profile for both fans, since the RPM ranges are very similar (2000rpm vs 2100rpm). With a simple multicore load on the CPU and only 50rpm lower than the Thermalright fan, the Light Wings LX was 2C warmer (71.5C with the Light Wings LX vs 69.4C with the TL-E12). I posted screenshots of the temps, along with the wattage. Room temp was the same between runs and CPU was allowed to cool down while powered off and swapping fans. Heatsink was not removed, only the fan was swapped to keep variables down. Pros -Look nice with RGB turned on -Slightly quieter at 75% PWM compared to Thermalright TL-E12 Cons -Performance seriously lacking compared to even a cheap Thermalright TL-E12 -Feel cheap and lightweight -No vibration dampening on the corners -No PWM sharing if you want to run multiple fans from the same header, only has ARGB sharing -No PWM splitter included in box Conclusion I am thoroughly not impressed with these fans. Are they ok? I guess. At double the price or more of competitors and coming from a premium brand like be quiet!, I expected a lot more. The value is not there, the performance is not there, the features are not there, and the construction quality is not there.

The media could not be loaded. These fans are quite nice, not the most premium I’ve used but definitely worth looking at. They spin very quietly at low speed but can move a lot of air at higher speeds without being exceedingly loud. The material quality feels great. I think the RGB is great as well, though I’ll note I usually have lights off or low brightness static so take my opinion with a grain of salt and rely on some photos/videos more. I have really liked be quiet! products of the several different types I’ve used and this is no exception. I think it’s a solid deal at the listed price for a three pack of really nice fans.

I installed these fans in the side of my Corsair 7000D case. Now because my case is huge and heavy, I can hardly hear the fans running at all. With a much smaller case I don't know how loud they would be. Hooked them up to a fan hub and can control the speeds without issue. The RGB lights look very good and compliment my other white fans. I usually run my fans at 55% to keep good airflow. RGB was easy to daisy chain together and connect to my AIO and other fans. They all work and stay synced without issue. I will be purchasing these for future builds.

Great set of fans. High mmH2O pressure for blowing through radiators. Has 3-pin plug for RGB lighting and PWM plug for system controlled fan speed. Also a daisy chain RGB plug to sync several RGB fans. I've owned 120mm fans from almost all the manufacturers over the years and although BeQuiet! is fairly new, they are some of the nicest fans available. Actual performance usually exceeds published specs. Well worth the investment for fans that will last several PC builds.
