be quiet! Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Blades Case Fan - Black
IMPRESSIVE LIGHTING Lots of illumination possibilities Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black offer...IMPRESSIVE LIGHTING Lots of illumination possibilities 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 make for a magnificent appearance from every angle. 20 ARGB LEDs give you many opportunities to individualize your PC build. PERFECT CASE FAN Your choice as a side or bottom intake 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. VERY QUIET OPERATION Acclaimed be quiet! low noise level 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. VARIABLE FAN SPEED FUNCTION Adjusts the fan speed and associated noise level 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. Main Features 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
The be quiet! Light Wings 140mm PWM Reverse Black fan is designed for PC builders seeking impressive ARGB lighting, high airflow, and exceptionally quiet operation. It's ideal for showcase builds and gaming systems where both aesthetics and performance matter. A potential caveat is its reversed blade design, which is optimized for intake but may require specific placement for optimal results in all configurations. Key features include dual ARGB lighting, 7 silence-optimized reversed fan blades for high airflow, PWM speed control, and a rifle bearing for longevity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the reversed fan blades?
The reversed fan blades are optimized to direct airflow efficiently into the PC case, making them ideal for side or bottom intake positions to cool components like the GPU and motherboard.
Can I control the ARGB lighting effects?
Yes, the ARGB lighting can be controlled through compatible motherboard or fan controller software, allowing for customization of colors and effects via a 5V ARGB connection.
What is the expected lifespan of this fan?
The fan is equipped with a rifle bearing, which provides a long operating lifetime of up to 60,000 hours.
Is this fan suitable for exhaust configurations?
While it can be used as an exhaust fan, its reversed blade design is specifically optimized for intake. For exhaust, standard blade fans might offer better performance.
Does this fan require a specific motherboard header?
Yes, it requires a 4-pin PWM header for fan speed control and a 5V ARGB header for lighting synchronization. It is compatible with motherboards that provide these connections.
What is the maximum noise level of this fan?
The maximum noise level at full speed (1300 RPM) is 25.5dB(A), which is considered very quiet for a high-performance fan.
How many fans are included in a standard package?
The standard package for this product includes one fan.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning
Verify the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure the fan header is enabled in the BIOS and receiving power. Check if the fan's rotational speed is set too low in software or BIOS settings.
ARGB lights not working or incorrect color
Ensure the 4-pin ARGB connector is properly attached to a 5V ARGB header. Check your motherboard's or controller's software for correct ARGB settings and ensure the correct port is selected. Try a different ARGB header if available.
Fan is noisy
Confirm the fan is not vibrating against the case or cables. Check if the fan speed is set too high for your preference using PWM control in BIOS or software. Ensure there are no obstructions on the fan blades.
Reduced airflow or performance
Clean dust from the fan blades and ensure there are no blockages. Verify the fan is installed in the correct orientation for your desired airflow path (intake for this model).
Pros and Cons
Pros
Impressive and customizable ARGB lighting on front and rear.
High airflow optimized for case intake (side/bottom).
Very quiet operation, even at maximum speed.
PWM control for flexible speed and noise management.
Long operational lifespan due to rifle bearing.
Cons
Reversed blade design is primarily optimized for intake; may be less effective as exhaust.
Requires a compatible 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard or controller.
Single fan pack might necessitate purchasing multiples for a full setup.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mounting: Secure the fan to your PC case using the included screws. The reversed blade design is optimized for intake; typically, this means mounting on the bottom or side of the case facing inward.
Connection: Connect the 4-pin PWM connector to a compatible fan header on your motherboard or a fan controller. Connect the ARGB cable to a 5V ARGB header on your motherboard or controller.
Compatibility:
Fan Size: Compatible with any PC case or radiator that supports 140mm fans.
Motherboard Header: Requires a 4-pin PWM fan header for speed control and a 5V ARGB header for lighting synchronization.
Operating Voltage: Operates within a voltage range of 5V to 13.2V.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly dust the fan blades and housing with compressed air or a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids directly on the fan.
Bearing Maintenance: The rifle bearing is sealed and does not require user maintenance. Ensure the fan spins freely without obstructions.
