Product Information

Full details

The be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm fan is designed for PC enthusiasts seeking optimal airflow and air pressure, particularly for demanding builds and radiator setups. Its key benefit lies in its ability to move a significant amount of air while minimizing noise through innovative blade and frame design. A potential caveat for some users might be its 3-pin connector, which limits direct motherboard PWM control, though it still offers reliable performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum rotational speed of the Pure Wings 3 120mm fan?

The fan can reach a maximum rotational speed of 1600 RPM.

Does this fan support PWM speed control?

No, the Pure Wings 3 120mm fan features a 3-pin connector, which typically supports voltage-based speed control rather than PWM.

What is the expected lifespan of this fan?

Thanks to its rifle bearing technology, the fan has an estimated lifespan of up to 80,000 hours (MTTF).

What is the maximum airflow and air pressure?

It delivers a maximum airflow of 84.8 m³/h (49.9 cfm) and a maximum air pressure of 1.45 mmH2O.

Can I use this fan for radiator cooling?

Yes, its design is optimized for high airflow and air pressure, making it well-suited for radiator applications.

What are the dimensions of the fan?

The fan dimensions are 120mm (width) x 120mm (depth) x 25mm (height).

What is the noise level at maximum speed?

The noise level at high speed is rated at 25.5 dB.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Verify the 3-pin connector is securely seated in the motherboard fan header. Check if the motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings allow for fan operation on that specific header. Ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.

Fan is unusually noisy

Check for obstructions like loose cables hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. Clean dust from the fan blades and bearing.

Reduced airflow

Dust buildup on fan blades and in the connected component (like a radiator) can reduce airflow. Clean the fan and the component it's attached to. Check for any blockages in the path of the airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent airflow and air pressure for demanding applications.
Designed to minimize noise, even at higher speeds.
Rifle bearing provides a long operational lifespan.
Broad compatibility due to standard 120mm size.
Durable construction with a focus on reliability.

Cons

3-pin connector does not support PWM speed control directly from the motherboard.
Maximum noise level of 25.5 dB may be noticeable in very quiet environments.
Fan frame design, while optimized, is primarily functional and may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Mounting: Secure the fan to your case, radiator, or heatsink using the included screws. Ensure the airflow direction arrow on the fan frame points in the desired direction of airflow (typically towards components for intake or away from them for exhaust).
Connection: Connect the 3-pin fan cable to an available fan header on your motherboard. For 3-pin fans, speed control is typically managed through voltage regulation by the motherboard.

Compatibility:

Size: The 120mm (12cm) diameter is a standard size, compatible with most PC cases, CPU coolers, and radiators designed for 120mm fans.
Connector: Features a 3-pin fan connector. Ensure your motherboard has a compatible 3-pin header. If your motherboard only has 4-pin PWM headers, the 3-pin fan will still work, but speed control will be voltage-based.

Care:

Cleaning: Dust buildup can impede performance and increase noise. Periodically clean the fan blades and frame using a soft brush, compressed air, or a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the fan is disconnected from power before cleaning.
Inspection: Check for any physical damage or obstructions to the blades.
