FAQs
What is the warranty period for the be quiet! LIGHT WINGS LX fans?
The be quiet! LIGHT WINGS LX 120mm PWM High Speed fans come with a 3-year warranty period.
Can I control the RGB lighting without a compatible motherboard header?
Yes, if your motherboard lacks a 3-pin ARGB header, you can use a separate ARGB controller (sold separately) to manage the lighting effects.
What is the typical lifespan of the rifle bearing?
The rifle bearing is designed for longevity and provides an operating lifetime of 60,000 hours (MTBF).
How many fans are included in this pack?
This pack includes three 120mm PWM fans.
What is the maximum noise level of these fans?
At their maximum speed of 2100 RPM, the noise level is rated at 30.9 dB.
Are these fans suitable for radiators?
While they offer good static pressure, they are primarily designed as high-speed case fans. For demanding radiator performance, be quiet! offers specialized models like the Silent Wings Pro 4.
How do I connect multiple fans together?
The included ARGB connection cable features a daisy-chain option, allowing you to connect multiple Light Wings fans in series to a single ARGB header.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning
Verify the 4-pin PWM connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check if the fan header is receiving power (test with another fan or peripheral). Ensure the fan is not obstructed.
RGB lighting not working or incorrect color
Confirm the 3-pin ARGB connector is correctly seated on the motherboard or ARGB controller. Ensure your motherboard/controller software is set to control ARGB devices and that the correct device is selected. Try connecting to a different ARGB header.
Fan making unusual noise
Check for any obstructions like cables hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. If the noise persists at all speeds, it might indicate a bearing issue, contact support.
Fan speed not changing with PWM control
Ensure the fan is connected to a PWM header (usually labeled 'CPU_FAN' or 'CHA_FAN' with 4 pins). Check your motherboard's BIOS settings for fan control options and ensure PWM mode is enabled for the relevant header. Update motherboard BIOS if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mounting: Secure each fan to your computer case using the included 12 screws. Ensure the airflow direction arrows on the fan frame point towards the desired airflow path (usually towards the inside of the case for intake and out of the case for exhaust).
Fan Connector: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan connector to an available fan header on your motherboard. This allows for speed control based on system temperature.
LED Connector: Connect the 3-pin ARGB LED connector to a compatible ARGB header on your motherboard or an ARGB controller. The daisy-chain option allows you to connect multiple Light Wings fans in sequence using a single header.
Compatibility:
Fan Size: 120mm fans are compatible with most standard PC cases and CPU coolers that support this size.
Motherboard Headers: Requires a 4-pin PWM fan header for fan control and a 3-pin ARGB header for lighting.
Power: Operates within a voltage range of 5V to 13.2V, with a rated voltage of 12V.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly dust the fan blades and frame with a soft brush or compressed air to maintain optimal airflow and prevent dust buildup.
Bearing: The rifle bearing is sealed and does not require lubrication. Avoid disassembling the fan if possible, as this may affect performance and warranty.
Cables: Ensure all cables are neatly managed and not obstructing fan rotation.
