This article covers be quiet! ケースファン LIGHT WINGS 140mm PWM High Speed 2200rpm ブラック.
Overview
The be quiet! LIGHT WINGS series has earned a strong reputation for combining silent operation with stunning ARGB illumination. The LIGHT WINGS 140mm PWM High Speed 2200rpm Black is the high-speed variant, reaching up to 2200 RPM for serious cooling performance. Despite the high speed, it maintains a noise level of just 31 dB(A) thanks to nine silent-optimized blades and a rifle bearing. This fan features 18 LEDs arranged in a ring, creating a smooth and vibrant lighting effect. It connects to a standard 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard, allowing full synchronization with other RGB components. The 4-pin PWM connector ensures precise speed control from your motherboard or fan controller. Positioned in the mid-range segment, this fan sits between be quiet!'s entry-level Pure Wings 2 and premium Silent Wings 4 lines. It offers an excellent balance of performance, silence, and aesthetics, making it a strong choice for builders who want both cooling and visual appeal without breaking the bank.
Compatibility Guide
Standard 140mm x 25mm form factor fits most PC cases with 140mm fan mounts. 4-pin PWM connector for automatic speed control via motherboard or fan hub. 3-pin (5V) ARGB header required for lighting control. If your motherboard lacks one, an optional ARGB controller is needed. Suitable for radiator mounting (140mm or larger) – the 25mm thickness is compatible with most AIO and custom loop radiators. * Check case clearance for push-pull configurations, especially in compact cases.
Product Info
Release: Late 2021 Price: Approximately ¥4,020 ( reference) Warranty: 3 years Retail channels: , major electronics retailers, PC specialty stores Rated voltage: 12V, Power consumption: 4.7W Max speed: 2200 RPM, Noise: 31 dB(A) Bearing: Rifle bearing (60,000 hours lifespan) Material: Polycarbonate Market positioning is mid-range. It offers a compelling mix of ARGB lighting, quiet operation, and high-speed performance at a reasonable price point, filling the gap between budget and premium fan lines.
Best Use Cases
Silent PC builders: At max speed, noise is only 31 dB(A) – very quiet for a 2200 RPM fan. For near-silent operation at lower loads, PWM control keeps it inaudible. However, if absolute silence is your goal, consider the Low Speed variant (1500 RPM). RGB enthusiasts: The ring-shaped ARGB lighting with 18 LEDs creates a clean, modern look. It syncs with major motherboard RGB ecosystems (ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light) for a cohesive build. Radiator cooling: The high static pressure from 2200 RPM makes this fan effective on radiators. It works well for both intake and exhaust on 140mm or larger radiators. Be aware that radiator resistance may increase noise slightly. Budget-conscious performance seekers: At around ¥4,000, this fan delivers be quiet! quality and ARGB at a competitive price. If you don't need RGB, the Pure Wings 2 series offers similar performance for less.
Things to Consider
At full 2200 RPM, the fan produces 31 dB(A) – audible but not intrusive. For silent operation, use PWM to keep speeds lower under light loads. ARGB control requires a 3-pin 5V header. Older motherboards may lack this, requiring an additional controller. Some older motherboards only support DC voltage control for fans. In that case, the fan will run at a fixed speed (likely full speed) unless you use a PWM fan hub. Competitors include Noctua NF-A14 (quieter, no RGB) and Corsair ML140 (magnetic levitation bearing, higher price). The LIGHT WINGS offers a better balance of RGB and silence for the price. ## FAQ
Q: Can I use this fan on a radiator? A: Yes, it fits standard 140mm radiators. The 25mm thickness is compatible with most AIO and custom loop radiators. However, the high-speed model may produce more noise when pushing through dense radiator fins. Q: What do I need for ARGB control? A: A 3-pin (5V) ARGB header on your motherboard is required. If your board lacks one, you can use a separate ARGB controller (e.g., be quiet! ARGB Controller). The fan works with ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and other major RGB software. Q: How long does this fan last? A: The rifle bearing is rated for 60,000 hours of continuous operation (about 6.8 years at 24/7 use). be quiet! backs it with a 3-year warranty.
