be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140mm, BL047, Cooling Fan

Yes, it is quite and have had no issues. Installed on case side panel for additional air intake.

About four years ago I built my own computer. I have a Corsair 300R case and from the get-go I used the stock fans that came preinstalled. About a year in one started to make a grinding noise and I replaced it with one of the Pure Wings 2 fans, and was left impressed right away with how easy it was to install the new fan as well as the low noise level they had at max RPM. The second time and more recently my front chassis fan was making a loud grinding noise as well (which may have definitely been the bearings going out) so I went with a brand I knew and bought another one of these fans. This time around it was just as easy although the screws were too big so I had to reuse the screws from the stock fan. Again, quiet again as always.I would very much recommend going with these fans if you want a middle-ground between quiet and affordable. Three years later with one of these fans and have had no problems, so hopefully the one I have just purchased and installed will also be the same. My only complaint is the pricing of these fans on Amazon, whereas other outlets offer them cheaper - except consider the fact Amazon would be the only place to get faster shipping.

It follows it's own admonition and stays nice and quiet, despite being on full most of the time. Moves a nice quantity of air. This brand had a good reputation, and definitely looks to deserve it.

These things are incredible. They are significantly quieter than both the Cooler Master JetFlo 120's they replaced (those things are disgustingly loud but move an incredible amount of air) and the Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition fans I have installed elsewhere in the case. With the JetFlo fans, my machine under loud was noticeably loud, even from the next room if I left the door open. Now I have to put my ear up to the front of the case to hear these fans, and even then, I hear the Corsair fans more. This is not at idle...this is running a Prime95 stress test. And temps on my OC'ed CPU still stayed under 65 degrees.I should have bought these years ago. I'm trying to resist the temptation to buy 3 more to replace my other fans. I also have the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 in my system, and be quiet! has made a believer out of me.Don't knock them because they are the least expensive be quiet! line. They still represent the brand exceptionally well.
