be quiet! Light Wings LX 120mm PWM Reverse Black Fan

be quiet! Light Wings LX 120mm | Reverse Airflow ARGB Fan

The be quiet! Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM Reverse Black Computer case Fan 12 cm 1 pc(s) is designed for modern PC builds. It suits users building colour-rich ARGB systems. This fan features reversed blades for a cleaner look. It provides reliable cooling and impressive lighting. The design focuses on intake positions in cases.

Performance and Airflow Dynamics

Reversed fan blades optimise airflow for intake setups. This design pulls cool air into your case efficiently. The maximum airflow reaches 48.8 cfm. It also achieves 83 m³/h. The maximum air pressure is 1.04 mmH2O. This ensures air moves past obstructions like radiators. So, your components stay cooler.

Silent Operation with Rifle Bearing

Noise levels are kept low at 28.5 dB. This is at high rotational speed. The fan uses a rifle bearing. This bearing type offers longevity and quiet operation. The mean time to failure is 60,000 hours. This ensures long-term reliability. So, your system remains quiet under load.

PWM Control and Illumination

The fan supports 4-pin PWM headers. This allows speed control via your motherboard. Rotational speed maxes out at 1500 RPM. You can balance cooling and noise easily. The impeller is illuminated. It supports multi-colour ARGB lighting. This suits custom lighting setups. Ensure your motherboard has a compatible ARGB header.

Build Quality and Dimensions

The fan measures 120 x 120 x 25 mm. It fits standard ATX and mATX cases. The cable length is 0.5 m. This is sufficient for most routing needs. The product colour is black. It blends with most builds. Screws are included for installation.

Slim Specifications

Optimised for ARGB Case Intake

The reverse blade design is ideal for front or bottom intake. It pushes air into the case. This avoids turbulent airflow. The illuminated impeller adds visual flair. It works well in show-piece builds. However, verify case clearance. The 25 mm thickness is standard.

Reliable Cooling with Longevity

The rifle bearing ensures smooth operation. It reduces friction and noise. The MTTF is 60,000 hours. This indicates durable performance. The fan draws 3.8 W of power. It operates on 12 V. This is efficient for most systems.

Easy Integration and Control

A 3-pin connector is listed. However, PWM support is specified. Please verify the exact connector type. It may vary by batch. The cable is 0.5 m long. It connects easily to motherboard headers. Ensure your board has a 4-pin header for PWM.
