Whisper-Quiet Performance for Demanding Systems
The Silent Wings 4 series sets a new benchmark for quiet computing. Its 6-pole motor design provides smoother operation and reduced vibration compared to standard 4-pole designs, while the Fluid Dynamic Bearing ensures silent, long-lasting performance. The anti-vibration rubber corners eliminate transfer of motor noise to your case, making this fan virtually undetectable even at maximum speed.
Engineered Airflow for Maximum Cooling
Optimised fan blades create superior static pressure and airflow efficiency. With 48.7 CFM of maximum airflow and 1.79 mmH2O of pressure, this 120mm fan handles both high-airflow and high-pressure applications. Whether you’re cooling a CPU heatsink, GPU, or creating positive case pressure, the aerodynamic design maintains excellent performance across the entire speed range.
PWM Control for Intelligent Speed Management
Pulse Width Modulation support allows your motherboard to control fan speed dynamically based on system temperature. This means the fan runs at minimal RPM during light loads for near-silent operation, then ramps up automatically when cooling demands increase. The 4-pin connector ensures full compatibility with modern PWM fan headers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this fan quieter than standard fans?
A: The 6-pole motor, Fluid Dynamic Bearing, and anti-vibration rubber corners work together to minimise noise across all operating speeds.
Q: Can I use this fan without PWM control?
A: Yes, the fan will run at full speed when connected to a standard 4-pin connector, though PWM control is recommended for optimal noise performance.
Q: How long will this fan last?
A: With a 300,000-hour Mean Time Between Failures rating, this fan is designed to operate for many years under normal conditions.
Q: Is this fan suitable for radiator mounting?
A: Yes, the high static pressure rating makes it ideal for radiator and heatsink applications where pushing air through restrictive surfaces is required.
