be quiet! Silent Wings 4/Silent Wings Pro 4 120mm Review

How Much Does it Cost?

With all eight model variants now available to purchase with retailers, be quiet! has confirmed the following MSRPs consumers should expect to see:

Performance

Now admittedly, these are not cheap fans. And alas, it doesn’t appear that (at least at the time of writing) be quiet! plans to release any kind of bundle kit deals. Lest we forget though that these are not generic products! – These are, quite literally, about as good as off-the-shelf cooling fans get. In fact, I’d even potentially argue (at the risk of possibly pleasing neither company for the comparison) that these may have even kicked Noctua off this particular market perch as the ‘premium’ option.

I mean, can we just take a moment to appreciate the CFM on the Silent Wings Pro 4. 83.9 is a ridiculously huge figure. And, of course, no to mention the 3,000 RPM that makes it happen. – These are numbers more commonly associated with industrial-grade products, and bear in mind that these are commercially available for all, right now!

Should I Buy One?

I believe that the Silent Wings 4 and Silent Wings Pro 4 fans are almost certainly going to be of the most interest to high-end/enthusiast users. For as absolutely amazing as their performance might be, their price point is too high to warrant a casual purchase from the average consumer who’s either looking for something cheap and cheerful or some kind of ARGB emblazoned product.

For people who like ultra-high levels of performance though, maybe custom loop enthusiasts, or perhaps just those who enjoy overclocking, these are going to be like Ambrosia of the Gods. I honestly think that in terms of extreme performance and what users can potentially achieve with the Silent Wings 4/Pro, these are the best consumer fans money can buy right now!

Pros

Unbelievably high levels of cooling performance
be quiet! maintains the sleek and stylish aesthetic that would make these fans look good in (or on) anything
A legitimate, tangible, and useful number of upgrades on the prior Silent Wings 3 models
Masses of variants to choose from to suit all requirements (if you can though, spend extra and get the Pro’s)
Quite possibly the best consumer fans money can buy right now!
