Be-Quiet SilentWings USC 120mm

When developing the new generation of our housing-fan series SilentWingsUSC, two things were of particular importance to us: that they should run extremely quietly and at the same time achieve optimum airflow - an extremely tricky challenge.

And with the newly developed Ultra Silent Concept (USC), we have mastered this challenge. The USC comprises, amongst other things, two innovations from be quiet! that have a patent pending. In addition, the housing fan has a remarkable lifespan of almost 300,000 hours.

But, of course, our SilentWings exhibit other features, too. That's why the 120-mm SilentWings came out on top in a comparative test by PCGH, and as a result was awarded top product - another result of our work into which our knowledge and, more importantly, our entire passion goes.

The Ultra-Silent Concept (USC)
-Innovation: screwless anti-vibration fixtures and rubberised fan frame with patents pending.
-Effect: Quiet operation thanks to the reduction of vibrations and simple installation without tools.

-Innovation: High-airflow-performance design with flow-optimised fan blades on both sides, with a patent pending.
-Effect: Quiet operation and optimum airflow.

-Innovation: A high-quality IC controls the motor.
-Effect: Minimisation of electrical noises at a constantly high running smoothness.

The FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) bearing with copper core.
-Innovation: An optimised design.
-Effect: Quiet operation without mechanical friction. Lifespan of almost 300,000 hours. Improved and quicker heat conduction thanks to the use of copper core.

Other features.
-The auto-restart function.
-Effect: Automatic restart of the fan after a break in operation; avoids overheating and a power-fail restart of a computer system.

-The low 3.5-V initial voltage.
-Effect: Early cooling of the computer system.
