Summary
The new Silent Wings 4 (Pro) from be quiet! seamlessly continue what was already possible with the Silent Wings 3. The innovations are more likely to be found in the details, and that’s a good thing. The sealing of the rotor opening is as interesting as the different corners for support and decoupling. Whether you really need the speed range switch on the Pro models or not is up to you. Because you will hardly need more than 2000 rpm as a normal user. Unless you put these fans on radiators and wait for the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti Übersuper.
Of course, you can’t win the direct comparison against the Phanteks T30 in terms of volume flow and pressure, because the T30 is significantly thicker at 30 mm than the Silent Wings 4 with its rather slim 25 mm thickness. But in the normal speed range, the fans from be quiet! at the same speed or similar throughput is always somewhat quieter, which will certainly please many people. Whether you then also unleash the hurricane on the radiator up to 3000 rpm is a rather individual decision for the more expensive Pro version, which is otherwise identical in construction. Because let’s be honest: Anyone who really needs such a volume flow either has the radiators incorrectly dimensioned or is sitting in Dubai in the blazing sun laughing at us.
Conclusion
Three features in particular stick in your mind after the test: no frills, solid and thankfully without RGB Christmas tree lighting. Thus, the Silent Wings 4 could also be called Dark Wings 4, or Gentle Wings 2, because they are so unobtrusively unobtrusive and up to 1000 rpm they also flatter the ears as gentle creepers to such an extent that you think the computer is off. Although they already deliver well there, too. It only gets louder with counterpressure on thick radiators or at high speeds.
Starting at 25 euros, you can get a good price with the be quiet! Silent Wings 4 thoroughly honest and well-functioning premium fans, which starting at 25 euros are not cheap, but at least worth your money. Unfortunately, if we remember the Razer Kunai, this is not always a given. If it hadn’t been for the whole NDA drama with the artificially pushed suspense curve, I probably wouldn’t have had anything to complain about.
