Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 PWM fan. Is it good?

[Bloodstorm]

I want to replace my AF140s and I'm leaning on this one. Is it good? I'm gonna connect 3 of it in the 4-pin fan headers of my Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 7.

They push 101m³/h air at a pressure of 1.008mmH²O

You AF140 pushes 115m³/h air at a pressure of 0.84mmH²O & 3 times the noise.

You'll be fine with these fans.

If you're looking for higher performance go with Phanteks or Noctua. They are a little bit louder than the BeQuiet but still quieter than the Corsairs while pushing more air and having more static pressure (and are usually around 5$ cheaper than the Silent Wings, you're paying for total silentness)

If temps were satisfying in your case so far and you want to go as quiet as possible, get the BeQuiets.

My only problem with the Noctua is the looks. lol! If only they create a black fan version( not industrial)...then I would go for it. What Phanteks fan would you recommend?

 

[Isokolon]

The one ending on XP (PH-F140XP I think)
Only recommended for vertical mounting.
If you're using a top exhaust, go with the BeQuiet.

@Bloodstorm Do you plan to use SW3 just as case fans ?

 

[Bloodstorm]

Yes I plan to buy new case fans. Or do you think Im already good with the AF140s? It performs very well for me. I just read reviews that PWM fans are better. Corsair's ML is not an option since its so expensive and I dont know if its performance is great for its price.

Personally I don't like PWM fans.
Especially with the GA Gaming 7 you can control every 3-pin fan quite comfortably.

While I don't like the AF140 due to their noise levels and poor performance, if they're alright with you and get your temps where they should be, just stay with them.
