be quiet! Light Wings 120mm PWM High Speed ARGB Fan BL073
The be quiet! Light Wings 120mm PWM High Speed ARGB Fan is designed for builders who want both visual impact and silent cooling. With 18 addressable RGB LEDs front and rear, nine optimized blades, and a noise level of just 31dB(A), it delivers high air pressure without sacrificing the quiet operation be quiet! is known for.
Why this product
ARGB lighting front and rear
18 addressable LEDs create a vibrant look from every angle, with the subtly lit rear ring complementing the bright front ring. Full colour and mode control via compatible RGB headers.
High static pressure for demanding builds
2.6 mm/H2O air pressure suits both air-cooled and water-cooled systems, even in dense configurations with multiple radiators or heatsinks.
Quiet at full speed
Reaches only 31dB(A) at maximum 2,500 rpm thanks to silence-optimized blade geometry and rifle bearing design.
PWM speed control
4-pin connector allows motherboards or fan controllers to adjust speed automatically based on system temperature, balancing noise and cooling as needed.
60,000-hour bearing life
Rifle bearing design is rated for 60,000 operating hours, backed by a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

- EAN4260052188774
- Fits any 120mm fan mount on cases, radiators, or heatsinks with standard four-mounting-hole pattern.
- PWM connector works directly into any 4-pin PWM header on modern motherboards or standalone fan controllers.
- ARGB connector (3-pin) plugs into any addressable RGB header on motherboards or third-party RGB controllers supporting 5V ARGB standard.
- Requires separate ARGB software or controller to set colours and modes; motherboard RGB software support varies by model.
Best for
- Showcase builds and tempered-glass cases
- Gaming systems where cooling ramps up during load
- Water-cooled loops needing high static pressure
- Users who want RGB without sacrificing acoustics
Trade-offs
- Systems without RGB headers. You will not be able to control the LEDs without a separate ARGB controller or hub.
- Builds requiring multiple fans on a single header. Each fan's ARGB connector must connect independently to an RGB header or daisy-chain hub.
- Silent-first builds with zero RGB preference. The ARGB hardware adds cost; a standard be quiet! 120mm fan may be more economical if lighting is unwanted.
Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed offers ARGB lighting at the front and rear. The subtly lit ring at the back combined with the bright one at the front make for a magnificent appearance from every angle. 18 ARGB LEDs give you many opportunities to individualize your PC build.
With a remarkably high air pressure of up to 2.6mm/H2O, Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed is the best choice for water-cooled and air-cooled systems alike. The nine airflow-optimized fan blades provide enough air pressure to make this fan perfect, even in demanding configurations.
A highly optimized impeller achieves the silent operation be quiet! is famous for. With a noise level of 31dB(A) at maximum fan speed, it proves that instead of being a replacement the lighting is an addon to silent and very powerful operation. All features combine to make Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed the fan of choice for silent show cases and gaming systems alike.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) allows compatible 4-pin controllers, including those built into many motherboards, to intelligently vary the speed and thus the noise level of the fan. With PWM the system can ramp up the cooling when it's needed, or operate in maximum quiet mode when it's not.
If you are looking for a high performance fan with an impressive look from every angle, Light Wings 120mm PWM high-speed is your fan of choice.
