be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan Specification

The be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan is designed for users who prioritize a quiet computing environment without compromising on cooling efficiency. This fan features a 92mm form factor, ideal for compact builds and specific cooling needs. Its advanced design includes a high-grade rifle-bearing mechanism, ensuring long-lasting reliability and silent operation, with noise levels reaching a mere 15.7 dB(A) at maximum speed. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) capability provides dynamic speed adjustments, allowing the fan to operate between 1000 and 1800 RPM, optimizing cooling performance and noise levels based on system demand.

The fan blades are aerodynamically shaped to reduce turbulence and enhance airflow, delivering up to 44 CFM of air circulation. This efficient airflow is crucial for dissipating heat effectively within the system. The Shadow Wings 92mm fan also comes with anti-vibration mounting, minimizing the transfer of vibrations to the PC case and further reducing noise output. The fan frame is constructed to provide stability and ease of installation, fitting seamlessly into a variety of cases and cooling setups.

The sleek black design of the Shadow Wings 92mm fan complements modern PC aesthetics, while its robust construction ensures durability. Compatibility with standard 4-pin fan headers makes installation straightforward across a range of motherboards. Be quiet! has engineered this fan to provide a balance between performance and silence, making it an ideal choice for users looking to maintain a quiet yet efficient cooling solution in their PC builds.

be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan F.A.Q.

How do I properly install the be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan in my PC case?

To install the be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan, first ensure the airflow direction is correct by checking the small arrows on the fan frame. Secure the fan using the included screws or rubber mounts, connecting the PWM connector to the appropriate fan header on your motherboard.

What should I do if the fan is not spinning on startup?

Check if the fan is correctly connected to the motherboard or fan controller. Ensure the fan header is enabled in the BIOS and that the PWM settings are configured. If the issue persists, test the fan on another header or system to rule out hardware failure.

How can I reduce noise from the be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan?

Ensure the fan is properly mounted and not touching any cables. Use the included rubber mounts to minimize vibration. Adjust the fan speed settings in the BIOS or use fan control software to lower the RPM when full speed is not necessary.

Is it possible to clean the fan, and if so, how?

Yes, you can clean the fan. Power off your system and remove the fan. Use compressed air to blow away dust from the blades and frame. For stubborn dirt, gently wipe the blades with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents that could damage the fan.

What is the best way to set up fan curves for optimal performance?

Use your motherboard's BIOS or a software utility to create a fan curve. Set the fan to run at lower speeds during idle or low temperatures and gradually increase speed as the system temperature rises. This ensures quiet operation while maintaining cooling efficiency.

How can I test if the fan is running at the correct RPM?

Use monitoring software such as HWMonitor or your motherboard's proprietary software to check the fan speed. Compare the displayed RPM with the specifications in the fan's manual to verify it is within the expected range.

Can the fan be used for cooling other components besides the case?

Yes, the be quiet! Shadow Wings 92mm PWM Fan can be used to cool components like CPU heatsinks or radiators, provided they are compatible with a 92mm fan size. Ensure proper mounting and connection for effective cooling.

What should I consider when replacing the fan with a new one?

When replacing the fan, consider the airflow specification, noise level, and compatibility with your case or cooling solution. Ensure the replacement fan has similar or better performance metrics and fits the 92mm size requirement.

How do I troubleshoot if the fan is making unusual noises?

Inspect for any loose screws or obstructions in the fan blades. Check for cable interference. If the fan blades are clean and unobstructed, verify that the fan is not damaged and that it is securely mounted. Adjust the fan speed to see if the noise changes.

Is it normal for the fan to stop spinning at low temperatures?

Yes, this can be normal if the fan is configured to stop at low temperatures to reduce noise and power consumption. Ensure this behavior is consistent with your BIOS settings or fan control software configuration.
