The maker's table prints the model without high-speed. The figures match the Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM high-speed fan (BL097). The plain Silent Wings 4 140mm PWM fan spins to 1170 rpm only. The maker's cooler noise row (34.3 dB(A) at 100% rpm, for the whole cooler) is not a per-fan value.

Three fans at 29.3 dB(A) add up to about 34 dB(A), which fits. The maker's fan data sheet itself is on bequiet.com and was not opened.

Source5Reviewclub386.comRead 15 October 2026Club386 (Damien Mason, 2025-02-11). Intel Core i9-13900K, Cinebench loads at 253 W and 153 W power modes, fans fixed at 600, 1200 and 1900 rpm (maximum). The temperatures are the table values per rpm, which the How We Test page says are CPU-Z averages. Noise is from a Tadeto sound level meter. The 600 rpm noise is published as <30.2 and is stored as 30.2. The ambient temperature, bench or case, paste, meter distance and the pump setting are not stated. The noise table has one column per rpm, so the same noise applies to the 253 W and 153 W rows. The review prints the rows without a Cinebench version in the temperature table.6Reviewclub386.com/how-we-testRead 15 October 2026Cooling section: Core i9-13900K reference CPU, CPU-Z average temperatures, Tadeto sound level meter, Cinebench at 600 rpm, 1,200 rpm and max rpm across 153 W and 253 W modes. Ambient is only said to be kept in line with earlier reviews.8Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/coolers/84Read 15 October 2026Cybenetics Cooling Solutions Test Protocol, revision 1.8 procedure. Ambient held at 25 C plus or minus 0.5 C in a climate chamber, open test bench (Cooler Master Test Bench for AM5 with an ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus, DimasTech Bench for LGA1851 with an ASRock Z890 Taichi), Prime95 Small FFTs, pump at full speed in every row. Fans were set to reach each normalized noise level at 1 m, or 100%. CPU power is measured at the EPS connectors. The protocol states Arctic MX-4 paste for all tests. Mount: Default. The report publishes no temperature above ambient. The AM5 rows use the Ryzen 9 7900X with PBO enabled and the LGA1851 rows the Core Ultra 9 285K in Intel default mode. The Intel 35 dB(A) row (86.8 C) and the 100% row (78.6 C) are 8 C apart, while the fans only differ by about 200 rpm. The values are stored as printed.
