Verdict

be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly adequate budget 140mm fan, but the rifle bearing means it's not the one to buy for a decade of runtime.

Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A serviceable budget ARGB fan kit with a genuinely low noise profile, best bought for the bundled hub and remote rather than as a single premium upgrade.
