The video provides an in-depth overview of building a high-performance PC using Be Quiet's new addressable RGB (ARGB) Light Wings fans. These fans feature PWM connectors, dual LED rings, and come in 120mm and 140mm sizes, available in standard and high-speed models. The three-fan packs include an ARGB hub for effective synchronization and reduced cable clutter, essential for clean setups. The presenter transitions to a PC build, starting with the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX case, outfitted with components like a high-end Dark Power 12 1000W power supply, a Silent Loop 2 AIO cooler, and an MSI MAG B550M motherboard with a Ryzen 9 5950X processor and Sapphire RX 6800 XT GPU.
The build process involves preparing the case, installing fans in optimal positions, setting up the power supply with flexible accessory cables, and positioning the motherboard and cooler. Important steps include orienting the PSU correctly while ensuring adequate ventilation and securing the motherboard with additional cooling considerations. Final adjustments are made to RGB lighting, panel installations, and setup refinements, highlighting the aesthetic and functional advantages of Be Quiet's new fan models. The video concludes by showcasing the completed setup, emphasizing effective cooling and visually striking RGB integration.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces a range of new addressable RGB fans from Be Quiet, called Lightwings. The fans come with PWM connectors, dual LED rings, and are available in 120mm and 140mm sizes. Lightwing triple packs include an ARGB hub for synchronizing up to six components and can connect to motherboards with 5V ARGB headers for software control. The fans support daisy-chaining for cleaner setups. There are two versions: a standard PWM model with low noise suitable as case fans, and a high-speed PWM model optimized for radiators or heatsinks. The presenter highlights the differences in fan blade counts between models and mentions Be Quiet’s other families of fans, drawing attention to the packaging’s lack of clear speed differentiation.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses Be Quiet’s new Light Wings fans, which are different from their existing families due to the addition of addressable RGB (ARGB). These fans are confirmed to be new models. The presenter explains the process of daisy-chaining RGB connectors using an included hub in a three-pack of fans, capable of handling up to six fans and reducing cable clutter.
Next, the focus shifts to unboxing and preparing components for a sponsored build, starting with the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX case, which includes three non-RGB Pure Wings fans. They also mention the Silent Loop 2 AIO cooler and a Dark Power 12 1000W power supply, accompanied by custom cables. The build utilizes a micro ATX MSI MAG B550M motherboard paired with a Ryzen 9 5950X and Sapphire RX 6800 XT GPU for a high-performance setup that requires effective cooling. Initial steps include preparing the case by removing the glass, top cover, back panel, and other accessories, while also removing the unnecessary drive cage.

In this segment, the presenter focuses on preparing a computer case for installation. They strip down the case to install RGB fans, placing three 140mm Light Wings fans—two at the front and one at the rear. They plan to install a liquid cooler in the roof and mention that the case can accommodate a maximum of five fans. The presenter then introduces the power supply, a high-end Dark Power 12 1000W unit. They note its high cost and discuss opting for more flexible accessory cables instead of the stock ones, which are respectable but less flexible. The power supply is fully modular, and the presenter ensures they have the SATA cables needed for the RGB hub and case lighting.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses a back bracket accessory labeled for overclocking, which is supposed to provide more power than the rated 1000 watts. The power supply unit (PSU) gets installed in the case, though its logo will not be visible due to the solid PSU cover. Considering different orientations for the PSU, the presenter decides on one that allows the fan to breathe properly through the filter, ensuring the logo isn’t upside down. The assembly then moves on to the motherboard, featuring a 16-core Ryzen 9 processor. The presenter highlights installing the Silent Loop 2 cooler by first removing stock fans and unnecessary Intel bracketry to fit the AMD mounting system, simplifying the process by doing it on a bench before placing the motherboard into the case.

In this part of the video, the presenter prepares and installs the components of a computer build. They install the motherboard into the case and secure it with screws, ensuring the spacing is correct. They mention adding an accessory cable to the power supply, bringing its total cost to £300. The presenter then focuses on installing the Silent Loop 2 cooler in the roof of the case, along with two Lightwings fans. They use a sample of thermal interface material (TIM) provided with the cooler, though they express concern about its adequacy for a Ryzen 9 processor. Finally, they prepare the pump assembly for installation.

In this part of the video, the speaker secures the graphics card and connects the necessary cables. They then power up the PC to check the RGB lighting, noting the abundance of rainbow colors. After adjusting the RGB to a red pattern that complements the graphics card, the speaker installs various panels and filters, including the front filter, top filter, front panel, and glass. They mention a minor issue with the front panel not snapping into place initially but eventually correcting it. The video’s end showcases Be Quiet’s new RGB-enabled Lightwings fans.
