Giveaway: What’s in the picture? Win a fan from BeQuiet!

Rules and terms of the giveaway

Back in 2019, we used to make an HWC puzzle series where we showed you a zoomed in photo of a PC component, and your role was to guess what it was. We will now return to this format, just for once. An unusual piece of hardware landed in our editorial office and we are interested in whether you can identify it from such a weird photo angle. We will send a BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM fan as a gift to one of you who comes with the correct answer.

Do you know what part of which component is captured in the photo in the article header? Yes, the depth of field is pretty shallow and there are relatively few indications, but at the same time there’s one specific and unique element. When you spot it, sooner or later you will find out what’s going on here.

You may end up as the winner of a 120mm fan from BeQuiet! – Silent Wings 3 PWM, which you can use as a processor cooler or in your PC case. We will draw one of the successful contestants and send them the fan.

BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM (120 mm)

Please send us the correct answer by email info@hwcooling.net with the subject HWC puzzle 2021. Then simply write the name of the hardware from the photo in this form: manufacturer plus the model designation. For example, Scythe Ninja 5.

The contest ends on Tuesday, April 13 2021 (11:59 pm) and the next day you will find out the correct answer and the name of the winner. Good luck and have fun! 🙂

BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 – A suitable successor to a legend

BeQuiet!, which I don’t need to introduce here, launched its top-end Dark Rock Elite cooler early this year. Along with it, the Dark Rock Pro 5 was also released, but it has remained somewhat in the shadow of its elite sibling, which I would like to correct today. I firmly believe that the fifth gen of the Dark Rock Pro will successfully build on the previous versions, which have always been known for their uncompromising cooling performance and quiet operation.

More and faster blades, BeQuiet! Pure Wings 3 (BL113)

Go for the variant with nine longer blades or seven shorter blades? That’s the question we’ll tackle in this test of the Pure Wings 3 140mm fan. In addition to the different geometries, you can also choose between different speed ranges with differently placed maximums. The high-speed variant has the upper hand, as expected, when it comes to needing to achieve the highest possible airflow. But it also excels in other situations.

BeQuiet! Silent Wings 4 (BL117): A white choice for your case

The Silent Wings (Pro) 4 represent the pinnacle of computer fan range. The non-Pro variants stand out especially in system positions and are not well suited for radiators. This is by design and in line with the sort of “micro-segmentation” of BeQuiet. In a white design, like the one tested, it will be quite difficult to find other 140 mm fans that are quieter at comparable airflow. Read more “BeQuiet! Silent Wings 4 (BL117): A white choice for your case” »
