AI-Powered CPU Fans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

be quiet! Presented the 'Zero Wings AI' Powered by its FANOS AI

— March 30, 2023 — Tech
'be quiet!,' the company most known for its DIY PC parts, specializing in cases and fans, announced the 'Zero Wings AI' chassis fans. These fans are controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm titled 'FANOS AI.' This AI combines with 'Controller Airflow Technology' (CAT) to optimize the airflow within a PC case, ensuring that the hottest-running PC parts receive the coldest air possible.

The company confirmed that these Zero Wings AI fans do not require any additional hardware and simply connect via PWM ports similar to any other 120mm chassis fan. Despite this, be quiet! claims that these fans will last longer, reduce internal temperatures of a computer, and are multipurpose, as they can be set to favor GPU temperature, for example.

Lastly, be quiet!'s Zero Wings AI fans can be configured in 'Swarm' mode where multiple fans are used and set to the same airflow, optimizing a case's cooling solution even further.
