| 624753 | 2007-12-26 12:35:00 | Hi there wanting to get help Im looking at getting 3x 120mm fans for my case. Im not worryed about ones with lights in them as thay cost more and i already have 2 cold cotholdes in case. Not to worryed about how loud as i have a fan controllor. I found the 2 fans below What would be better or do you no of any good fans. www.cbcnz.com www.trademe.co.nz |

| 624756 | 2007-12-26 22:59:00 | 79 CFM iper minute is very high, a good amount of air is moved. But at 36dBa it is very loud. If you can sacrifice quietness with CFM, then go for Evercool. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 624757 | 2007-12-26 23:06:00 | Yeh Loud not worryed as at moment its loud running 4 80mm fans on full speed | bluezone (12434) | ||
| 624758 | 2007-12-27 01:29:00 | What kind of equipment have you got in your case, and what temps are you running at? 3 * 120mm fans is quite alot . |

| 624760 | 2007-12-27 02:12:00 | Meh 3x 120mm fans are overkill I reckon. I have my PC below with the overclocked 8800GTS and I've only got 2x 120mm fans. And you have an aftermarket CPU cooler. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 624761 | 2007-12-27 02:19:00 | Im assuming that those temps are idle, how much higher are your temps with intensive use? That CPU cooler of yours is MASSIVE, given you have applied it properly and have good general ventilation you shouldn't need 3 extra 120mm fans. Two side notes, You got a celeron??? !!! , instead of upping your ram why don't you get a P4 - the speed difference will be much more significant. secondly, is your processor 64bit , and are you using a 64bit OS, because otherwise all that RAM is going to be no use to your OS. |

| 624762 | 2007-12-27 02:20:00 | SO YOU THINK JUST A FRONT 120MM AND A REAR 120MM WILL DO ME FINE. i HAVE A SPACE FOR A 120MM SIDE FAN AND ALSO 3X 120MM FANS IN THE TOP OF CASE. i HAVE THE AC Ryan RadGrillz - Stripes 3x120 Aluminium Black ON THE TOP WITH JUST A FILTER IN EACH 120MM HOLE. NOT GOING TO INSTALL FANS IN THE TOP OF CASE. oNLY IN THE FRONT AND BACKE AND SIDE MAYBE DO I NEED THE SIDE ONE iT WOULD BLOW ON THE TOP OF THE CPU COOLER. www.legionenterprises.co.nz |
