Powerful Case Fan
Hi,
I need to beef up my case fans. Currently I am using whatever fans came with the Cooler Master ATC-111C-SX1. They're not doing a great job of sucking the hot air out. Any recommendations for fast/quiet'sh case fans? Thanks in advance. |

bigger the better really.
120mm's are the best but few cases use 120mm's 92mm are more popular for expensive case fans 80mm's are your standard noisy fans!. if you can fit some 120mm's then great - i use one for watercooling, and its very quiet for 12v 67cfm's. papst fan it is. if your going for smaller sizes (so you can use exsisting fan slots) then think about wiring them up in 7v mode (12v for ve+, 5v for the ve-) obviously you`ll loose the blow, but i run 4x 80mm switched between off 7v and 12v, and between 7 and 12v's theres maybe 5c difference. tim "Paul Samiljan" wrote in message ...

How does one wire up an 80mm in 7v mode? Can you recommend a good resource

red and adjoining black are 5v yellow and adjoining black 12v yellow grounded by the 5 v black gives you 7v,

correction I knew I would blow that 12v+yellow and 5v+red will give you 7v

It's a common mis-conception that adding more Extracting fans inside a computer automatically case decreases the CPU temperature.There are many factors to consider.I run an O/C XP1800 @ 143/143 and only have 1 back 80mm case fan pulling air out and an 80mm low RPM case fan modded on my HS for a quiet system.My under load temperatures are well within spec even under very heavy gaming loads.People who have 4 and 5 case fans usually have no idea about thermal cooling or case design. "When is a box not a box?when it's a computer case" I bought my case(Globalwin 802) because of the reviews on it's thermal design and build quality,not it's looks or other factors.it has not disappointed me. Adding too many fans can cause vortices that fight each other to remove the air and in turn cause turbulence that actually can defeat the object.This combined with untidy wiring and bad position of PCI cards can also cause heat build up.Some hard drives and video cards can run hot and making sure their cooling fans are not inhibited,if they have them,is also an issue.The use of round IDE cables can eliminate some heat problems by allowing better airflow compared with the flatter IDE cables which if twisted and in line of site of cooling fans can cause airflow restrictions. It's also a common fault that after a period of time people don't take off and clean their CPU HS and fan which can build up with crud.I do this around Spring of each year. I have no time for people who care about CPU idling temperatures as these mean nothing to me.It's the,"Under Load" temps that concern me and if they are well within spec then job done IMHO. People who have to get their CPU temps,"Supercool" in the thought that it will increase the life of the CPU or give them better performance are off-the-track as that CPU will most likely these days be redundant to the user and passed on well before it failed. My 10 penn'th. PS My whole cooling solution cost around £12 ukp for two 80 mm silent Evercool Case fans and HS for my CPU and a bit of cheap thermal paste and this present system has been running for 2 years 99% constant use with a cheap ECS K7S5A mother board and generic ram -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html It's a G not a J in gmx for email Free songs download, http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/nomessiahsmusic.htm |
