hey guys

i know ive had a lot of these types of posts l8ly

but this is about fans, and not squeaking or glass

so neway
i saw this fan at newegg.com which is wher most of the parts for my computer came from

all of em except the HD i think


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999612

80+ CFM of air moved by an 80 MM

i think im gonna replace all or most of my remaining 6 fans with these


any advice as to other fans?

i hope to reduce that by 50%

but, i DO NOT intend to try water cooling

i think to do that u need a level of expertise that i do NOT have

maybe l8r tho, as im thinkin about becoming a computer hardware technician and maybe getting a degree in computer science

Anything more than that and it's basicaly counterproductive, runs up your electric bill and stresses out your power supply. As for your 141 degree temp, that's way too hot unless you have an Intel. Do yourself a favor, ditch some fans and get an AMD based computer.

Status: offline 		I have a winchester cored 3000+, it runs at 115 degress F playing WitP or any other game. I know a ton of others who have similar computers and they all run around the same ( low 40s C under load) If I were you, instead of worrying about the fans and clean up the messy wires. Do you have SATA drives? if not, replace your ribbons with round cables.

Status: offline 		case cooling has an effect on your cpu temps, but if your heatsink/fan isn't good enough you are asking for trouble. Some folks prefer the Zalman:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=browse&Manufactory=1647&Category=11

I don't really have an opinion on brand, except that you want an acceptable air flow to noise ratio. One thing I do have an opinion on is that Newegg is the place to shop, good luck.

you have to understand that heatsink/fans are platform specific, in that example you linked, look at the compatability, it won't work with your proc, Marky.

Status: offline 		2 80mm on front and 2 on back for me, and things are just peachy. My CPU heatsink is a Coolermaster 7 or soemthing like that. The one that is kind big, has the sideways flat bladed fan with a copper heatsink. It works excellent.

I agree with whoever said more than 2 or 4 fans is overkill, since you'll make the powersupply overwork and do more harm than good.
