case fans

bigl2007 · 11-01-2006, 10:22 PM

i need a good case fan recommendation cuz my current case fans can max out at 1500 rpm and i want something more powerful to move the hotair off my cpu and tower on out the back door cuz my proccessor gets hot sometimes on hot days and my fans might not be enough cuz my room is like a greenhouse i was thinking about trying different fan to see if i have better luck like whats the best type of cooling for my tower using fans? or for my cpu cuz thats what keeps running hot and i applied the thermal paste on there correctly it just runs hot for some reason when i try to run video games on hot days

what size????

You really just need to look around at different fans and see how much air they push(CFM) Besides, I can't reccomend a fan to you without knowing the size of your current.

All in all, the speed really makes no difference. If the fan is efficient, or if it's a large fan, 1500RPMs would be plenty.

midtower atx it takes 120mm fans on front and back and on the side it takes a 80 mm fan

i think i like that one can it go higher then 1500 rpm's for real?

cuz mine is doing 1500 and it aint helping ot keep the proccessor cool inside the tower to push the hot air out ya know

Dude, some of the highest performace 120mm fans only go up to 2000RPMs... I mean I just found one that spins at 950RPMs max...

bigl2007 · 11-01-2006, 11:47 PM
