That whas a pretty exspensive fan then. Quality often costs, but you on the other hand had got a reliable fan that will serve you well for a long time.

He, he, he!

If you can't get the fan I linked to? Look at any 80 mm that have a cfm at 35 or more and have a db, noise raiting that are under 30. Likely such a fan will have an rpm up to 1600.

Wich web shops do you normally buy computer hardware from?
Please link to them.

Btw. here is one fan that might suit you?

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Antec-TriCool-80mm-Blue-LED-Case-Fan/15229267

34 CFM and 30 db noise level at the highest setting.

I purchased the r9 270 and cx600 from amazon.com
since the FAN doesn't cost that much so i was thinking its kinda lame purchasing it from international sites and paying shipping + custom.

domestic sites include : ebay.in
amazon.in
flipkart.com
Snapdeal.com



edit: Found the antec one that u suggested.. here its being sold for around 35$

If you're going for more just looks get a couple of these. Not sure if this has been addressed but the front (especially lower on the front) should be your intake and then the top and back should be exhaust. It's also better to have more intake and less exhaust as having too many exhaust fans will just draw dust in to your system since the intake fans won't provide enough air for them and it will just pull air in from every direction of the case. This isn't a major issue but if you've got an odd number of fans and you have space, best to have more on intake.

Bare minimum for any computer should be one intake on the lower front and one exhaust on the top back.

Also: This may be irrelevant to you as I don't know your case, but fans on the side panel aren't as functional as you'd probably think but should be used as intake typically. If you had a lot of fan slots I'd populate the others first before using your side one. I just have a side fan because it's blue and lights up my case nicely.

Should work. Blue LED. They're also offered in different colors.

Ironically this is the one that i was planning to purchase and was pointing towards this one only when i was talking about 21.8 CFM :D

My case can afford 3 fans in total.
One on the back side.. 120mm- already purchased Cooler Master xtraflo- exhaust
2 on the cabinet side (the detachable one) - 80mm x 2
Out of these 2 i already have one which came with the cabinet itself. (I don't think its of much use though!)
Now going for this one which u recommended..

Should i fix the old one in such a way so that it sucks the air into the cabinet? And the other one (about to be ordered) as exhaust??

That depends? What cpu and at what speed do you have?

Download the AIDA 64 stress test and set it to just test the cpu for 1 hour. If you are getting over 60 Celsius? Shut down the test! If your cpu get 50 C or lower during the test? Then the only real reasons to swap the cpu cooler, would be for better cooling during the summer months and a lower noise level. Or maybe for overclocking the cpu?
Aida 64, will stress the cpu more than normal computing & gaming under load.

You can uninstall this test if you want? in Windows control panel.

Not good!

But have you cleaned the heatsink from dust lately?


If it's clean? You could start with getting some new thermal grease like Arctic Cooling Ceramique 2. ( I prefer this as it's not electrical conductive as Arctic silver 5 ) And some isoprophyl alcohol for the cleaning of the old thermal paste.

Then run the computer for a while to soften up the present grease.
Then shut down and unplug the computer.

2. Then unplug the cpu fan from the motherboard cpu fan header. And then carefully remove the cpu cooler / heatsink.

3. Clean the base of the heatsink and the cpu throughout from the old grease using a lint free cloth and then just moister the cloth with the alcohol. Avoid getting any of the Isoprophyl alcohol on the motherboard. A piece of a coffee filter will work too.

4. Apply the new grease this way:

5. Put everything back. DO NOT! forget to connect the cpu fan to the motherboard!


OR if that wont help? Get the CoolerMaster TX 3 cooler. It's pretty simple to install as you wont need to remove the motherboard. But first check the cpu socket compability before you order.

You will still have to clean the cpu and apply the new thermal grease that comes with the cooler though.
