This fan gonna be enough?

[Exodus00]

Hey I'm building a computer for a friend, and dont trust stock heatsinks.. so I bought a thermalright AX-7 for them(I have the same in my computer only with a Vantech Tornado), But I was wondering if a Vantech Stealth Smart fan, with 27 CFM's would do the job... the heatsink is great... but I know 27 CFM's is nothing compared to the 84 CFM's that my fan puts out... will the fan be enough or should I shoot for 35 to 40 CFM's? (This computer will not be overclocked btw)

whats it cooling? should be good, but no promises if its a 200+ or higher...

oh woops.. its only an 1800+.. they wanted a cheap all purpose computer

hmm... I just replaced the dragon orb 3+ on my computer (xp 1800+) with an AX-7 with a vantec stealth. The temperatures are exactly the same, but the as3 hasn't cured yet so I'm very impressed. Right now I'm getting 37.5 idle, 43 load (I have great airflow, a fan in the side of the case only drops temp 1c).

you can go for 40 cfm, just get a panaflow 40cfm fan, i heard that they are fairly quiet.:beer:

I went from 38 fm to 27, I'm pretty impressed, considering the silver hasn't cured yet and I'm expecting a 2c or so drop.
