Right now I am thinking either the 80mm Tornado or Smartfan II(no panaflo sold here :( ). Anyways, i'mm leaning towards the tornado because I wanna oc a JIXHB really well. So with a tornado, am I asking for a deathwish (DEAFwish more like it)? Help me decide.

EDIT:

Alternatives will be appreciated too.

im using 2 smartfan 2's and they are really nice for me. they are noisy tho and as a result im making the switch to water for my auihb 2100+

smartfan2 all the way!!

If you get a tornado you could also get a rheosat so that you can turn it down a bit but that would work out alot more expencive.

DO you have the stacked on top of each other or something? or is 1 used as case fan.

i would get the smart fan II unless you get a rheostat with the tornado.

Go with a rheobus and the tornado, that way you can control all of your other case fans too. Plus it'll output more than the SM2 for when you really need the cooling.

I would also humbly suggest the Tornado with a rheostat.
That way you can have maximum cooling during heavy OCing
and have the ability to turn it down to have peace. Those
Sunon/Vantec Tornado are loud. :eek:

AllElectronics.com (http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=470015&item=RHE-15&type=store) has a nice heavy duty ceramic rheostat for $1.65.


Good luck. :)

Ditto to the above. The ideal route is a Tornado hooked up to a controller. If not, go with the SFII.
