What case fans are best? What about HSF?

[deviantshadow]

Ive got a pretty big case. Its the alienware-type hydraulic one with the slide down front. The CPU is running at 45c idle. :eek: :eek: It is way to hot. I need to move a lot of air. Currently, I have two small YS-Tech fans blowing into the case from the back and one larger fan in the front. I know I dont have any going out, yes, but... fans simply dont "suck" air out as well as they blow it...

If i were to put in a top blowhole, what fan should I use? Should i change the two in the back for something more high performance? Like what? I dont care about noise. I want to push a ton of air through this case. Is it true delta fans are the best?

Ive also got a chrome orb hsf that really sucks... what is the best HSF at the moment?

any suggestions are helpful.

thanks! :cool:

I got a batch of Superred 80mm fans. Man I love those things. Not too loud, they move alot of air, and their cheap.

I like the Sunnon HO for standard 80mm case fans, if your doing a top blowhole and have room go with a 120mm <and finger guard of course :)> they'll move tons of air without a lot of noise...
As for heatsinks, performance/price/noise all considered the PAL 8045 (yeah i just got one, lol) is probably one of the best going...the SK6 works well but its loud with the delta screamer and the swifty's are a bit pricey for my taste

intake fans: bottom
Exhaust fans: top

best fan? Swiftech prolly. But you better sell your caer be4 you buy that puppy

best case fan? Hehe, Comair Rotron. 8 bucks US. Pushes 235 CFM air. unfortunately the only place that sold them, you guys ran them dry and I couldn't get myself one

Panaflo are good case fans but quite expensive you should stay away from orbs if your running socket cpu...
Their just basically good for Slot's because they're cheap/ok performance for it ..

Try to get a Gladiator II ... or Swiftech :))

you are correct but I am a deal ***** you can get a bunch of cheap fans!

the panaflo Medium is really nice and quiet move 90cfm and only costs 6.50 with grill at allelectronics.com look for the 120mm fan and you will find it! other good fans are YS, Papst, and Sanyo Denki.

have fun and careful withe the dremel.

Look, all your bums are too cheap for MY cooling. First take off your case. Then put a nice 24 inch oscillating fan right next to it. damn straight right there like 500 cfm air
