Which case fan?

RuffRyder88 · Dec 25, 2002

I am buying a chieftec dragon case tower w/ door. Which one of these fans will be enough to keep my case cool?
BTW, I can't use my current fan, and my new pc will be a p4 2.4ghz with ddr pc2700 ram.

Are you sure all those different fan sizes can fit your case? If so, then the 120mm fans will most likely push more air than the 80mm with less noise.

I have ordered two 80mm fans? Will these fit in my case? It is a chieftec dragon tower, with door. It is the version with four 5 inch bays.

cullam3n · Dec 25, 2002

I will bet they will fit.

yes think so too. 80mm's is the only fan size for chieftec dragons right?

The Spyder · Dec 25, 2002

correct~ they come with 2 fans already and have spces from 2 more~ (if you have a fan on the door, the you need 1 more)

80mm is the standard for case fans and CPU fans. 60 for chipsets, 120 for silent cases or top mounted exhaust. Not really sure what 92 are for

svenrune · Dec 25, 2002

I have the dragon DA fulltower and i use 6 * Enermax 80mm fans.
and one Enermax 92mm
You have 6 places for 80mm and one for 92mm

RuffRyder88 · Dec 25, 2002

Ok, good thing i went for the 80mm ones then!
Is this a good fan?:

Manufacturer : THERMALT
Product : 80x80x25 Fan Kit
Quicklinx : 11XRWS

It says it shifts 37cm (?) of air, if that helps.

40mm are for chipsets.

37cfm isn't bad for case fans. For a CPU fan though, you migt want something like a 50cfm, unless you use panaflos or you simply have really good airflow.

No problem. 60mm fans are just for small CPU coolers. 92mm fans are usually the fans found in premade fan holes on the side of the case. At least that's what I think.

Yea, i was gonna say....

)
