I need a powerful fan

[BoB NaPaLm]

Yes. I think that they are more useful in sound reduction as a bigger fan with similar cfm to a smaller fan will be much quiter.

Get an 80>120mm convertor

That would be sweeet

Ah, who cares about sound. I just want some cool temps.

Hmmmm, I found what I am looking for:http://www.nexfan.com/43/469.htm?19
80-120mm adapter!!!

 

[BoB NaPaLm]

ohh nice
Unfortunately that wont clip onto my silly slk800
Oh well I shall just admire from afar

 

[Skiing Squirrel]

It should be able to fit on my ax-7 right?

 

[BoB NaPaLm]

Do you have to screw in a fan on the ax7? If so then yes.

The slk has these weird clips that snap around the fan so you dont need screws. They wont be tall enough to go all the way up that adapter and around the fan lol.

Lol I thought one of the main purposes of watercooling was to reduce noise...

I have 2 80's in back, 3 80's in front, one 80 on top, 2 80's psu, a tiny one on the chipset, cooljag *well had a cooljag on video*, 2 92's on the bottom, and 2 120's underneath the case.

13 fans not counting the chipset. And my system is BY FAR quietter than my family's computer that has only four fans.

With so many fans, I can undervolt them and most are quiet case fans so there really isn't much noise to speak of. With the watercooling removing the loudest fan in a computer.
