2 part question.

Part 1#. ok bught an 80 mm case fan thinking it will be the right size i was rong , way to small for where i was going to put it. But it does seem to fit where the power suppile fan goes ( can i exchange fans ) thier? this one is 2500 rpm's, ) . Part 2#. the fan seems to to be the same size as the cpu fan ( valcano 12 ) but half thr rpm's the volcano runs at 5500, so what do you guys sudgest ( dont want to take it back ).

you can replace, your PSU fan but, why don't you just put a blowhole in your case, and use it there? why butcher your PSU, when you could butcher your side panel?

Don't put it on your CPU! Odds are good you will be better off with the other one left where it is. You may be able to swap it with your PSU 's fan but if the RPM is close to the same so may the CFM's and in fact a slower running (RPM) fan designed better will put out more CFM than a faster low quality design. What to do is reference the part # on the PSU's fan and compare the 2, then use the better of the 2. This will still leave you with 1 extra fan to play with so a blow hole as suggested by dowmace may be a fun thing to try.

dowmace all ready has a blohole with a fan in it ( side panel does ).


and the psu is 2 years old ready for a make over

stedman ok thanks for the advice bro

 

[dowmace]

oh well if the PSU isn't brand new, go ahead chop 'er up, but you could still blow out the top!
