A barrel full of questions...

[Worm]

How ya'll doing. Let me start off by saying, yes, I am a newbie to this board. So, please... don't burn me too bad...

So here are my barrel of questions (which are gonna be like 2 or 3):

I'm gonna get a new CPU fan, do you guys think Black ThermoEngine fans are good? If not, what do you guys recommend?

Would the CPU be ruined if you put cooled air (like air that was passed over somethin' REALLY cold like a mini A/C)?

And what's the best way to have the air inside the case be cooled?


I'd appreciate any and all replies. thanks!

Welcome to the Forum.

In order to offer you the best advice we can on buying a new hsf we do need to know what CPU you are running and your spending budget.
The best way to cool a case obviously depends largely on budget and your ability to put up with noise (I have five 120mm fans in my case which work well, but are obviously more noisey that watercooling)
The more information you give us about your system the better the advice we will be able to give you.

Well we would never burn anyone if someone was caught burning anyone they would be history in this forum.

Running AC to your PC would be great if you wanted to you would just have to make sure you dont get any condensation but that reall should not be a problem. Cooler is allways better.

I have no exsperience with the BTE fan it sounds fine to me but your going to have 2 options more air and more noise or less air and less noise sometimes the quiet ones will give good results almost as much as the noisy ones on the other hand some people like the noise of the deltas lets em know its working. also there are some tricks to keep the noisy ones quiet.

good luck
