never use top motor fans for your cpu hsf.
or else one that u`ll be left with a very crisp chip!.
one day is a understatement!

?!!?

you can't use them on an HSF??? Im getting a WBK38 w/ 80mm Top Motor fan...41CFM.

And I'll also install another Top Motor (36CFM) as an intake fan...

why wont the Top Motors work as HS fans??

I'm less than impressed with the quality and apparent MTBF on these fans.

i dont imagine GOD is correct...and if he is, that WBK comes with a delta screamer...soooo ill b ok lol

u didnt like the quality? ppl over at anandtech said the top motor fans were a great value if you arent looking to spend 30 bucks on 3 fans

 

[Tachyon]

My point was simply to compare engineering specifications such as nominal operating temperatures, MTBF, etc. before deciding what the true value is.
