my case specifications:
Fan space (3.5") front (2), rear (1)
ill pay up to $50 but do NOT want to go that high if a cheaper option will do
-it will be for a 2800+/radeon 9800 system with a possibility of very moderate OC'ing in the future
any suggestions are welcome
Grab some panaflo fans from frozencpu... 31 cfm / 28db. They have a special for em, $2.50 each atm.
look @ www.svc.com. just about the cheapest you gonna find
Yeah, their selection is huge. FrozenCPU is decent too, but overpriced IMO;)Quote:
Aye, comparing the two I can't see how frozencpu stays in business with their prices compared to svc. Only mentioned them because of their cheap special on those panaflos, cheaper than even svc offers em.
I agree DAoC, that is a really good deal on those Panaflo's, but other than that FrozenCPU is just overpriced:cool:
so 31 cfm fans are good enough for moderate OC'ing?
also what to do if your mobo has only one case fan outlet?
thanks
Case fans arn't going to play a huge roll on how well you can o/c your processor. It helps, better airflow cools the heatsink faster, but 31cfm is fine. About the motherboard connection, I don't even use that. The fans should come with 3 to 4 pin adapters (unless they come 4 pin~) and you just hook them up into your psu, or fan controller if you have one of those.
edit: and wow~ just figured i'd do a search for the bezels on svc and they had em for 6.40 each, immediatly called frozencpu to cancel my order with them (13 bucks each there). Bought some 32cfm/28db fans too for 1.49 each. Guess I don't need to shop at frozencpu anymore ><
I usually buy my fans at www.nexfan.com. They have some awesome deals. I picked up some 32cfm clear case fans just recently for a couple bucks apiece.
