Not sure if I should ask in Harware Q&A or here.

Sifus,

What type of fan should I get to connect to my DFI motherboard (3 pin connector)?
I want the the fan speed to vary depending on the temperature.

it depend on ur case airflow and wat components u have...
rpm and cfm that u like....

I'm using the PowerLogic Atrix 5000 casing.

It comes with 2 fans - 12cm side & 9cm back.

I want to instll a 8cm fan to the top and connect it to the motherboard.

What RPM should I go for 1800/2500/3600???

Do I need to get a fan with its own temp sensor and variable fan speed (like 1 of the cooler master model)?

or Do I need to just get a fan with variable rpm?

or something else?

i think itll be best to get a fan with a built in temp sensor for ur use. that way u can just plug it in and let it run without having to manually control it as the temp sensor will control the fan speed according to the temp it detects.

go to bulk order.there a lot variety of fan to choose from high to low performance.

Can you guys recommend something good and value for money?

Yeah, i'm looking for my Atrix 5000 too. Anybody can recommend it?

-UV
-Led
-Normal (Black colour)

I saw AllnGap's bulk have Delta 8cm, but it doesn't state temp sensor.

How about Thermal Take Smart Fan II, is it good?

Powerful fan + connect to mobo = Fried mobo header = $$$$ down the drain

Arrgh, then what fan should I use to connect to my DFI?

help me.....

honestly dude.....it all depends on ur tolerance level for noise. u gotta find something that has the best airflow for the noise level u can tolerate.

if u wan really powerful and silent..no such thing. u wan silent and okok air flow... got a few out there...... u wan silent and minimal airflow, cm uv silent fan

but if u wan raw power and dont give a rats ass about noise....then i suggest my favourite, Delta FFB.

as for connecting fans to ur mobo.... look for fans that are BELOW 0.8A. any higher and u run the risk of frying. the FFBs are not mobo friendly btw. no powerful fans are mobo friendly.

what you're looking for is called a smartfan...apparently its not recommended to connect those to your motherboard power..

so if its possible, get one with a built in temperature probe so u can plug it to ur PSU

Thanks mADmAN.

At least now I'm getting a clearer picture.

i think is better get a quiet fan thats all......

lol

which one ??
the delta medium speed 80MM does support RPM

wonders how many of those l33t fans is available here though

it depends on individual what

Thanks for the help.

I've finally decided to get a Coolermaster LED fan 2500rpm.

yeah thk those cool sifus XD
