A good article about fan grouptest.

Fan group test 2012

Here's a tip when cleaning white bladed fans.

first, clean the fan blades with a damp cloth

then, after dry it up you might notice that it wasn't as clean as it should be.

so, mix 50% water and 50% bleach and clean it up again with a damp soft cloth or sponge.
rub at the place where it got that faint stain.

then dry it up again with dry cloth. It should be cleaner and look better.

yeah it does worked. I tried it just now to clean my a/c F12



I peeled off the sticker though, it got wet after I tried to clean the fans with damp tissue a couple of days before I tried the water+bleach method.

Pick your poison. I think most of them have long cables. If its not, then there always the extension cables.
Fans

if you have some space at your side panel you can check these.

Thermalright 140mm fans

these fans use 120mm fan mounting btw.

or these

Noiseblocker

Check this out.

92mm

Not sure if u have already bought the fans but here goes. He's from Sarawak btw.

San ace fans

I would suggest enermax TB Appolish for the bling2 look at the front & sides. As for top, TB Appolish or TB silence would suffice.

Enermax TB Appolish

I never handled the spectre pro before but IINM the on/off toggle switch is exclusive for CM fans only.

The suppliers maybe waiting for the non advanced scout 2 to run out of stock before they could bring in the advanced one.

AFAIK the claim is for US/EU customer only. U may try email CM to see what their answer would be.

If I were you, I would dump the fan, cut the connector and do something like this.

switch

Your case is likely designed for positive pressure which in laymans term is having more fans as intakes than exhaust. So I would position the fans like this;

2 front fans as intakes
2 side fans as intakes
1 bottom fan as intakes
1 back fan as exhaust
2 top fans as exhaust

Have you tried scythe GT's and San Aces? I would try those and a fan controller for the application as above.

I think noctuas are the better ones compared to corsair. The only problem with noctua is the color of their fans.

Well, different people different preferences I guess.


Go to garage sales, find either clawhammer or zhen wei. Both sell AC F12.

Not sure about the helix, but if $$ isn't an issue GT is the way to go. Anyways both can surely can be controlled by fan controller.

Depends on how much bling2 u want. I would put the TB appolish 2 at the front and 2 for the top. for the side normal black fans can do since the top fans would likely to give ample lighting.
If u want to match with the red LEDs, I recommend lamptron fc6 or nzxt sentry mix 2

on a side note has anybody from subang deal with this shop? I'm wondering if I need to buy in bulk for the fans they sell since the price is very cheap.

I assume your case has limited space for fans. I suggest you get prolimatech ultra slim vortex 12. Idealtech have them.

How noisy is jetflo120 compare to say noctua industrial ppc 120 2k one? I'm thinking of getting either one of those for my megahalems.

Oh thanks bro, I may want to try it myself. After all the jetflo are cheaper. Btw saw some non led jetflo at sri computer if thats interests you.

Those who regularly go to lowyat surely knows about this. As for me, I will only buy from sricomp if the item that I want is only available/cheaper there, usually small2 items like sata cables, case fans etc. For more expensive stuff, it will be viewnet, czone or cycom.

If money isn't an issue noctua industrial ppc should be ok. Got 2K and 3K rpm version lol.

Another 1 is those cm jetflo sricomputer got sell at rm42 iinm.

Noctua industrial if u willing to pay top RM for a fan lol.

How about noctua NF12-S12B redux? unless ur PC dun have windows, this would look better than p12.

Other than that, a 140mm fan that can fit into 120mm fan mount can be considered such as thermalright 140mm fans, noctua NF p14r etc.

The only one that I know selling enermax is him

Lingloong

since you're in JB might try to look at SG perhaps?

Actually ur F12 will still kicking ass even now. Unless u want to change case theme to other colour I suggest u stick with ur F12 until it dies lol.
