ok, since the Rear Fan thread got locked coz of off-topics,
lets discuss casing fans here, n be on topic

here, we discuss fan spec etc, n placing in cases... UV? high cfm? reduces case temp?
anything.. as long it contributes..


ok let me start...
i've mentioned that i ordered some AC Fans some time ago
n guess what arrives few mins ago

*thanks daze

will install now n see any temp reduce over my free 120mm cm silent-fan
well, at least its UV

well, i made a bad assumption
it seems i cant control the other 2 3-pin on mobo
so i cant control the can speed of these fans [but i can monitor the speed]
the 120mm spins@2krpm while 80mm spins @2.5k
holy shat, the rear fan really blows .. n the wind sound is louuuuuuuuud =__=
nevertheless, even the proc temp on load (9x265 , 1.45v) maintained @50C+ , the stock 70mm fan now spins @4.5k instead of 5.xk++
(my ultra-90 is on the way)
oh, case temp reduce significantly 2-3C


*the only turn-off of these fan is that i can see the led-glue clearly ;__;

oh well, im happy with the fan...
if only i can slower its speed would make it better

mine

*its now on load (currently folding), but i have no idea why its 0%
**currently disable the 80mm fan, coz i wanna compare sys temp with prev setup

btw sniper, why ur sys temp so high?
my case temp barely touch 40c even after gaming with 6800u

ini learn from abg.sniper laa

actually the loud wind sound came from the 120mm fan
the wind sound will go quieter when the rpm is reduced to 1.6k rpm n below (tested using 3-pin cpu fan w/ smart control)
however the wind blown quite powerful.. i guess it really blows 70++cfm >__<
guess i need to think how to mod it to fit my soon-to-come ultra-90 n get a slower 120mm fan for the exhaust fan

btw miraged, hows ur vizo?

well, all this while i was using CMsilent fan
so when change to this fan, gonna take time to adapt the wind sound
dont get me wrong, the fan is dead silent, juz that the "whooosh~" of high cfm blows
well, its a 2krpm 70cfm afterall

btw, at what dba fan starts to go near dead silent?
i have the feeling its the honeycomb grills at case exhaust causing the loud wind sound
