U don't need to add a high speed fan to cool down you're pc to the max...
The faster the fan, the noisier you're pc will be...

Tell you, you wouldn't want a very noisy pc, it's a headache.
Offcourse, some of us can withstand the noise, but not many of them have experienced the goodness of Silent PC...

In the early days, i've been one of those people who can withstand a noisy pc [at that time, i was using CM Hyper 6+ running at maximum speed with the noise of 46DB (That's freaking noisy, i can hear the noise from downstairs sweat.gif )].
But when i've bought a new heatsink, a new casing for my brother, all the fans in his pc are low in noise, all are below 28DB, that's when i started to fell in love with silent pc...

There i go, sold all freaking noise producer in my pc starting with selling the freaking noisy CM Hyper 6+, then, i've swithched all the fan in my pc to Vantec Spectrum UV Led fans that are low in noise [except for the 92MM fan, it's noisy sweat.gif ]

And today, i'm using Thermalright XP120 + Vantec Spectrum 120MM UV Led Fan to cool down my processor...

I've fall in love with silent setup and will never ever go for noisy fans again... wub.gif

There's many option here...

1) Use a better aftermarket heatsink [Depending on you're setup]
2) Use watercooling - this is out of you're range. no?
3) Use phase change technology - more out of range.

Are u into air cooled heatsink or what? smile.gif

practice, learning from others is the key to success..... no short cut...

i spent hours and hours to study how others do cable management with the same case or same series.. shakehead.gif

no shortcut unless u request service from Ianho thumbup.gif

Double post eeh doom? laugh.gif

TS, you need to choose the right fans, tidy up the cacing's inside you're casing, then i'm pretty sure that you'll get a decent temperature for you're processor... cool.gif

How many DB would you guys consider to be starting to get noisy already?Well, i have seen many high speed fans especially the delta ones which does produce a very high amount of DB.Seem noisy enough to me..I currently have one 12cm Delta fan and its producing a great amount of noise.Planning to change to other type which is silent but still be able to provide ample cooling functions.Any reccomendations?for 12cm and 8cm...

Well, for me, 40Db is the starter for breaking the "drums" in my ears... sweat.gif

No pc has a DB meter liao... laugh.gif

You can always look at the noise of a particular fan on it's packaging or maybe u can google around in google about any fans noise... icon_rolleyes.gif

I chk the Vantec Spectrum 120mm , the cfm is 36cfm compared to the stock fan which is 46.5cfm....  Somemore the noise level for stock fan is 24dbA while vantec is 36dba le...It's no point to change rite? Correct me if I am wrong?

Is silverstone fm121 this fan good? Anyone use before?

http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-fm121.htm
It has very high cfm with max 110cfm...Anyone use before?
*
Don't look at Vantec's Website, they didn't bother to update the wrong information about the CFM...

If you go to LYP, and check the packaging itself, there, it states that the CFM is 69.34CFM...

The information in Vantec's webpage is incorrect liao... laugh.gif

http://epowerhousepc.com/delta-120x38mm-ff...2ehe-p-585.html

Will it decrease my cpu temp a lot if compared iwf the one i hv now which jz 46cfm...If i use this, then my temp sure going down 5-6c? correct?

It'll surely reduce the temperature, but it won't lower the temperature more than 5 degrees... laugh.gif

For a 5 degrees less, can't you stand the noise? whistling.gif

I've used to have a Pentium 4 3.0E [oc'ed to 4GHz] used with CM Hyper 6+ running at 44degrees on idle... laugh.gif

Scythe Ninja stock fan is too slow...
You have to change to a higher CFM...

IINM, Scythe Ninja stock fan is set to run on 1000RPM or lower... sweat.gif
It's too slow...

If you wanna change, just change it to a little faster fan...

Look around for a fan that is 1600 - 1800RPm
That should help... wink.gif

Why don't you guys try Pabst's? Their available reconditioned over at Imbi Plaza. Worth a look since they'd cost between 30 to 50 ringgit

What are the specs for Pabst's fans? blink.gif

So far I oni know that silverstone fm121 got such spec wif around 100 cfm with 40db....
Got other fans?

Cheap sale

100CFM with 40db is considered good enough liao...
Not so noisy, not so silence...

But it's a "NO" for me as anything more than 36DB is considered noisy to me... laugh.gif

just few days didn come bk and see this thread, so many reply liao...thanx guys for all the info, i think im goin to stick to my current fan lar, i think the most im goin to do is to clean the dust accumulated inside the casing and fans. and then reapply a new heat conductor for my cpu. rally weird, few months ago my max temp for my cpu is 42 degree celcius, idle is around 36 degree. but nowadays, it reach 56 degree and the lowest idle temp is 44 degree. even after i clean everything inside the cpu, and even apply a new layer of heat compound. wat happening arr? rclxub.gif
*
Maybe because the new layer of thermal paste is too thick?
Who knows...

Did you clean the old thermal paste before applying the new layer? blink.gif
