The xigmatek fan spec looks good. Maybe you can give it a try.

Go for the Xigmatex, no comment about the spec but it'll be easier to clean compared to the compact fins of the Aerocool shark lolz... why not Artic F12 PWM??

hello guys,
need some opinions,
i have a corsair h60, but somtimes the cpu get hot when im only surfin the web,
im thinkin of replacing the stock corsair fan and put two new one...
also replace all the casing stock coolermaster fan, 140mm top, 120mm side and front.

silent n have led, any suggestion?

CPU running hot even if its cooled by the H60?? makes me think my 212+ is a great bargain...

anyway is this always happening?? and how hot is it exactly??
before you start replacing them fans, I suggest that you clean the dust off of the radiator and fans and see if there are any improvements

just a heads up: Performance fans doesn't usually comes with LEDs

actually it's brand new, no dust la... no more than 2 weeks old...
previously with the intel stock cooler,wenever im playin game, prototype 2, future soldier, max payne 2, you know the type of game that would actually make the cpu hot,
asus ai suite never make any warning, that suggest it's ok, i think la..

but after i installed h60, every game, everything i do, asus ai suite keeps popping these warning that the temp it had gone over 60'c...

my casing is cm690 2 advanced

which is better then, to light up my casing with fan led or use led strip/ light cathode?

maybe you can disable or adjust that asus ai suite?

for lighting I prefer led strip because I believe it will last longer than fan led. As for light cathode I'm not so sure. AFAIK it generate heat thus may increase temp.




I played bf3 and other similar games my temp is around 80-90 degrees & I used xigmatek gaia with AC f12 pwm push pull. I'm not sure about my room temp but
it is quite hot & humid. Do I need to change the fans to the ones like GT or san aces?

Mine is cm690 2 plus.

hi guys...just got myself a new rig cased in strike-x one advanced. everything is pretty much stock. 2 case fan (rear & front) + stock cpu cooler. some lite gaming after work mostly...but i rarely turn off my pc..

i5 3470
8gb ram
gtx 550 ti oc

1) gonna change the stock cpu cooler, please recommend me a good entry level cooler? (within rm150+/- )

2) gonna add 2 more 120mm (top).. suggestions? possibly anything with red LED to match.

3) how good is corsair h60 for my setup?

thanks guys

1)CM 212 evo should be fine, or this. Got dual fan some more. Spire dual fan cpu cooler

2)Either Enermax TB silence LED or Enermax TB appolish, take your pick. I suggested these two since it does not have sleeve bearing thus suitable for use as top fans. you can find his name at garage sales.

3) IMO, I don't think it's good. if you want that kind of setup I suggest you get a H80 or H100 instead. of course YMMV.

thanks mate. can u explain the relation of sleeve bearings fan vs non sleeve usage as top fan?

the 212 evo reviews sound good..might gonna get 1 & attach 1 more fan to it.. what fans are used on it? might as well change em to XIGMATEK XAF F1253 or CM Xtraflo 12

Here's some articles about fan bearings.

basics of fan bearings

ball vs sleeve bearing

another ball vs sleeve bearing article

AFAIK, sleeve bearings when mounted as top fan, the lubricant will not be able to lubricate the bearing since it isn't sealed thus will shorten the life of the fan. OTOH other bearing other than sleeve might have some kind of sealing so that the bearing will stay lubricated even when mounted as top fan.

if you want push pull setup, might as well get the cm xtraflow 120 red but you might need pwm splitter cable lol.

hello guys. gentle typhoon 12 no more production already??

gentle or arctic f12 better?

and how much for gentle 12 ?

I'd take F12. Saw cyntrix put 59 for G.typhoon. You might want to PM him.

if u have the budget, then go for gentle typhoon.
GT rm59 each, almost can get 3x F12 pwm
if price is not a problem for u, of course get the gentle thyphoon lo

hey guys, what is the smallest fan u can get? i looking for a 80mm or 60mm or 50mm fan...do you guys see any of these small fans?

Where you want to put it? Garage sales got. Try search around.

wanna mod the side panel like exhaust...i troed find ard but no result T.T

Not sure if you looked before ngbh thread. For exhaust, why not get a 200mm fan?

actually more on modding, exhaust is just to over it

Has the new Arctic Cooling F12 arrived in Malaysia?

By looking at the technical part it seem to be improved hell lot
F12 : 74 CFM / 125.7 m3/h
F12: 0.3 Sone

Haven't seen in the local market yet.. although there is one in GS that has the new 120mm version on the i30 so only a matter of time
