tools u need...

spare PCI slot cover + 2x cable ties.

use the cable ties and tie the fan to the PCI slot cover.... then screw the pci slot cover to the pci slot and ur done biggrin.gif

i did this with a 60mm fan.....

120mm fan might be a little harder seeing how its bigger... but try it out first and see if it works..

wat kind of cable ties should i use? so i can hold it stronger n wont drop down 1 day =D
madman can show me a picture of urs? thx alot!!!

Hi, i just upgrade my cm hyper 212+ plus fans recently to dual Arctic Cooling F12 PWM fans for push pull config, and extra 2 fans for my case, im also apply new arctic cooling mx-4 at the same time, but not much improvement for my rig temp. B4 my cm hyper 212+ single blademaster is around 90c while oc, but after add those fans the temp still same around 90c, is there anything wrong? My case is front 2x120mm intake, bottom 1x120mm intake, top 1x170mm exhaust, rear 1x120mm rear exhaust, total 5 case fans.
*
wa add 2 f12 +2 extra fans +mx4 but no temp changes?
why ur temp 90c so high? running stress test?

i just tested artic f12, xigmatek xlf 120mm, and my old vizo starlet 120mm

side by side, use hand to feel

i feel the vizo starlet airflow is much higher than the f12 n xigmatek
if (i can much stronger wind blowing at my hand)
if vizo is 100%, den f12 is around 70% while the xigmatek is 30%

i dunno about the static pressure thing, but i m totally shocked with this result

I can say you have good hands which are able to scientifically test fans just by using bare hands without tools smile.gif The CIA or FBI should hire people like you which have such fabulous skills. The other thing you forget is about the noise level. Obviously there are fans which have higher airflow than the F12 but this also means the fan is producing more noise and probably higher vibration too. The law of physics apply, there's no such thing as a silent fan with high static pressure and superb 100cfm airflow. If airflow is what you want then please buy a Delta 180cfm-200cfm fan. When you compare fans and when people say performance, it means:

1. Noise Level
2. Airflow
3. Static Pressure

Did you take into account all these factors before feeling "shocked"? A proper reviewer comparing fans would also use proper tools to justify their claims scientifically.

i m shocked becoz both the vizo n f12 are rated at around 60cfm
u no need a good hand to feel it, the difference is just too much, u can feel it with any part of ur body

i stated tat i only compared airflow, no static pressure (dunno how to measure)

i m comparing both same air flow (~60cfm) fan (not 100+cfm), while realizing the vizo is much more stronger than the f12

by then i also doubt that how well the f12 static pressure can help in improving air flow, since the air flow already lose quite a bit

anyway, just some PERSONAL opinion from a me

any recommendation for 140mm fan for top exhaust? Lianli 8Fi

no need too high cfm, everything balance would be good enough (cfm,noise ratio,price,looks)
