Be careful when handling case fans. Last night I open up my casing just wanted to push a wire aside, I got cut by my Nidec 92mm TA350DC fan... the speed was set to 3000rpm.. gosh.. lucky just kena my knuckle. But I can see some flesh off my skin right now..
*ouch* |

Lets discuss a topic here...
I dunno if you guys have ever tested this. Try to get your fan to fun faster (higher rpm) and see whether the temperature of ur cpu drops? Cos what I did was, I set to a high n low settings... all I got the difference was a 1°C Secondly... I dunno how many people notice this but the speed of your intake (masuk) and exhaust (keluar) makes a big difference. But this is odd, my case worked effectively in reverse. They say that your intake should have a higher air flow (cfm) and higher speed (rpm) than your exhuast, but mine is that my exhaust is faster and better air flow than my intake and my case is cooled about 4°C better than the 'recommended' sequence... anyone knows why? Is it because we should always suck the hot air out more than bring new cool air in? |

I have another question. Apparently my casing side panel has some 80mm blowholes... should I leave it be or get someone to mod it and close it up with acrylic and make it like 'air tight'? Which is better?
Cos right, when I use paper to paste up the blowholes, the temp of my CPU rise up by 3°C.... so how ar? Anyone knows what to do? |

QUOTE(AllnGap @ Nov 18 2006, 01:10 PM) sidepanel is the best place to supply the CPU area with fresh air.....dont block it la.... I guess I'll just leave the hole there as it is. I dont wanna use a 80mm fan cos it will disrupt the airflow. Hey AllnGap... I finally kena cut by your badass Nidec fan  |

QUOTE(mengfui @ Nov 18 2006, 07:12 PM) Evercool green fan 80mm spin at 1600rpm only with very little air flow but it is ideal for dead silent setup. Here's smtg interesting. Would you guys sacrifice performance for SILENCE? or silence for PERFORMANCE |

QUOTE(rudolfjie @ Nov 18 2006, 07:25 PM) no need to headache about cooling la Not funny...just add an air-con, then it will be the greatest solution for every heat hhaaaaa  This isn't a thread in the kopitiam and its only for casing fan enthusiasts to ask their questions and discuss stuff. So please... keep ur lame jokes to urself. |

QUOTE(ianho @ Nov 18 2006, 07:48 PM) There is no need to sacrifice anything if u strike a good balance. U can haf performance n silence together. WHat exactly are good fans? I'm kinda keen in learning how to secure the best way to cool my casing thru fans...As u can c in my sig. My King Kong rig is highly overclocked therefore it produces an incredible amount of heat. My CPU, motherboard n graphics cards r like toasters. Seriously can bake bread in there without proper thermal management. With a good case, good fans, King Kong is as silent as a mouse now. Even my Ferrari laptop is louder than King Kong. |

I have a question, my side panel has like 3 mountings for 80mm fan (those honeycomb ones). The layout is like this
[ ] <--- the 80mm honeycomb fan mounting [ ][ ] <---' If I mount 3 cap ayam 80mm casing fan there as compared to leaving it alone (let the air just masuk the lubang), will it make much difference? |

QUOTE(id86 @ Nov 25 2006, 11:55 AM) i think had some difference since using fan can help in air flow rather than just leave it...am i correct? Thats what I am trying to find out.. but according to some, they say 80mm fan's cfm no feel... no point going for those..  QUOTE(serez @ Nov 25 2006, 12:00 PM) waklaka what a expression It is cheap... some fan controllers can reach up to RM70 for just the controller. Actually its odd, fan controllers are just basically variable resistors... if u can put aside the design and all, u can make ur own. Just like what Allngap does..  rm55 consider cheap ke? hmm if compare cm led silent with this silverstone, i think it`s cheaper than cm one. |

I'm having a major problem for my Nidec performance 92mm fan...
QUOTE Nidec 92mm Model : TA350DC Dimension : 92*92*38 Speed : 5700 rpm Airflow : 130 cfm Noise level : 53.7 dBa Current rating : 1.8 A Power consumption : 21.6 W It seems that when I plug it in my casing, I can't boot properly. It will not be able to detect certain hardware and it will hang before entering Windows XP. Anyone knows why? Is it because of its extremely high power consumption for a casing fan?  |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Dec 16 2006, 01:01 PM) did u plug it to ur mobo fan header or direct to molex? Of course, its fitted direct to molex. Haha... I am aware of the limitations of mobo fan headers...1.8A is too high for thhe mobo fan headers. those headers should have fans NOT exceeding 0.8A else u run a risk of frying ur mobo. if u wanna use the fan. plug direct to molex Anyone can solve my Nidec voltage problem?

QUOTE(AllnGap @ Dec 18 2006, 10:58 PM) i told you not to put the fan to full speed when starting up your PC......did you do that ? Hullo... I am still waiting for my fan from you lah. You send back to me edi anot? i've tested the juice when initially started, and it's more than 2.2A for sure........ maybe you should separate the rails to another source........ How do we seperate the rails to another source? How does that work? |

QUOTE(ksl279 @ Dec 19 2006, 12:37 AM) newbie here... can anyone recomend me a silent fan ? really really need silent fan... for 80mm no need UV or LED, juz plain 80mm silent fan will do.. Bear in mind, silent fans performance in cooling is just.... so so only. Very rarely you find a good fan with low noise level yet high cfm  My current fan running like a plane turbine...damn noisy and irritating..   |

QUOTE(sunauto @ Dec 19 2006, 12:41 AM) You can go with Cooler Master case fans, not dead silent or too noisy, has decent airflow with minimal noise. but on 2nd thought, I think its better to have a modded 80cm fan... haha... ask from AllnGap for his modded fans and see if he can include a fan speed controller... that way, you can control the noise level to the max u can tolerate. Yet, have a good speed n high air flow (cfm) |

For some reason, I have grown to be more interested in case fans and be enthusiastic about it. I feel like studying on how the motor works and how does the blade design help in air flow.... anyone got any link to that?

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Dec 25 2006, 08:05 PM) anyone tried the Evercool spider fan? 80+cfm at 25db. i wonder whether the spec is true. I doubt it... unless maybe its a 120mm version of it. But the only strength of their fans is that it comes with the dust filter... |

QUOTE(cablesguy @ Dec 26 2006, 12:32 AM) @ J-Slade Sorry for my poor photographyhigh density sponge...mind telling whats that...isit like nexus damptek   They seem to come with 'sticker' so basically its chopped up into lil square bits and you place them around the 4 corners of your fans. Btw, I got them from AllnGap. The King of all fans... *edit* Yes it works very similar to the Nexus DampTek. This post has been edited by J-Slade: Dec 26 2006, 12:50 AM |

QUOTE(cablesguy @ Dec 26 2006, 01:44 AM) actually the pix is clear enuf thx @ cablesguy ...anyway does it compress much if u screw it onto the casing, coz if it doesnt then there shud be gaps in between whihc i think shud further lessen the noise n also the vibration...Heyz... actually it doesn't compress even pressed real hard. Thats why its called a high density sponge But I can see you have already got ur sound solution. Great job |
