My CM690II+ has similar setup except that I skipped the side panel fan and go for bottom fan (because the bottom part of the casing got filter). I did tried putting a fan at the side but the whistling sound it makes kinda annoying. hey bro i got the same problem here. ive got this window side panel version and the fan on it is really noisy! but i guess the air at the side panel will b much better than mounted bottom right? also the cabling will somehow block the airflow from bottomThis post has been edited by law1777: Nov 6 2010, 02:49 PM |

bought 3 F12 pwm!!
 Added on August 16, 2012, 4:46 pm QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Aug 13 2012, 09:51 AM) +1, The Artic F12 is good for all applications IMHO its decently pushing air for its quietness and also has good static pressure.. quite affordable too will b using F12 for exhaust and 2 F12 pwm for H60/H100 .. but yeah you could go with the higher CFM for exhaust but that would normally mean more noise as these fans tend to have higher RPM the Silverstone AP is mostly good for intake as air travels in a straight column for that fan but have ppl says that they're quite loud This post has been edited by law1777: Aug 16 2012, 04:46 PM |

QUOTE(mrteeheetummytums @ Aug 16 2012, 10:54 PM) Wow, thanks for the good info the specs on their websites r only for marketing purposes So pwm is a good thing? That makes the arctic cooling sound better because it can be quieter when idle and still cool when hot. But I can't seem to find specs on the arctic cooling website to compare though. I read that the gentle typhoons are really silent though. And since I'm only getting 2 for HSF I don't mind paying that little bit more money. I wanna be sure that extra I pay for is worth it though :/ I'm also not so sure on the ability of the gentle typhoons, both CFM and static pressure |
