QUOTE(Oyaji @ Sep 3 2012, 12:55 AM) 1)CM 212 evo should be fine, or this. Got dual fan some more. Spire dual fan cpu cooler thanks mate. can u explain the relation of sleeve bearings fan vs non sleeve usage as top fan?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.  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 |

QUOTE(Oyaji @ Sep 4 2012, 03:24 AM) Here's some articles about fan bearings. pwm splitter cables ebaybasics 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. is this the fore mentioned splitter cable? thanks |
