Good fans don't come cheap la. FM123 is alrady RM65. S-Flex 160 is already RM80. you want to get 3? Calculate how much more. Best to just get Ultra 120 Extreme with a single fan.

Those are just commercialized fans and I would never spend that kind of money on such a fan.

You can get fans just as good if not better even at a cheaper price. The concern is about airflow, not the brand.

Good fans like NMB, ADDA, Sanyo Denki, Panaflo and Papst that aren't commercialized aren't easy to get. They are priced from RM20-50 depending on the size, CFM, RPM and dB.

Normally electrical shops would carry some since they are more for industrial usage. They perform just as well or even better than the Silverstone and priced a lot cheaper. Fan controllers can be easily made too (I had 2 on my rig) so that wouldn't be a big problem. For those which are on budget, those LED Icute's are a pretty good buy. I tried out a few 120mm and the Icute gives the best airflow and with that, I bought some (eventhough I don't really like those LED's at first)

I think it all comes to personal preference but for me, I don't think it's worth to spend on that Silverstone fan. Too expensive and all because it's commercialized

Silverstone and Scythe looks good...that's why. I myself wouldn't trust Icute. Maybe it's the name...I don't know. I prefer normal ones, no bling-bling, black and does not compete for attention within the chassis. Jalan Pasar is a popular place to get, but since it is so far away...I'm too lazy to go there all the time to have a look. Wish the electrical shops over at SS2 has some... This is turning out to be a fan thread pula. Let's discuss this over at: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/387771/

Would a Thermalright IFX-14's backside heatsink fit in a Lian Li A05?

Nope. That chassis is too short.

good cooler..

Best bang for the buck? Ultima-90 you can fit a 92mm and 120mm fan for a push-pull configuration.

best bang for bucks meh? not xigmatek?

Ultima 90 performs just 1 to 2 degree weaker than Ultra-120 ..

So at that price it is really a good bang for money besides its size is also another advantage ...

I think best bang for buck would be CoolerMaster Hyper 212. I'm getting one and see how it performs against my BT VX.

CM coolers .... I don't thnk they're that good...

They might not be the best but few of them do perform very good. One of them would be Coolermaster Hyper TX.

I think Xigmatek Performance:Price Ratio better...

the price shot up btw
the ratio has been altered

haih... what to do.. everything also naik harga ...

Another question. If you were to use just one fan for any of the Thermalright products, will you set it to push or pull? Which offers better cooling performance?

^ push is slightly better. i'm using ultra120 extreme and hr03 r600 both fans configured to push. tested pull config before got +3C difference.

Hmmm...that's good to know. Thanks.
