Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, it needs 14cm fans right? Any good ones (produce good cfm) but not noisy or preferably noiseless?

Old age problem - can't withstand too much noise, lol.

U can use 14cm fans on it but the 14cm fans are only 25mm thick n leaves a gap in the middle. Look at my pics with the blue LED fan and u'll get what I mean. So it's not as efficient, drawing air tru the sides rather than tru the front radiator. What u can do is get sum nice n quiet Panaflo 120x38mm fans. That shud do a good job without much noise.

Actually I thought of doing it this way:

not a good idea based on my experiments with all the different configs I've tried. The best config i tried is fan in the middle n back. A lot of other guys haf also reported that's the best config.

Hmm, why is it so? Mid + back both blowing same direction right?
Btw, you can confirm the size of the fan used? 14cm or 12cm?

U can use either size. Both will fit.

Thanks ianho

Ultra-120 Extreme beats IFX-14? Is that true?...

Who told u that?

Don't know la... Some ppl in other forums say so lolz... Just asking...

Best would be 3 fans, front, middle,back blowing in same direction. Could be another 1-2c temp drops.

Got it from another forum...

What's the source? Some of these fellas crazy 1. I've even read a review where the fella complained that he cudn fit a fan on the front or back of the IFX14 coz the bottom will hit the gfx card, top will hit the PSU. so he did the testing fanless. Then he sed the cooler sux coz load temps were extremely hot. Then he gave it a rating of 4/10. LOLZ. He's so stupid that he doesn't even know to fit a fan in the middle of the IFX14.

lolz.... As u can see the graph is consist of tests using different fans... at the bottom of the graph... I suppose IFX-14 works better with more airflow than ultra-120 extreme...

Actually IFX works better with less flow. It's meant to perform same as Ultra Extreme but with less noise. Ultra Extreme needs more flow. IFX is meant for silent running 14cm fans. If u want performance then it needs 120x38mm fans.

But if ifx put high air flow it will beat ultra-120 extreme rite?

should be...i mean in theory it should la...

but then i remember that there are some heatsinks that performs no differently between high and low speed fans.

Any suggestion for a silent+high performance 120x120x38mm fan?... That fan put in the middle right?... Im getting silverstone fm123 120x120x25mm fan to put at the front...
