hey bro, how high is 'high'? I'm looking at coolermaster's led silent fan 120mm, officially rated at 1200rpm and 42.7cfm. Would four of this put side by side bring in better airflow than a single 75cfm 230mm fan?

Thanks for helping

bro , can i ask u , which 230mm fan hav 75cfm ?? hav red led 1 or non led 1 ??

bro i got this from coolermaster forums, posted by one of their support people i think:

http://forum.coolermaster.com/viewtopic.ph...10673&start=105

Front: 230 x 30 mm red LED fan x 1, 700 rpm, 19 dBa (75 CFM)
Side: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 rpm, 19 dBa (support 120 x 25 fan x 4)(75 CFM)
Top: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 rpm, 19 dBa (support 120 mm fan x 3 or 120 mm x 1 + 230 x 30 mm x 1)(75CFM)
Rear: 140 x 25 mm standard fan x 1, 1200 rpm, 17 dBa (support 120 mm fan x 1)(57 CFM)

so yeah all the 230mm fans are 75CFM

on a side note, anyone know of a good 140mm fan that can beat the stock fan of the 932?

i think acryan 120 mm fan is the high cfm fan

the CM 120mm fan isit the one with so called 90cfm one? rated 42.7cfm only?? hmmm...

oh no lar i going for the cheaper one, the Neon LED fans working at 1200rpm. I tot if i put 4 of the 2000rpm one cannot sleep at night, tot 1200rpm better choice for 4 fans hehe

i think u should put the CM 120mm 90cfm fan , 19 dBa , or put the xigmatek 120mm fan

CM 120mm 90cfm fan rated nearly 70 cfm, but no red led though.

dunno can change the uv led to red led , dunno nice or not

i think cannot. most fan's leds are fix inside the fan itself. but if use on non led one i think can.

i switch the top 230mm fan to 3x120mm red led cm fan,the side i also changed to 4x120mm red led fan,the rear i change to the evercool red scorpion 140mm fan,haven't try the system yet,no processor still
cheers

actually I do have a very old (more than 5 years) blue coolermaster 120mm fan, running at 1200rpm. not sure what CFM, but when i put side by side with the stock 230mm fan, both running 100% can feel the 120mm fan more power lar...

therefore i am 'quite' confident that 4 x 1200rpm 120mm fans can be better than a single 700rpm 230mm fan

if u're in a air con room, no need to change the fan at all. the case temp same with the room temp.
but if u wan it to look cooler, then change the fan. but hard to find red led fan la..T_T

true also,im using the stock 230mm fan as my modem cooler
if cooler master ever come out the red led fan with black frame(like the 1 in v8),it will be superbly nice and sure will get it
cheers

haha yeah i'm not in air con room, cannot tahan, so need best air cooling...

@loongking: I think modernoPC got the red led fans, u go ask him lar, rm28 per pc =D

Also report back on performance when u set everything up ya, really wanna see the effects of putting 4 fans vs 1 fan

if not in air con room, the case temp is higher than the room temp about 2 degree celcius. i try tat b4, but hvn try when gaming.

sure sure now just wait to get my processor and a full red theme haf932
unless u wanna set ur air cond room to 16c haha
cheers

then put red cold cathode can d. no ned to change the fan. haha...
i set my air con at 25C though. the case just nice n cool...
