Will increased airflow inside a casing give a significant drop in temperature? I'm considering changing the 3 stock gigabyte casing fans for delta fans, just wondering if the temperature decrease is significant enough to make up for the noise.

it depends. if your fan orientation in the casing doesnt help the airflow, putting a performance fan like delta wouldnt help your temp also. I think the only way to test if there is a significant different is by opening your side panel making it half naked.

usually when your casing is half naked, it improves the air flow a lil. so from there you could make your comparison. but if u can stand the noise, i think there is no reason why u shouldnt get those delta fans

from my experience,opening my elite 330 casing will significantly reduce the all systems temp.my e8400 stock voltage, from 55C idle down to 48-50C idle. =.="

wow. 48-50 idle is still quite high for 45nm proc bro

maybe he's using stock cooler?my e8400 b4 oc and on stock voltage idle 33-35c with my current cooler.after oc idle went up to 39-40c.

btw nt recommend to open ur casing hlaf naked la,unless u rly no choice (which is the case with my previous prescott).bcoz open up side will invite more dust,in the end will hamper ur airflow as well

before i got my thermaltake i was planning to get the AC freezer too, but no blings

yeah, i guess i need to

how much is it? any other forummers got sell it?

sd963/964 is 110-130 i think...but its best to go for better ones...coz all you need is another 20-30 ringgit more like the sunbeam CCF
or the S1283 these..you can use the bling fans...or go for red scorpion and achiellies s1284 which also comes with bling fans

Just now..I removed one of my Cooler Master 90CFM fans to replace the screws with rubber screws, and I realized that the fan is kinda oily/greasy..

Any idea why is it greasy??

Btw, the rubber screws didn't work..I can feel my casing vibrating due to the fan's speed lolz!

I'm confused which one should I get?
CCF or S1283 or Red Scorpion?

i see the sd963/964 seems good for me..haha..the weight also kinda meets my requirements, looking for one about 500g or less, don't want to heavy coz i'll be carrying my pc around sometimes
those coolers that you guys recommended are able to fit inside a coolermaster elite casing rite?

get CCF with XLF fan,they look great

greasy i think its due to the exposure of greasy/oily enviroment. your pc is place near to your kitchen or anything that cause greasy stuff?

shouldnt be a problem fitting....ive seen a sunbeam CCF fitted in it as well...tho honestly the tip of the heatpipes are almost touching the side panel

which part of the fan is greasy? coz almost any fan out there..the centre piece where the sticker is...is always greasy...that is suppose to lubricate the motor

I'm just afraid of the damn pushpins..I have terrible experiences with the Intel stock cooler..now I'm running my Q6600 with stock cooler, 50C at idle

Nope, my PC is at the living room.

The blades and the frame of the fan are greasy. I suspect that its the grease which is used to lubricate the motor..

CCF pushpins are a little different...i dont think that its that bad...since so many in this thread uses them
besides CFF you can use S1283 with SS kit.....i wont recon the archilies..coz that in the other hand might not fit in your CM elite(you have to leave your side cover open)
red scorpion is basically S1283...but will cost more with the LED fans...so i'd recon if your budget is tight..better go for S1283 with SS kit


btw..if you want something cleaner...why not go liquid? im going to change mine to liquid soon already (prolly today itself coz the kit arrive dy) .....(does this mean that im barred from this thread )

if liquid it's gonna cost more rite? even the cheapest cm liquid cooling set i saw is around rm300

true..and a little more maintainence are required as compared to heatsink fan....i went ahead for the thermaltake bigwater...but got heartbroken when i read the reviews after purchasing XD....im doing the leak test now..hopefully it will work as good as my arctic freezer 7 pro or better....gonna do some lapping later...

anyways..if you want hassle free...air-cooling is still the best cooling solution for budget and performance

SHOO SHOO!!! go out u traitor!!


eh, if possible pls show some results ya... eager to know how good the bigwater is

talking about tt big water, i found a mouting kit when i moved into my room. the previous owner left it inside the box and left inside the room. it's still with me now, dunno what to do with it

use it!! lol....if you can find some long screws and bolts from hardware shops....for your HSF

ss kit are usually RM40...with that it will cost you RM 5 at most XD..

(im still on air atm...so that means im still legit in this thread )hahaha

CCF's push pin is very much easier to remove and install compare to intel's push pins. Intel's one need to use a screw driver and twist it while CCF doesnt
