I've seen fan filters by Termaltake, Nexus and other brands..
I also found that ppl recommend buying fan filters from uglyvamp at http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=837743&hl=

No one here uses fan filters??

has anyone tried replacing cm gemini fans with cm 90cfm fans?
how is the performance? any significant increase in cooling performance?
*
I do not have this product, but using the 90CFM fan should reduce the temp by a few degrees.

I recently installed 3 90CFM Cooler Master fans, 1 intake and 2 exhaust, my core temps reduced by 5C - 8C!! thumbup.gif

that fan is actually around 60cfm from what i heard lol
*
Yea..Its not exactly 90CFM, thats what I heard too but I installed 3 of them, running at full speed, the sound level is surprisingly low as I was expecting a louder noise since I installed 3 of them. And they really push alot of air!

I installed one of them at the top part of my Cooler Master 590 casing and when I put my hand 5cm from the fan, I can feel the air! I can still feel it when my hand is about 15cm away from the fan!

However I can't feel the air being pushed from my back exhaust fan. Maybe coz there are more holes for the air to go through at the top compared to the back..

seriously?!
now thats a let down. anyway, is it worthit? hows the lifespan? good?

and just one more question. will there be any of cooler master 200mm fan gonna be sold in malaysia?
if yes, approximately when?
*
At first, I was just like you..disappointed my the fans when I found out it isnt exactly 90CFM..

But after consulting members from Hardwarezone.com.sg, they say that its worth it coz it pushed alot of air and its cheap! Of course most ppl will recommend brands like Yate Loon and Scythe but Scythe is very expensive..one of the forumers here is selling for RM80 per fan and I'm not sure about Yate Loon.

So, for a RM30 fan like this Cooler Master 90CFM fan, its really reasonable. I've heard that the LEDs tend to die very fast but I do not care about LEDs anyway.

There's a thread about this fan, you can read it at: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/696093

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!


Added on February 28, 2009, 11:39 pmI need help sad.gif

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

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 sad.gif

QUOTE(ham_revilo @ Mar 1 2009, 05:00 AM)
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?
*
Nope, my PC is at the living room.

QUOTE(Bonchi @ Mar 1 2009, 05:13 AM)
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
*
The blades and the frame of the fan are greasy. I suspect that its the grease which is used to lubricate the motor..

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
*
You only need to use the screw when removing the HSF. I've got no problems with removing..only problems with fixing it..

Maybe I've already fixed it correctly..but somehow my temps are still at 50C at idle!!

50c on idle is quite normal for 65nm proc. besides that, its a quddie. my previous e6550 on idle would be around 45+/- smile.gif

I have read lots of threads regarding this matter and most ppl say that 50C is high at idle. Most of them get below 40C cry.gif

First core is always higher than the rest. Temp at 47C at load is good!! I wish I could have that..my Q6600 goes above 85C at 100% load -.-

What HSF are you using??

CCF is a lol... those that buy CCF are mostly tricked by frostytech HAHAHAHAHAHA
they are happy that their CCF cools their Core2Duo ALOT, try running them on quaddies and i7 at high voltage and speed c la

there was a user last time using q9450 @ 4ghz, he used ccf, and guess what's his temp, 88c during load...

Maybe he didn't install it properly, push pins are very troublesome tongue.gif

Your answer:
QUOTE(Bonchi @ Mar 25 2009, 06:39 PM)
well...IMO..i dont see the need of fan controllers...

for me..if the fan is loud...turn the speakers louder biggrin.gif
*
Wa..means you suggest me to turn my speakers louder during the night??
Dah la I dun like the noise by the fans..summore wan me turn on speakers louder LOL

My parent's room is near my PC, so they can hear the noise produced by the fans. Although they dun mind but still its disturbing lolz..

Icic..so you fixed it onto your HSF..your temps reduced after installing that 90CFM fan?

I love these fans, my temps dropped by 5C after installing 3 of these fans when I was using Intel stock cooler

what i use to do is to raise the fan from the filter. go hardware shops and get some extra long screws and nuts (if u need it) smile.gif

that would do the trick biggrin.gif

Lol..I'm having the same problem with iBenQ too..using CM690 + CM 90CFM fans..

I don't understand what you meant by 'raise the fan from the filter' ><

EDIT:
Err..do you mean you fix the fan far from the filter?
