Hi, I will soon upgrade my computer case and fans and PSU. I have been having some trouble finding a good fan combination so I want to run this combo by you. Please tell me if it is both quiet and will provide adequate cooling. 1 Thermaltake 120MM Fan (rear, exhausting) 78CFM 21 dba 3 Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 LED - 80mm (front, top, PSU ,2 exhausting and front inhaling 1 Thermal Take 80MM Fan (side, exhaling) 21 dba, 27 CFM Arctic Cooling Super Silent 4 Ultra TCL ( heatsink for P4 socket 478) 42CFM, 18-21 dba (thermal regulator) I will also be using a manual 5.25 Drive bay fan controller but I will most likely leave all on low (7v)except fot the Thermal take 120mm. Will this provide adequate cooling and keep quiet. P.S. All of these items can be found at xoxide.com which I recommend you check out for there low prices and it is good for case modders. Specs: Asus P4C800 Mobo ATI Radeon Graphics Card (no heatsink or cooling fan installed on it) 1GB DDR Memory Intel P4 w/ HT technology 1 USB PCI card 1 550 watt PSU Thanks
1 Outake fan for Processor only..... [ot]I recieve an error message everytime when I start up my PC "Processor Fan not Detected" but its working..... [/ot]
as a general rule all fans should take air in through the front (inhale) and take air out of the back (exhale) and you should also make sure you have the same number and size of fans (both inhaling and exhaling)
3 80mm intake, one of which is over the CPU (made a big difference) and 3 80mm outtake including the PSU fan. Ive got a hdd cooler too which has 3 tiny fans on.
