and it is NO JOKE. I actually don't use it because it is too loud.

:blink:
TD8034H 80mm 0.75A 5700RPM 84 CFM 70.4 dB

thats like a honda civic reving on your desk for as long as the things on.

but its a good fan. i just run a 3800RPM 120mm case fan from the dump. not about being good or looking good, but about getting the air out. just find a few cheap 120mm case fans that run between 3800 and 4300RPM, you don't really need to simulate a hurricane cooling it, just get the air out. but also keep in mind how many fan controllers are on your motherboard. i ran into that problem with this computer having only 2. one for the CPU fan, the other for the case fan.

as long as you can take it, just get 3 or 4 120mm fans, 2 blow in, 2 blow out, but don't keep them all in the same area, spread the cooling around.

Yes. It blows a lot of air and the loud noise is quite surprising from such a small thing.

I would prefer 3 intake and 1 exhaust in an attempt to keep the case overpressurized.

well, yea, thats good too, i only say 2 in 2 out because if you put them in seperate areas, its like having 3 in 1 out, but depending on where they are of course.

this PC just has one out and one for the CPU. works well for how i need it to.

Please explain. I don't understand how that could work.

have the two intake fans right next to each other, then one exhaust fan behind the processor[s] where a lot of heat would be, and another maybe above/around the graphics card where it isn't likely to get as hot...cool air would still build up, because you'd be expelling a lot of hot air thats not moving anyway.

First: About what case are we talking about?

Second: Do you care about noise?

Thatīs the info Iīm missing here.

Also, 4 of those 70.4dB/A fans make more then 82.4dB/A of screaming noise! Sure you donīt need power leds to know if your computer is on :P.

Go for the standard Nexus fans at 1200 RPM (?). They'll be damned quiet and still move enough air to cool your system.

Nexus are a bit over priced I think but sure not bad.
I personaly would go for a more cheaper brand 12cm fans and just replace them after each year or so when they become weak.
