Intake Fan

Re: Intake Fan

If you want a good performing fan you will have to pay for it in noise. My old Thermaltake 80mm fan could shift 60cfm of air but it was very very loud.

Depends on how loud you want it to be. I just fitted 3 Akasa AmberUltra quiet fans and they are pretty good and shift decent amount of air. Have you got space for a 120mm fan? The bigger the fan, the more air it shifts and are usually quieter.

Re: Intake Fan

What fans are they? Specs? Is the air flow path restricted? Make sure all cables are neatly tidied away...thats a key to help cool a system.

Re: Intake Fan

i think ima get the spider one, if it strong enough to suck in air through a filter, im sure it can with my case, which has even more room for air to travel in, what you guys think?

Re: Intake Fan

Has the front of your case got a perforated front panel for the intake fans? Most low/mid range cases have a poorly designed front panel that really hinder fans performance by starving them of air. My case is an example of that with only a cut of a few inches underneath the front panel to suck air through. Even the pre drilled holes in the steel of the fan mounts restrict air flow. Im thinking of cutting mine out.

Re: Intake Fan

Hmm, these two are very good, the second one pulls in a LOT of air:
