yes the much thicker 38mm fans allow higher pressure

Actually i do have really cheap fans and ive been waiting for newegg to get the scythe gentle typhoons at 1850rpms on thing is they are 17.99 cheapest place and im going to need 6 of them ouch!!!!!

So would my tri rad even tho its the black ice gt stealth have more heat disapation then the 240 gtx extreme if so ill just swap the lines and put the cpu on the tri and the video on the dual!

the dul would probably rock it.... and then keep the heavy heat dump from the cards on trh triple....

13 bucks?

you can get teh kaze's for like 10 bucks from the ehh last time i checked, if you shop around theres alot of good deals...

my buddy Marcam923 turned me on to http://www.svc.com they have excellent deals on stuff like fans

heres the 3krpm kaze's for 9.99

yeah $17 is too much unless you are getting some deltas or something.

I dont know if u were saying to keep the cpu on the dual but i went ahead and switched them out so the cpu is on the triple black ice stealth gt and put the video on the dual gtx extreme 240! So far outstanding i lost about 5C on cpu u temps and video stayed the same. I noticed the flow on the cpu resivoir is slower and before it was much faster im begining to wonder if i was getting some heat dump on the cpu loop?

Here is a link to the fans i want

i heard that cfm does matter but also the amount of pressure a fan produces to actually go through the rad is different then a fan just moving air vs the fan moving air through a rad and these fans are top notch for the pressure and there only 28 dBA.

People saying CFM does not matter is misleading.

The reason they say that is, it can move XX CFM at 0 pressure. Once you strap it to a case or a heatsink or something, you are adding pressure and slowing down the fan.

Fin shape and quantity, as well as fan casing thickness all help increase the amount of pressure the fan produces as well as the motor.

(If you have never done it, take a nice 120x38mm high CFM/Pressure fan and lay it blowing down on your desk, then plug it in and play some air hockey :))

Thats my point exactly so is that y i should stick with those typhoons for the best pressure. I was reading that those are the best for the pressure and the low dba!

Well I do not know about that. I am sure someone around here can give you recommendations on the best fans to get. I was just trying to explain the details.


As far as the typhoons, I just googled them and they are $3 fans, so I doubt the motor has enough grunt be a high pressure fan.
