Default Case fan suggestions

Hey, I have a Cheiftec Dragon Aluminum case and I am using its stock two exhaust fans, and some cheap intake fans from my old computer(2 80mm intake, and 2 80mm exhaust).

My friend with an older thermaltake case based on the same design is getting way better case temps than me, so I want to upgrade my fans. I think it would really let my Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu be more efficient.

Does anyone know of any good stores(with good shipping) that sells fans? Also, I want the fan to at least blow about 39cfm.

Thanks.

Are you bothered about noise? If not then id recommend some high CFM Delta fans.

Their 120mm model pushes 190 CFM, and their 80mm pushes a very respectable 80 CFM. They are both rated at over 50dBA so you might wanna comprimise and go for a couple of Vantec 120mms, pushing 53 CFM at 28dBA.

Frozen CPU stock Vantec 120mm, check it out http://www.frozencpu.com/scan/se=Fan...nu_search.html

Depends on how much you care about noise?

If you want you can get vantec tornados ect which will move far more air but you won't be able to live with them...

What are your current temps?

And can you fit a 80>120mm converter thingy to the rear fan? if so then a nexus fan on the back would move alot of air with hardley any noise.

I had a Tornado for like 2 minutes - no way in hell I will ever do that agin. Incidentally if you really want one I have 2 80mm Tornados in my closet I would make you a deal on.....as well as 2 ThermalTake fan ducts.


I really like Panasonic PanaFlos.......dont remember the specific model number Im using.

Higher CFM (Vantec) 80mm LED fans on a fan controller is what I would do.

I got a couple of Sunon 39cfm fans. I think I will run these as the intake and leave the exhaust as stock(31cfm Sunon fans).

Thanks for your input guys.

I just bought 5 PC Power & Cooling 80mm Silencer fans. 27CFM @ 20DB-A isn't too bad, but they do cost $8 each.
