Hey, I'm from Austria and on an austrian website I saw this fan:

Thermaltake TT6025 CAP Storm Fan, 7200rpm

I'd give you a direct link to the product from the site, but it always shows on the main site address in the URL bar, instead of a "more detailed link."

Sorry

Now to my questions:
its a 60x60mm. I wanted to exchange my current 60x60 CPU fan(The one on the big heatsink), and was wondering if that one fits on there? Same size.. just not sure if a cpu HS fan has to be something special.

Is it a good fan in general? Good fan for CPU HS?

Sorry for the questions, im a new when it comes to computers.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with that particular fan. but if it's the same size it'll match up fine as far as fit.

Whether it will increase cooling depends on what your stock fan's specs are.

All in all, you would be better off finding a HS that accepts a larger fan that will move more air, more quietly in my opinion. (there are also adapters that will fit an 80mm fan to a 60mm HS)

Some of those smaller TT fans will run you out of the room...lol

"Some of those smaller TT fans will run you out of the room...lol"

What does that mean? "run you out of the room"? lol

The one that's on it now is the standard one that came with the cpu when i bought it, so i doubt its any good(or better than that TT one)

the MAIN reason i'm getting this one is because of its "looks."
The one I have right now is keeping it cool enough(for my needs, im not an overclocker or anything). This one looks way better though - but i was wondering if its gonna meet my needs!
thanks for the info

heres the fan i belive you are talking about Pilsi

Look familer?

Now two things, is this the 6025 fan you are talking about? Cause acccouding to Thermal Take it only pushes 4500 CFM, not the 7500 advertised you are talking about. I dont see thermal take has a 7500RPM solution.

Anyways, that fan pushes 21CFM, which might be adquete, but it would be better to know what kind of CPU you are running along with what kind of heat sink

That's the fan im talking about. Although the site im buying it from says 7500rpm.

I'm running a XP2000+ with a standard heatsink that came with the processor(same with the fan that's currently on it. It's a green flat one, 60x60 as well)

ok heres your problem.

AMD Heatsink = Square(4 holes)


This Orb Fan = Round (3 holes)



First of all you would have a hell of a time getting the two connected. Second this particular fan was ment as an upgrade for the various Dragon Orb Products that thermal take sells. ( Which all Suck In my honest and humble opnion)

It was ment to go on one of these


So in conclusion, there really is no reason to replace the fan, tempreture wise , if you are a non-serious user, dont do much overclocking, or extreme gaming the Retail Heatsink is adequeate( which is a streatch)

If you want to replace if purley for asthetic reasons, you would be best of going with a completly new Heatsink fan combo. Of which we would be happy to recomend plenty

duh... lol

Thanks for the info, only part that sucks: I already bought it ;(
I didnt think... they made fans with 3 screws.

Lesson lerned: Before I buy any other product concerning computers where I have no clue about, I will come to PR forums and ask

So...is there any OTHER thing I could do with this now? Maybe it'll be possible to mount it diagonal with 2 screws? ;P

I dont overclock, but I am a gamer(although It's just CS, not the most graphically advanced game, hehe)
I really DONT wanna buy a new heatsink/fan combo, because they tend to be rather expensive(at least here in europe from what ive seen). Plus I have no clue how to put them on the processor with thermal paste or whatever else you have to do ;(

sucks to be a noob, lol.

Once again, thanks for the info. Not the type i wanted to hear, but better than screwing something up

You could make it work but you have to have some mod skillz to do it.
You can cut a custom adapter plate for it out of alum or copper stock.
I wouldn't recomend it though. See if you can return it or stop shipment and get a differant one.
