120mm or 140mm fan (LED) under 700.

[Thetrueblueviking]

Suggest the one which in your opinion would be the best for air-circulation.
I am going to mount it at the top of the cabinet(NZXT guadian) so suggest accordingly. It can either be 120mm or 140mm.
If suggesting online - I would prefer these 2 sites - flipkart,prime.

This or this.

The 120 mm rotates faster. So it would be better right ?
And where can I find scythe fans ?

I read good reviews about the 120mm one. So I am about to order it.

ORDERED.

Hold on - I could connect it using a 4 pin molex, right ?

On the site its mentioned that it has a 3 pin connector. Does that mean I ll have to use a 3 to 4 pin converter ?

 

[harshilsharma63]

The 3-pin connector is used to connect the fan directly to the motherboard, allowing you to monitor and alter it's speed.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I know that brother.
But both the 3 pin slots on my mobo are already used
And also every 4pin connector generally has a 3 pin. So its always convenient to buy a fan with a 4 pin connector.

Does this one have or not ? thats my query here.

did you ordered CM 2K RPM 90CFM Blue LED fans ? ( 2nd link on Mario's post ) - then you will get 3 pin to 4 pin Molex connector with the fan pack.

IMHO, CFM more important for a "case" fan and H2O pressure more important for a "rad" fan.
RPM is probably not so important.

And where can I find scythe fans ?

I could not find any locally (Kol). KAMA available at Prime.
Also at eBay. [Expensive].
If you have folks abroad, try obtaining Scythe Kaze or Delta fans.

I read good reviews about the 120mm one. So I am about to order it.

The CM R4s are one of the most commonly used 120 mm-s here in India, I think. (which is primarily due to availability rather than anything else I guess).
Don't worry too much, these are not bad.

Hold on - I could connect it using a 4 pin molex, right ?

Both fans I linked to on Flipkart come with 3-to-4 pin connector.

On the site its mentioned that it has a 3 pin connector. Does that mean I ll have to use a 3 to 4 pin converter ?

If you have free 3 pin headers, then no, else yes.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Thanks guys - I got the point.
I ordered the second one and so now from what you said, I made out that I can connect it to the female molex on the psu.


Let me install the fan at this weekend and then this thread could be closed

 

[topgear]

yep, you should be able to install them with ease but be advised about CM XtraFlo fans which has 4 pin connector ( PWM ) but there's no converter/adapter connector included in the package.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I ordered the second one namely - Cooler Master 90 CFM Blue LED Cooler
Shouldnt be any problems of that sort with this one, correct ?

 

[topgear]

no, you ordered the right stuff - there should not be any issue.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I meant to ask - shouldn't be any problems,correct ... just a typo.
Thanks by the way.
Will update the final look of the case soon after I ve installed the light and the fan.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Installed the fan. It works fine. Now I have better ventilation in the case. The only thing left is to buy a AFM cooler.
