CPU cooler

I think you missed my point.
Dimensions will always be there. However how much on either side is never mentioned

Anyway - to be on the safer side I ll have to take some measurements and choose the one which would sit there comfortably.

@Mandar - are u using the evo with both the fans ?

 

[mandarpalshikar]

Yes I am.... See my post about new ram I got in show off thread... You'll get the idea in one of the pics.
Sine you are having corsair vs sticks.. don't bother about dimm slots. Only check if the dimensions i.e. end to end length fits in your cabinet. And height as well.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Note that the scale I used has ~4 to 5 mm edge length.

I think the Hyper 212 Evo and the ram modules won't create any isues - even if Evo comes above one of the ram slot the ram module should easily slip under the cooler.

I am ordering this - *www.primeabgb.com/index.php?page=s...tegory_id=163&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=54

And going to put some good fans ~ 600 budget for each for a push and pull

Ordered it.

Dont think there should be a problem as the dimensions are very similar to the evo.

Its 1 cm longer and thicker. height is the same.

Some suggestions for good 120*25 mm fans please. Something post 90 CFM.
Budget = 1.3k

I read its quite better than the hyper evo and offers performance close to the likes of nh-d14, silver arrow and h80.

Any-one having bad experience/thoughts about the same ?

Add two of these in push pull
I had good experience with this with Hyper TX3 evo

 

[mandarpalshikar]

I'm also using two xtra flo fans.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Ok.
But isnt there something above 90 CFM ?
Also - whats the main diff between xtraflow and Cooler Master 90 CFM Blue LED Cooler: Flipkart.com

These are my current stats using stock intel cooler -

Just wondering - if the cpu can cool down to 60 deg while maintaining 100 % load in the cooling test, why doesn't it maintain the same temp just before the cooling test starts ?

P.S - the stock cooler speed is set to normal in the bios

MegaMind,d3p
PM them for reviews and fans used.

90cfm is probably near the peak a 120mm fan can push without making too much noise.
For higher cfm, you might have to opt for larger fans.

XtraFlo most likely has the highest cfm/rupee.
Xtraflow has slightly higher rpm, higher cfm and 3pin connector.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Thanks for that
You didnt answer the last part of my previous post


Also - Would there be much of a difference between the xtraflo and the blue one ?
theres only a difference of 3CFM and 200 RPM. And the blue one is by default a 3 pin but comes with a 3-4pin converter.

If there isnt going to to be much of a difference I ll opt for the blue ones. I wish we had the xtraflow i blue too.

^^My (office)proxy disables images and stuff, so there isnt much I can make out from your post. Will see that when I get back home.

Cooler Master XtraFlo 120 Blue LED

You might have to look locally, since I cant find it anywhere online.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Sure.
I ll ask at local stores.

 

[jackal_79]

A RED LED version is available online:
Cooler Master XtraFlo 12025 PWM Red LED Fan, prices - ShopMania

Cooler Master XtraFlo Cooler: Flipkart.com

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I specifically mentioned I didnt like the red ones

 

[jackal_79]

I specifically mentioned I didnt like the red ones

Oh! It looks like only red one available online in India. Or you can try locally with these:

I ordered the blue 90 CFM one. It offers almost the same performance.
I already have one of the blue 90 CFM installed in my case.

They sent 1 Thermalright 60 cfm 120mm fan with the cpu cooler. I first thought that it would be of no use as I will need identical fans for push and pull. But later on it clicked to me that I should replace the blue CM 90 cfm on my case with this one and order another of the CM 90 CFM fan so I can use it for push and pull

 

[Myth]

I like the 90cfm blue ones. Got 2 of those.

By the way, how many total fans do you have in the cabinet now, excluding this new proc fan ?
If you have 1 front input fan (powerful),1 rear exhaust fan then go for a push-pull config with additional fans.
A push pull config wont be much effective if the cabinet doesnt have proper ventilation.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I have 4 fans in the case excluding push pull.
2 NZXT fans for intake - one at the front and one at the centre of the side panel.
2 fans as exhaust - one Thermalright at the top and one NZXT at the back.

Dont know how powerful the default NZXT fans are. But they seem to be good.

 

[Myth]

If you have an asus mobo, use the AISuite to check and calibrate the fans.
Else try speedfan.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I have speed fan. But all my fans are connected to the psu.
BTW - I always have a problem screwing up the 120 mm fans on my case with the default screws that come with the fans - Idk why
