Which Case Fan To Get?

[unkal_sam]

My cabinet (X-tech) didn't come with one, so i am planning to buy one with my graphic card. I'll be installing it in the rear. Which one do i go for 120mm or 80mm? Should i use it as an exhaust or intake? Budget 300-400 bucks.

Phenom II X4 960T
Gigabyte M68MT-S2
Corsair 4GB DDR3
Seagate 500GB
Planning to get HD 6670

I would suggest that you go for a 120 mm case fan....and if this is your only case fan, then this must be installed as an exhaust at the rear....

first check fan of what radius can be fit. usually the local cabinets doesn't have support for 120mm fans, usually 80mm. so check & buy.

^^ here's the manufacturer of the OP's cabby
:: Xtech International ::

@ OP - at 300-400 bucks you can get one CM 120mm 120RPM Silent Fan ( non LED ) @ Rs. 250 and a 80mm CM fan @ Rs. 150 but as sam has said you need to make sure what type of fan ( 80mm/120mm) can be attached on the rear of the cabby - first make sure about this and only then buy the fan(s).

^^ there's many manufacturers and models with different specs - best would be to visit websites like theitwares. primeabgb, smc international etc.

@doomgiver, send SMC a mail asking about price of 80mm & 120mm fans from cooler master & similar brands. ITWares & Prime charge more for the same item with really high carrying charge.
