vantec 80mm fan... not your typical one... this bad boy is pushing 84cfm... the heatsink is a solid copper Thermalright SLK-900(A) and i'm using artic silver 5.... i noticed a 2 degree F drop using 5 vs 3.
bought this stuff from
www.HardcoreCooling.us
i really wanted the 92mm vantec that pushes 114cfm... but the 80 is working just fine!...
as for sound,,,, hehe after a few days.. everyone will get used to it i guess.. i have a huge case thats pretty thick so the noise is dampened a bit.. i have 4 80mm fans on the case and a enermax 500w power supply with dual fans.
lemme find a mic and i'll post a wave for ya to hear.
49c aint too hot to smoke a greenie... i've seen them run like flawless @64C water cooled... heck.. i saw one hit 72C once... heh
40 dba... omg how do you know its even working... LOL
mine runs at 55dba or so.. alot less noise outside of the case..
