suchuwato Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I next to guarantee you that one high CFM fan will work just as well as those 7 other fans. Fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 If you have a $200+ processor, don't you think it deserves a $30 fan? No. My $300 (at the time) Q6600 is cooled by a single Yate Loon medium speed 120mm fan that cost about $5, and my temps are very good. More money does not necessarily mean a better product. They charge that much because people like you think that way. I next to guarantee you that one high CFM fan will work just as well as those 7 other fans. Wrong. One fan can only blow in one direction. That's not enough to cool a whole case. More CFM is not always the answer. Directing the airflow properly can often be more effective than just slapping a bigger fan on, and that simply cannot be achieved with a single fan. Also, many heatsinks have a point where more CFM does not translate to more cooling (just more noise). My Thermalright XP-120 was that way. My Delta 130CFM (acquired free from an old server, not bought at highway robbery prices on newegg) cooled that heatsink worse than a 40CFM fan, and at over twice the volume.

gustie Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/flow-uni...rter-d_405.html eh?? 129,7 x by 0.589 = 763.933 CFM that sounds a bit whack?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnrangerguy Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 what is the quietest fan with over 60 cfm in a 120mm fan? I have 2 120mm ultra silent fans that push 57 cfm at 24 dba. I am looking to add more but want to find some that move more cfm without as much noise. I don't want a computer that has great cooling but sounds like a jet taking off.

The Scythe S-Flex fans are very good and quiet. The 1600rpm (F) version pushes around 64 CFM at 28 dBa. I don't think you'd see much of a difference in switching from a 57 CFM to a 64 CFM fan though. If you don't mind going into the 30 dBa range, Nanoxia makes a 120MM fan that pushes 80 CFM at 33 dBa and it comes with a fan controller to dial down the speed when needed.
