I recently bought the H80i and Jetflo 120mm fans, i wasn't happy on the DBA of the stock fans on the H80i, and was going to replace those fans but came across a forum saying these fans will destroy the Corsair H80i or H100i cooler if hooked up directly, would this do so? and why? if not will the DBA be much lower? and whats a good temperature for a FX 8350(set RPM) @ 4.2g(non-clocked)
Thanks in advance

Firstly, sorry to semi-hijack this thread! But what speed do you have your JetFlow's running at? And can you lower their speed to make them "silent" (or at least so quiet that they're effectively silent from a reasonably small distance away)? I'm thinking of getting 2 of these and running them at low rpm's as I like a quiet computer, but having the ability to speed up the fans a substantial amount would prove useful for gaming in the summer :D

Awesome, thanks :D But do they provide decent enough airflow at those speeds? Of course no fan at 500RPM or so is going to move a hurricane of wind, but is it enough airflow to be worth getting a pair? :)

Nice :) I'll be linking them up to the fan headers on a Maximus VI Gene, so I'll be able to use fanxpert 2 (or whatever it's called) to speed the fans up a little when I'm gaming, but I'd still prefer silence over slightly higher temps. It's nice knowing you can get either silence or high airflow with these fans, depending on what you're doing, and without having to get a fan that's brown :p :D
