hitmaniac :
I bought the CM hyper 212 + for my FX 8320 (not yet overclock, plan to do atleast to 4 GHz). The stock fan on the cooler is the blademaster (http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/blade-master/blade-master-120/) But I wanted to get a blue led fan on the cooler, and came across CM Sickle Flow (http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/sickleflow/sickleflow-120-2000rpm-blue-led/). So would the sickleflow and blademaster run good side by side in push pull config?
All replies are appreciated. Thanks
from my experiance with both of these fans i have both the sickleflow fans are noisey as hell on full rpm i only managed to keep the noise down via using rubber mounts ( do not use the screws that come with it they are very poor quality and head tends to get damaged by simply screwing them in also had 2 stripped screws lol.) The cooling power is good though and would suggest that this fan be put to the front by the exaust case rear fan for best results make sure you have a aftermarket rear fan as well this is so the rear fan doesnt lose half the airflow e.g a slower rear fan will not get rid of the air as quickly as the cooler is pushing it towards. if you want it towards were the ram is i would suggest aercool shark fan due to the higher cfm then the blademaster

i also recomend mx4 paste its better then stock coolermaster paste for occing
