So I just recently completed my first build which consisted of an Amd Athlon 760k, Hyper TX3 cooler, and a dual-x 270x video card.
Now when I booted up the system I checked the temperature and the idle temperature was around 32.7C-32.9C after about 5 minutes of running.
Now I have a Silverstone PS08 case that supports a front intake 120mm fan and your choice of installing a rear 92mm or 80mm fan.
So for the rear fan I chose the antec tricool (clear) 92mm fan for $5 and it seems to move a lot of air out of the case, which is good.
Now to my question(s). The Silverstone PS08 case came with a stock 120mm intake fan. With that said,
Question #1: Do most people keep the stock intake fans in place?
Question #2: Would it be recommended to get an aftermarket intake fan to potentially increase cooling?
Question #3: Are aftermarket fans typically better at cooling (more cfm's) than stock case fans?
Question #4: What CFM value would be most beneficial for a 120mm fan that intakes air? 50, 60, 70, etc?
Question #5: What are the brands you trust the most as far as fans are concerned? Would an 120mm antec fan do well? I've come across one board talking about cougar fans? Don't know anything about those, but yeah, any suggestions are welcome!
Thank you all in advance!
