Hi all,

Just wanting to ask some advice about what fan to pair with an Thermalright SI-120 or maybe even an Ultra-120 depending on which is best. It will be going in a P180 if that makes any difference

Living in the UK it's a little harder to find the same range of fans as you'd find in the US but the Akasa 120mm Amber fan seems OK.

*edit*

I can also get an acoustifan dustproof as well. Rated as pushing a bit more air but seems to be a bit noisier too and costs about twice as much as the Akasa and I'd have to order it from a different place too. http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/ [...] tproof.asp

It's only going to cool a 939 3000+ Venice core CPU at the moment but I'm hoping to upgrade to an E6600 in the next 6 months or so. I'm not going to be overclocking like crazy and I'm not anal about it being totally silent. I'd like something that's going to be decent at both I wouldn't normally asksucha n00bish question but the Thermalright lists a Panaflo fan as being suited and the Akasa fan is rated at considerably less cfm than the Panaflo and is also 12mm thinner. I'm thinking it's not a problem but thought I'd ask.

Thanks
