Choosing a new case fan

Forum Overclocking : Heatsinks & Air Cooling Choosing a new case fan

Word :    Username :           
 

I have a In-Win Allure matx case, with a 400 psu. I want to install a new rear case fan. The case fan has to be 90 mm. I see two 90 mm fans that I am looking at. One from Masscool:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835150031

and the other from thermalTake:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] &body=MAIN

Which fan have better performance? and for the ThermalTake fan it has an temperature probe. Is the temp probe for the cpu or monitor the overall temperature inside the case?

thank you.

The temp probe is for overall temp. Also check on noctua fans there good and really silent. For performance, don't just look at cm3 air per second but also for DBA (noise) they make .

Not a lot of data or reviews on 90mm fans. I have links that are very extensive. Guess what? All are for 120mm fans.

Starting to see tests and reviews on 140mm fans.

That should help you see what I'm trying to say.............

Will this be a good build to overclock 2500k to 5.0GHz?

I'm the one that told him that a Silver Arrow will get to 5Ghz, so I'll take the blame...
