Just ordered the Prolimatech Megahalem from performance-pcs.com and I need to know if I ordered a good fan or f it will not work without modifications? I returned the Xigmatech Dark Knight cooler, hoping this one will be better.

The FM121 is a superb 120mm fan package with manual adjustable fan controller. Equipped with 9 fan blades, it offers elevated quietness and performance levels beyond traditional 7 bladed fans. Finding a perfect speed for this fan in any given application is simple on the included aluminum fan controller. Constructed out of high strength white colored plastic and polished to a smooth shine, the FM121 is the ultimate solution for any PC and HTPC enthusiasts looking to upgrade their 120mm fan.[/cpp]

I'm using a Cooler Master HAF 932 case and I have just replaced the top 230mm fan with 3 Cooler Master R4 series fans (Red L.E.D)

and thinking about ordering 4 more for the side panel to move some serious air.

The reasoning behind the added/exchanged fans and different cooler are because I was getting temps that seemed high for the case and set-up I had. I have also ordered OCZ Freeze compound to use instead of the Tuniq TX-2 and I ordered 2 Xigmatek fans, one to mount in the bottom near the PSU and one to try and mount in the optical drive cage above the DVD burner.
