[barrymobiel]

hi,

i'm building a new pc and i'm wondering which case I should take.
I want a silent pc.
I hear that some people have problems with the side fan of the cm 690, does everyone have that problem?
I want to put these items in my pc:
Asus AM3 M4A89GTD PRO USB3 HDMI DVI VGA DDR3
AMD AM3 Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz BOX
ASUS ATI 5850 Direct CU 1GB DDR5 voltage tweak ed.
Kingston DDR3 4GB 1333MHz (2x2GB) CL9
Antec true power 550W

I hope you can help me!

You should have no problem with a side fan on a CM 690 there's two mounting spots to choose from.
I assume they're referring to cpu cooler interfering with a side fan.
I have a CM Hyper 212+ a 120mm side fan in a CM 690 no problems.

Yup, either the antec or the CM will be great. My suggestion, go for the CM as imo it looks better

Is your cm hyper 212+ quiet ?

 

[marshan10]

You might want a quieter fan for your CPU. The stock AMD ones can get quite loud.

Is the coolermaster hyper 212+ a stock cooler ?

 

[Hereisphilly]

Is the coolermaster hyper 212+ a stock cooler ?

No, the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ is an aftermarket cooler, but is significantly better than the stock cooler

 

[davcon]

Is your cm hyper 212+ quiet ?

No i wouldn't consider the fan that comes with the 212+ quiet.
Put a Nexus or Thermalright Silent-X on it if you want quiet.

I use the Silent-X it's cheaper

I already have a CNPS7500-Cu LED, can I use this cooler for an amd 1055T processor ?

Can I place an antec tri-cooler or antec smart cool cooler on the cm hyper 212+?

 

[barrymobiel]

I use this website: http://www.forcom.be/?cat=105&sub=COO&soort=
I'll buy hardware from this shop.

I would mount the Hyper as it is if you think the fan is too loud put one of these on it.

I really wouldn't use that fan, for 2 reasons

1. I've got the red version, and although it is quiet, there is a buzzing when on full power, its really annoying
2. Second, and most importantly, it is now a PWM fan. This means that the motherboard cant regulate the speed, so it will be at full power all the time, and most motherboards do not start if there is not a PWM fan installed. Try looking for an akasa apache PWM fan, or a scythe slipstream pwm fan

Do you know a good fan from this website? : http://www.forcom.be/?cat=105&sub=COO&soort=
It's a dutch website, I hope it wouldn't cause much trouble.

 

[Hereisphilly]

Sorry, i had a search around and that site has a limited range of fans, and doesn't sell any pwm fans. Any other sites you could use?

Not realy but I could import a fan, so if you have a good site that exports to Belgium that would be great

 

[Hereisphilly]

This is the best fan you can get for it imo. Does amazon.de ship to belgium? I dont know

Do your both fans blow air in the cooler or 1 in and 1 out ?

 

[Hereisphilly]

its a push pull setup on my scythe yasya, its very hard to mount 2 fans on top of each other. so looking from the top of the cooler, it goes fan-->block-->fan

so 1 fan blows air in the block and the other 1 blows air out of the block?

 

[Hereisphilly]

yeah, the first fan pulls air from outside the case and pushes it through the block, towards the second fan....
which pulls air out of the block and pushes it out into the case/exhaust fan

Is the fan that comes with the hyper 212+ loud or is it best that i buy 2 new fans that you recommended?
