Im plannin on gettin a gf fx5900...so i was wondering about my coolin for my pc. Is there any diff between 80mm fans? Once I get my vid card, the cooler on it will fit onto the pci slot..which means ALL my pci slots will be full..so is there any other way I could cool my cpu?
The easiest thing to do for cooling your computer, is to get ahold of some high RPM fans and fit them into empty fan bays or existing fan bays. Also, make sure all your wires/cables are nicely bundled up and neatly arranged, as this can make a HUGE difference in air flow inside your case.
well some fans push more air than others, but the differences are usually marginal.
And higher fan speed = more airflow = more noise.
Good case cooling is essential nowerdays, and often is as important as having good cpu cooling. A good case with multiple fanholes that can breath easily is a good start.
If you dont have any you can dremel more.
Highspeed casefans arnt essential, but unrestriced airflow is a must.
