So I have a question involving my upgrade to a new case. I have got a pack of 3 Thermaltake Riings (140mm) with the included controller and also got an Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 to house in my not yet arrived Fractal Design Define S (windowed) . I planed to do a push-pull setup in the front and mount the 3 Riings in the top to exhaust, but today I have noticed that the Riings need a pwm signal to light up. So I have to connect both the Riings and the 6 fans from the aio to my single cpu/pwm fan header to make full use of them. But if i use a splitter for pwm this would not work properly because the fans got different max rpms (Riing: 400-1000 or 800-1500 and Aio fans: up to 1350). I really want to use the leds in the Riings but i don`t know how to realize all of that with only one pwm header. Or would it work ? please leave suggestions and ideas how to do this Thank you

Hi, I'm looking for the most quiet case fans out there! I'm not looking for extreme performance since i don't do anything that intensive with my pc. Acoustics are the key in this thread! What are your favourites/recommendations when it comes to super quiet case fans? I've been looking at the noctua NF-A14 ULN. This seems like he most quiet there is.

Serious cooling for amd fx-8300 at 4.2ghz +
gasolin posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Fractal design define r5 3x be quiet pure wings 2 140mm 7volt (tomorrow im gonna hook them up to my nzxt zentry 2 fan controller, since my mb with my old 4 pin fans couldn't get lower than 650 rpm= not being able to run them at any of the rated rpm that was down to 200-300 and up to 1200rpm,at 5 volt my new be quiet 3pin fans are quiet,atm i use the case fan controller rated at 5,7 and 12 volt) Asus pro 970 gaming/aura, a fx 8300 at 4.2ghz and a Noctua Nh-d15 standard rpm (ai suite 3) is with high voltage idle 1.368-1.380 and load 1.332 volt (140-150watt) around 500 rpm and is quiet and load (prime 95 small fft) is around 900-100 rpm not loud but noticeable,but it's only at max load so i won't reach that speed,noise under 100%, unless it's summer My limited is 4.2ghz, not because of my cpu or mb, but because of temps Because i want to run at 4.3,4,4 or 4.5ghz (felt 4.2ghz made a difference compared to 4.1ghz in games) i would like to have some surgestions for a serious cooling for my fx 8300,i do run it with no power saving enabled so it's power all the time on all cores I can afford to buy a corsair h100 but the stock fans are to loud and it would cost me atleast 40€ morefor better more quiet fans (live in denmark) and that is over my limited I would like to have the top closed and either use a 240mm in the front (don't use the bottom drive cage) and use one of the 2 be quiet fans at the bottom if theres space for the fan, depending on the thickness of the fan and radiator Last options i might consider as the best option is a 140mm aio, could be something from Alphacool or mabye Swiftech (or what you surgest), with 1 or 2 fans inside of my case, 2 fans of course in push pull configuration like the alphacool eisbear 120 and use the rear exhaust fan in the bottom closest to the lower front fan as a exhaust fan (no space under my gpu since i have a long evga supernova 1000p2 psu) What would you surgest med to look at? my limited is 120€ (the price of a corsair h100 in denmark) and im NOT look for something that sounds like a hair dryer on speed -
Sup folks, I've got a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX case with a pre-installed badass 200mm fan in the front. Although I like the looks (looks like a frigging prop-plane about to take off), I was wondering how it would compare to a pair of 140's. They'll be intake with one 120mm exhaust out the back, one dual 120mm radiator (so 1 radiator with 2 120mm fans) set for push-exhaust out the top. 200mm VS 2×140mm.... FIGHT! Thanks in advance, Regards, TJ

I recently got 2 replacement fans for one of the stock fans that started making this grinding noise, I wanted to ask if anybody got a good recommendation to get the air moving in and out efficiently I noticed my CPU temps are 2-3 degrees lower with the side panel open, which probably leads me to believe there is lot more warm air inside. Fan placement is at the top I got a little carried away making the image above, the choices are labeled with letters so I can add a poll, as more people would be happier to just press a single button to choose though I would love to read your reasoning for your choice.

I built a system about a year ago with a Thermaltake core v21, and im really not very happy with it. I want to upgrade to a Corsair Carbide 400c, im not sure What fans to buy and i dont have any from before (the thermaltake came with One massive fan in the front and that was all i used) but the 400c case comes with 2 corsair af L fans, One 120mm and One 140mm. Are those enough? Im running an i5 with stock cooler and an r9 380x.

Corsairs LL140 series of fans come in at most 2 fans in a pack with a lighting node pro that only has 2 led control plug ins. I want to control 3 LL140 fans so do I have to spend money on another lighting node pro to get those 2 extra led control plug ins or can I just plug the third rgb header into my motherboard and still be able to use the same Corsair software as the other two fans plunged into the lighting node pro?

So i’m planning a new build that will be my first time doing a full custom loop and I’ve been pondering going with a crossflow radiator for some time now during the planning process but wasn’t sure. The build would be in a Fractal Design Node 304 (yes I know Fractal says that you can only do a 120 or 140 CLC but I say otherwise) and both the GPU (planning on a RTX 2080 Ti) and CPU (8 core 3rd Gen Ryzen or 12 core if leaks are real) will be included in the loop. I have plans to put a 184mm rad in the front though for the rear i’m unsure if I should go with a 30mm crossflow or a 54mm dual passthrough radiator; both front and back will be in push/pull if all goes according to plan. I’ve looked around and all the CLCs that I find (Corsair, NZXT, Cooler Master) all seem to have 30mm thick radiators. The order will go CPU/140/GPU/184 and the pump will be integrated onto the CPU block. I’ve gone ahead and started modding the front of the case by cutting out a hole in the front panel for direct airflow that i’ll go ahead and fixate some mesh to for some filtration. Black Ice Nemesis 140GTX Dual Corehttps://www.performance-pcs.com/black-ice-nemesis-140gtxr-dual-core-xtreme-profile-radiator-black-carbon.htmlBlack Ice Nemesis 140GTS XFlowhttps://www.performance-pcs.com/black-ice-nemesis-140gtsr-xflow-ultra-stealth-cross-flow-low-profile-radiator-black-carbon.html#FeaturesBlack Ice Nemesis 184GTX Dual Corehttps://www.performance-pcs.com/black-ice-nemesis-184mm-dual-core-xtreme-profile-radiator-black-carbon.htmlSwiftech Apogee II CPU Block/Pump https://www.performance-pcs.com/hot-swiftech-apogee-drive-ii-cpu-waterblock-with-integrated-pump-amd-version.html#Features UPDATE So did some more research on theoretical thermal performance. According to the (estimated) math the 184mm radiator has an estimated cooling volume of 1,000,000m/cubed, the 140GTS has about 750,000m/Cubed, and the 140GTX has about 1,400,000m/cubed. Now according to the chart on the Performance PC product pages a 140GTX has a estimated cooling capacity of 550W while a 120GTX (estimated 1,100,000m/cubed) does about 450W; which would mean that the 184mm should be able to handle roughly 416.999W (400W to be on the safe side for margin of error). Now according to the Tom's Hardware review of the 2080 Ti Founders Edition it pulled just shy of 280W during gaming and torture tests with about 360W at abs peak so the 184mm radiator should have no problem keeping the GPU under control as it would be receiving fresh cool air from the front. Now seeing has the 120GTS has about 625,000m/cubed cooling volume and is about the size of your typical 120mm CLC radiator that (in my uneducated opinion) used to be more than enough to cool anything and everything on the CPU side of things up until recently with intel's inclusion of the 9900K which loves to run really hot; it would be reasonable to assume that either option (GTS or GTX) should be able to cool better than a typical 120mm CLC with the GTX pulling ahead significantly. Obviously at this point it's clear that even though larger than a 120mm, the 140GTS is not as much bigger as I had hoped on it being. However the question still remains that given the possibility that I do not have clearance for the 140GTX radiator (which I will have to do some paper mock ups of to do rough estimates for sizing) would the cross flow radiator be theoretically good enough to cool a 8-core Ryzen 3000 CPU given that in the demo that AMD showed off it consumed about 30% less power than a 9900K which according to Gamers Nexus can pull up to about 200W.

Hi I have a fractal design define xl r2 It comes with 3 140mm fans. I have put 2 at the front for intake, one at the rear for exhaust. Would it be a good idea to take a spare 120mm as bottom intake? I am air cooling a 8700k and 1070 Thanks for your advice

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase a Phanteks Evolv X and looking for 6 140mm fans to put in the case (1 Rear, 3 Front, 2 Top with a 280mm rad). Noctua's have been insanely well regarded for a long time but it seems recently the competition has stepped up significantly. I don't care about LEDs or RGB. I'd like relatively quiet (doesn't have to be silent) fans with a good PWM range. Some of the current fans I'm looking at with their pricing in my location are: Corsair ML140 2-Pack ($45/$22.50 ea) Corsair ML140 PRO ($35) Noctua 140mm range from $38-$45 ea depending on model be quiet! Silent Wings 3 ($29) Happy to consider all options!

Definitely stupid but I have to ask, is it possible to fit a 140mm fan onto a tower cooler that originally came with a 120mm fan? Specifically A Cryorig H7 Lumi.

The Fractal Design Meshify C's front can accept either two 140mm fans or three 120mm fans. Assuming I want things to be as cool as possible in my case should I go with the two or three? I assume 140mm fans are more powerful, but the fact that you get 3 of the 120s makes me unsure of which to go with. Any thoughts on which would be better for a cooler PC? Edit: Okay so turns out I should've googled this first because I'm definitely going 140mm. You have to take out the PSU shroud to go with three 120mms. My bad wish we could delete posts lol

Just curious if anybody has this case and has tried substituting the three 120MM RGB fans with two 140MM ones? I'm just unsatisfied with the amount of noise I'm getting from my fans and want to upgrade to something a little quieter, but with the way the mesh is in the front I think it might look pretty goofy with two 140 and I'd like to keep RGB for my front panel.

i am planning on getting 2 140mm fans for the top of my case would it be better if they were push or pull ? (like witch one will be better for vrm cooling

I have been looking for tests it real world info on the Aerocool DS(dead silent) 120mm and 140mm fans. I found a review from I think kitguru. But all they did was swap the aerocool fans in for a corsair aio, result was that it cooled the same or slightly better( 1 to 2 c) but was quieter, by quieter they said they can only test to a low of like 27 decibels. And this was an open bench I think. Anyone have these fans and Any info? The claims on the website have more cfm more pressure and as quiet as noctuas. But no one ever says they use them?

Hello, this is my first review, and in this review im talking about the Bitfenix Spectre Pro RGB 140mm. TLDR is down below, lets begin. In the age of rgb fans, it is immensly difficult to find a good rgb 140mm fan with a 4pin rgb connector, instead thermaltake, corsair etc all use proprietery cables, so you have to use their software. I find the onboard software on my gigabyte board enough, so no need to download extra programs. So i was immensly intrigued when i found a fan at my local store, which had ASUS aura support, which means that the fan has a standard 4 pin rgb connector. It also was cheap for an rgb fan at only 18€, all the Corsair and Thermaltake and NZXT etc RGB 140mm fans were all over 30€. So what is in the box? In the box is 4x screws, 4x rubber screws, 4x rubber groments, 1x molex to 4pin (mine didnt work, the fan didnt spin), 1x rgb cable and thats the lot. Why am i mad? Because there is no Low Noise adaptors as said on the box, so whats up @Bitfenix ? The importance of that adaptor comes out further down the review. So lets talk about "silent operation" as said on the package. FAN NOISE The fan claims silent operation on the package and 22.8 db. For comparasions sake i will compare it to the fan i replaced with, BeQuiet Pure wings 2, a two times cheaper fan (9€ compared to the bitfenix 18€). The PureWings 2 claims a noise level of 18.8db, so a pretty small difference. Both fans are connected directly to the psu, as my motherboard doesnt have enough headers, that means both fans are full speed. The Bequiet is barely audible at full speed, but the Bitfenix makes it sound like my pc is going to fly away, it is really that loud. I belive that it will be silent at 50% speed, but that really isnt possible for me right now. That is why i needed the low noise adaptor, which was on the box, but wasnt included.... Now i need to order one on amazon or something... To bitfenix credit, the fan pushes an amazing amount of air. It says 86 CFM on the box compared to bequiet 60, but i belive that in reality it is closer to 100 CFM. So why would you pay 2x more for a much louder fan? RGB The RGB on that thing is nice and very bright, nothing more to say really. The color accuracy is fine, except for yellow, for some reason yellow colour is more of a lime, but all other colors are very accurate. The RGB is located in the motor hub not on the outside like on some ugly rgb fans, so the resulting color is very clear, as the translucent fins glow nicely. CONCLUSION/TLDR PROS- Bitfenix has made an rgb fan with no damn proprietry connector, so you can plug it straight into the motherboard. Lots of accessories. (but the most important one missing) While the fan is very noisy, it pushes about as much air as my 200mm front intake fan. The rgb is bright, and white fins glow nicely, because the rgb is located in the fan motor hub. While it was 2x more expensive than BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 140mm, it also was 2x cheaper than Corsair LL140 or Thermaltake Riing Premium 14. NOPES- There was no included low noise adaptor, while on the box it said that there should be. Fan is very noisy at 100% speed compared to a 2x cheaper fan. Yellow is lime. If you have any questions about the fan let me know. Sooner or later i might get a new motherboard, or some 9v or 7v adaptors.

I have a nzxt s340 elite and was wondering what is the best setup to get positive air pressure with only space for 4 fans. Right now I have 2x140mm fans sucking air in from the front and pushing it through a radiator (kraken x62) and 2x120mm fans (one in the back and one in the top) as exhaust. Is this enough or should I flip the top fan? Btw I'm using the fans that came with the radiatior and case, so would it be a good idea to keep the orientation and just change the fans for some noctua nf-f12/nf-f14 fans?

I want to add 2 140mm fans to the top of my case, but I don't know if they both will fit together. What worries me is will there be enough space between the fans. What do you think?

Would a simple 140mm AIO loop be a viable cooling source for an i7-8700k if I don't plan on overclocking? My friend has the 140mm that they never ended up using and told me I could have, but I wasn't sure it would be enough.

Hi, so I've always been for 120mm fans for all of my NZXT S340 fans, I'm talking 2 120mm intakes, a 120mm at the top, and a 120mm at the back. I don't know why either. I'm wondering, are there any airflow benefits that I could potentially gain from converting to 140mm intakes? I would be going from 2 Corsair SP120 RGB fans to 2 Corsair LL140 RGB fans if I were to make the switch.

Hi guys, Had my Cryorig R1 Universal for a while, the front thin fan has become wobbly after less than a year, pretty disappointing, so looking for a replacement. Obviously I want it to be as thin, I have a small bit of room to work with before I hit the ram, but would rather not push my luck (and I really hope I can get a fan on there without taking the cooler off). Suggestions welcome, I just don't think I'll reward Cryorig by buying another fan from them, especially not this again (I think its either the XT140 or XF140, the thinner one).

Hello, I was hoping you guys could help me figure out which case to buy in terms of high airflow value. The Budget is pretty much not set, as prices differentiate from the US and Norway, so the cheaper it is, obviously the better, but i dont want to sacrifice build quality, quirks etc etc. But im looking at something at 100 USD. I cant seem to find any good combination as im seeing 3 fans in the front, but then only 1 on top and back, or 2 fans in front and 3 on top and 1 back. So i was hoping you could provide some cases that has 2/3 fans in front aswell as 2/3 fans on top, and 1/2 fans on the bottom for a "fantastic" case while also having a window. Though im not picky, so wether its acryl or tempered glass doesnt matter, but if you can find the latter, it would be Nice. Also im not planning on any Liquid builds, altough future plans might be AIO coolers, though do not take that in account EDIT: Forgot to add that it needs to support ATX board, and i do not mind it being a full Tower or weighing 50 pounds, i have no restriction there what so ever. Any answers is appreciated, and thanks for providing helpfull information

Hello, Im deciding on a cooling solution for a ryzen 3 1300x which i am going to overclock to 4ghz. i would prefer watercooling as it looks cleaner in a tempered glass case, so would i need a 120mm radiator or a 240mm? Thanks
