Akasa Venom Alternate fans?

IIDeathCubeKII · 30 Jun 2011 at 00:56

I have an Akasa Venom cpu cooler and wanted to know if I could replace the stock fans with something else, preferably with leds and no impact on performance or noise?

why would you want to , the fans on the venom are one of the best 120mm fans out there atm . good balance of air flow and noise tbh

Okay, I'll stick with them. Wasn't sure if there was an alternative with similar performance. Thanks

i used coolermaster sickleflow's, supposed to be very good, and i got red ones to go with my case.

i think the akasa venoms stock fan is slightly better, but im using 2 sickleflows (front and back) vs the one stock fan.

i put the akasa venom fan inside my vga duct in my case (coolermaster haf x).

I am also using a Venom cooler with 1 venom fan, what difference does the 2 fan setup have for temps, and what temps do you see on idle/load?

@op venom fan is a great fan should not really need to change it.

2500K @ stock

cores are 31-37 degrees C @ idle (today)

all cores @ 80% load (used winrar benchmark) are 47-52 degrees C

used coretemp for temperatures

sorry but i dont do any of this benchmarking or overclocking malarky, i dont need the power, i use my pc mainly for browsing the internet and watching downloaded movies and tv shows.

remember i am using 2 inferior fans (i bought them for show not cooling)

I was mainly asking to determine if adding a second fan would have much affect on temps, think i will leave mine as a single fan for now, the difference looks small when i compare my temps on a single fan to yours on 2 fan setup.

@OP sry for the slight hijack

I only have a single fan too, wondered if it was worth getting another one as well
