ATCS 840 cooling question

Apem · 23 Feb 2011 at 16:22

Got a couple of fan questions for this case guys.

I already have a Scythe 140/120 for the bottom of it. I am thinking of ordering some CM Sickle Flow fans for the HD cage mounts and possibly 1 for exhaust depending on what cooler i go for what do you think to the fans?

I am currently using a Thermalright True 120 Black on my 775 mobo but im going to change my cooler soonish. In the mean time im thinking of either fitting some Apache Blacks or Alpenfohn 140 Wing Boost fans, Im unsure if the 140 wing boost fans will fit my cooler but i noticed they do have 120mm mounting holes. I know they do a 120mm version but looking at the info ive found the 120mm version is not very good on coolers where as the 140mm version is very good on coolers. What do you guys think or perhaps you have a better suggestion I would like to use pwm fans for the cooler though if you can keep that in mind if you have any suggestions pls.

In a couple of weeks I will be changing my cooler to either the Corsair H50/70 , BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro but ive also been considering the Prolimatech coolers. I just can not seem to make my mind up as to which way to go at all.

Thanks

Going from a TRUE to a h50/70 is a downgrade either get a thermalright archon, silver arrow or noctua d14.
I'd get the archon it's superb.

Im going for a all black theme inside apart from the Sickle Flow fans so the Archon , Silver Arrow or the Noctua wont fit in to how im wanting the insides to look also the true I have wont fit with any future upgrades I do with my system. Thanks though C64 appriciate the help.

Any more suggestions please guys going to be ordering the last of my parts tomorrow or friday namely the last of the pre bradied cables and the fans. Then the new cooler will be ordered in a couple more weeks.

Do you think the Alpenfohn 140 Wing Boost fans will fit my current cooler or should I stick with going with adding the Apache fans?
