ah thought i might be yea the aerocool turbine 120mm looks good, you got one? is it any good?

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:20

ah cool can it shift a lot of air?

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:29

i intend to o/c it a lot

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:35

what? whats that mean?

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:45

i got a p4 3.2GHz prescott 478 i already have it o/ced to 3.5GHz with no case fans, but i added an extra case fan ontop of my current stock cpu heatsink/fan
im hoping to do the same thing again and as the SI-120 has a 120mm fan 2 of those as bound to be better than 2 80mm fans

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:56

yea so much lower my temps by 10-15oc (seriously) and its o/ced to 3.5GHz and at max is only hitting around 50oC

nick_lerwill · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:57

cheers. oh really try mount a fan ontop of another its so good, and i did it with 80mm fans cant wait to see what 120mm like
