Case fans and cooling

[nuzik]

What fans are best for the cases?
There are millions to chose from, how many what size what configuration?
All advice greatly appreciated

 

[HecFam]

What case? Depends on the available fan spaces.

Any advice?

Yeah, get any one of these instead
If you plan to OC your 7950 decently, you'll want something with better airflow than the Shinobi.
That was my experience anyway

On the top of your case you can either have two 120mm case fans I'd go for these:

Or if you want two 140mm case fans go for these:

Then I'd grab another 4 for the Corsair SP120 Performance and use them for the front, rear and top cooling.

Or if you wanted to overclock you could buy a water cooled heatsink and put the radiator there.

I've gone away from water cooling. It's good but always a pain for a nooooob.
I may customise the side of the case to allow more air flow through it.

 

[WilliamC]

Oh right fair enough. But the corsair closed cuircuit water coolers are nothing complicated. Anyway them fans I showed you are very good and a reccomended buy!

Just bought 4 so I'll see how I get on with them and see if I need two more or a small case mod might help me out. I have a drill and I know how to use it....
One assumes I just replace the existing fans with new ones? My new case hasn't arrived yet as you can tell
