H100 what fans?

farq2 · 9 Oct 2011 at 20:53

I am slowly buying bits for my build details so far below. Used mostly for gaming.

I like the h100 however i want to replace the fans. It will be going in a 650d. I am happy to use two or even 4 fans with 2 on the outside! What would you guys recommend?

Also blowing in or blowing out???

I bought typhoon fans for my h100 for my 650d case. They are amazing.

I cant recommend a specific fan to you but what i would say is check that you can fit 4 , my case is the corsair 600 so while a bit different to yours there was no way i could use 4 , i had to put the 2 fans on the outside as there was no space between my radiator and the side of the memory to fit a fan , as i say your case is a bit different but just make sure in case you have a similar issue and buy a couple of fans you cant use, hope it helps.

Using a GT 1450 myself, just wish all the other ghetto fans in my rig were as quiet, then again what I get for not purchasing a fan controller.

i have 2 apache's in push / pull on my alc eco and love them, they are on a PWM splitter.

either that or the 1450 rpm typhoons.

I want to compare the typhoons on noise and temps but can warrant buying them as I have the apaches already.

I still can't find a fan review pitting the Apache against the 1450 gt. Anyone else had any luck?

At last! Its not a review on an all in one water system, but gives a good comparison on the fans.

By the look of it the 1450 GT is 2C cooler than apache fans, they look to be quieter too. The 1850 GT fans are 4C cooler than the apache and seem to be about the same noise wise.
