Need a Fan upgrade

The Badger · 5 Jan 2010 at 19:51

Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade my fans which are currently sitting on my rad. I have Noctua 80mm's. My temps are slowly creeping up so i believe its time for some new ones.

Which fans will move the most air and still be silent??

The fans need to be 80mm and i require 2

Many Thanks,
Pauliee.

BIP2 radiator

80mm fans, and I believe my case also has 2 x 40mm at the front.

It may be worth looking at the sharkoon 80mm at 2000rpm , Air flow: 22.7 CFM. The Noctua NF-R8 80mm 12v performance - 1800RPM, 17dBA, 22CFM
- 7.5v performance - 1300RPM, 10dBA, 17.9CFM.

If your temps are creeping up, it may be worth considering upgrading your 2x40mm case fans. Have you added components/ upgraded or is the temp increase due to house temps (heating)
