Hey Yewen,

I got the lian li s80b after reading your review and seeing the pics you posted.

What fans should i use with this case?

I seem to be getting quite high temps lol not surprised with the climate at the moment.

was thinking these :-

YS-TECH FD1238 120mm Fan - 4 Pin (FG-004-YS)
If you want the best performing 120mm fan available, look no further than the amazing YS-TECH FD1238. Pushing no less than a monstrous 125CFM, this fan provides the ultimate custom case cooling solution. Fitted with a 4-pin Molex (PSU) passthrough connector.

- Speed - 2800RPM
- Output - 125CFM
- Decibels - 40.5dBA
- Dimensions - 120x120x38 NOT SURE ON SIZE OF ORIGINALS as i am at work

But would they fit?

Cheers

trust me mate, with the s80b you wont hear much sound, but it does need more air shifting inside.

Its a dual skin case, ie 2 seperate panels per side lol. very quiet.

cheers

hey up,

cheers for the reply,

I have had no problems with system stability, infact i have noticed a nice drop in temps since removing the rear housing, as that seemed to be trapping a lot of hot air at the back of the case.

Think i will live with the stock fans then,

Cheers

Yep,

removing the shroud made a huge difference. The back end of the case was getting very hot with it on, seem'd the 80mm fan couldnt cope with the build up.

i am thinking of getting 3 of Akasa AK-183-L2B Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 pin (FG-024-AK) now you mentioned them.

But will hold out to see what your findings are

lol

Wouldnt be surprised if it is a 120mm fan.

I wont get a chance to play around properly with the case until the weekend after next lol. Gotta goto Cambridge this weekend with the better half to see the in-laws.

Plus i have to order up the rest of my connie system
