Zefan · 11 Mar 2006 at 16:14

They're also BS. Much lower flow than they make out.

Zefan · 11 Mar 2006 at 16:20

if you get ambers don't screw them too hard to the rad, mine makes an AWFUL buzing sound (Might apply to all fans, I dunno)

with a new rad you should get a foam gasket anyway, will eliminate this.

Kinggost - Buy different fans.

the sli sets are so expensive i never realised. how much are two slimline maze'4s?
And what RES are you buying for £42???

Allways thjought £40 each was about the going rate. The res is as stated in post no 18 ThermoChill "ThermoTube" (10")

Zefan · 11 Mar 2006 at 16:57

Buy a bay res, or something diddy. You don't need these massive things at all. get them for about £15 if you look hard enough.

kinggost · 11 Mar 2006 at 17:01

but that going to shave £20 of the price am i getting charged about rite or is it over priced

Zefan · 11 Mar 2006 at 17:03

If it's from the watercooling place I think everyone uses then you're almost certainly getting overcharged. Try the little swiftech res OcUK are selling. Sure its small, but who cares? If you stick it all in a shuttle it'll fit very snugly.

MikeTimbers · 11 Mar 2006 at 18:49

£40 for a res is ridiculous. Put a "Wanted" ad in the Members Market and watch how many people will practically give second-hand reservoirs away.

weescott · 11 Mar 2006 at 19:30

On a side note...no, really. I'm wondering if I should use a T-line or Res in my new build...hmmm.

kinggost · 11 Mar 2006 at 19:31

wel i cant find any where that does all the bits much cheaper

welshtom · 11 Mar 2006 at 20:09

have a look at a standard bayres

kinggost · 11 Mar 2006 at 21:57

i found some pan flow fans here is the spec

RPM: 2100
CFM: 86.5
Noise: 35.5dBa

would it be better useing a 5v adptor on these
