if i was to put one of these

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-003-NC

in my tuniq tower, can anyone take an educated guess as to how much of a difference it would make from the stock fan?

the stock fan is very noisy if you turn it anything above the lowest setting. and if you do turn it up, it makes 1C difference to every core.:eek:

thoughts? thanks

edit: also, if i was to get this fan in the tuniq, would i also need to upgrade my case exuast fan as it cant keep up with the airflow? or is that not a problem.

thanks again..
 
Well apparently these are the specs for the stock fan:

1000 RPM, it is 42.98 CFM.
2000 RPM, it is 82.41 CFM.

It would certainly be more quiet that the stock fans on high but I can't imagine it making much difference to temps (looking at the CFM figures here). IMO this looks like a waste of money if you're looking for overall quiet and performance factors. Oh and no need to upgrade any other fans if you do go for Noctua.
 
ok thanks,

can anyone tell me what 120mm fan is the best for airflow, but isnt a jet taking off?

it doesnt need to be silent but not too loud.

basically im not 100% happy with the temps im getting at the moment, and think the stock fan is abit useless

thanks
