Ordered up some new fans for my computer, 3x 92mm Nidec va350dc's. 92mmx38mm, 110cfm, 5100rpm, 51db. I chose these because even though you can get a delta 160cfm for 3 or 4 dollars, they are whiners like these nidecs, but so much louder. These new fans are replacing the front, rear, and cpu fans.
Also a chance to check on and clean out the Tpower and its 100% ucc caps, thanks biostar!
In the first pic you can see the 240cfm nidec ta600dc I have on my side panel
I set up the new fans so that the front and rear fan would blow in, doing two things:
1. pressurizing the case (this became apparent upon first start up with new fans, dust blew out of all the cracks and crevices), also allowing the ta600dc to be able to utilize all 240cfm's by actually having some air to work with and not pulling a huge vacuum.
2. the rear fan would blow cool air for the cpu and psu to pull through.
Here you can see the new fans in all their glory. They are brand new, never used before fans. Made in japan, nice. Not as nice as the ta600dc on the side, thats American made
.
Hmmm, no wonder that old front fan was not pushing as much air as I remember it doing. Only a foot thick layer of dust on it. Twas only $2 on newegg, they are what are in the back and front, from masscool, oem to fannertech.
Well, now the front and rear is in place, time to do the cpu which is going to be a challenge because they use this plastic clip that spreads apart after you push it through the hole. I am also going to mount the fan pulling through the cooler, which means I will need something to cover the gaps between it and the 'sink. I can tell you that the fan is a Y.S. tech 92mm capable of about 48cfm, and is a PWM fan.
Now I just need to take a picture of the finished project and maybe one of the finished noise
Ohh ya, and no bla bla bla about doing it on the carpet, as that was only for taking pictures, it was done on my usual solder station in the basement.
