    Help picking and setting up fans

    I want to thank you all for the help! Sadly I haven't got notified for the last two replies and I end up buying Ninja 5 after all. My numbers are: 36~38C idle and 76~77C full load (like when running Prime95), I think I have room for better numbers as I let the motherboard handle the fans speed...

    Well, I went to buy Mugen 5 and Ninja 5 (which seems better from the reviews I've seen) and I took the opportunity and bought it. It should arrive on wednesday and I will try to replace it by the end of the week. What do you think it is best? If I install my ML120 on the CM690 default front...

    Sorry, I guess I didn't mention my CPU. My current board is an ASRock Z170 Pro4, CPU is an i7 7700K, I plan to upgrade the motherboard to an ASUS PRIME Z270-A as I have an i5 6600K with no motherboard. Average room temp seems to be ~25C, I don't have a thermometer here though. Temps doesn't...

    No need to say sorry, at least now you feel my pain heheh Today I've moved the side fan to the front, almost aligned with the CPU fan, but temps still sucks. Lowest temp I could get is 39C (102F), with around 40% of load it goes up to ~68C, at this point I really don't know what to do. I...

    Sadly I won't be able to find a thermometer to test today, but please see if my thinking makes sense: Giving the fact that my case is old and it has only one front fan slot (ok, there is also one at the bottom), even if I install another fan in front (thanks to Dermen's tip) I would still have...

    Thank you for your guide, I've read it and I'm now trying to absorb all the knowledge there. I will see if I can buy a cheap thermometer to do some tests!

    The Ninja 5 was ~R$ 340 and that was the price range I was aiming +- R$ 50 on a CPU cooler, but I don't know if makes sense to invest that much on a cooler if a new case has similar price and much better airflow than my current CM 690. What I don't get though is why case makers became so dumb...

    Unfortunately I can't get Phanteks or Fractal Design cases as they are unavailable (not even listed). Thermalright is also unavailable, it used to be back in the Athlon XP era, now it is also not even listed. The motherboard I'm gonna be using is ASUS PRIME Z270-A, RAM will be what I current...

    My goal is to have comfortable temps to then OC, it is running stock right now. From what people say, this cooler isn't so bad, but it is performing badly because the airflow setup of my case. Before I came here, I've decided to buy Scythe Ninja 5, which is now out of stock and ain't cheap, at...

    Help picking and setting up fans

    Thank you for all the help! Giving the costs of the fans, I'm thinking about replacing my case, Thermaltake Versa J24 seems like a winner, but for it to have the best performance I will have to remove the front filter (I couldn't find a tutorial to do it) and I'm also thinking if I should use...

    Ok, so after searching a lot, it seems Corsair is my only option. To make it worse, I can only find ML series with LEDs (which I hate). Giving all the input here, I'm thinking two 140mm at the top as out, one 120mm in front as intake, should I consider one at the bottom or this should be...

    Speaking of Corsair, which series would you use? I see a lot of AF, but it seems its performance is not on pair with ML

    Help picking and setting up fans

    Thank you for your reply! Currently I have no fan at the top, so I have two free slots there, one free slot on the front, one free slot on the bottom and another free slot on the side (the one almost aligned with cpu cooler). The main problem right now is choosing the fans, as you can see I...

    Yes, my machine sits on an MDF table (fake wood?!) Unfortunately the biggest online store from my country doesn't have any Fractal or Phanteks. There is one store which has Noctua and it has exclusivity. The image shows the brands I have available in this biggest store, I hope you can help me...
