Got my new Opty 170 and I'm using the stock 4 pipe heatsink and fan. It's OK actually but I think just a little more air would do it a world of good and make me feel better about going higher with it.

Need someone knowledgeable with fans to suggest a beefier replacement for the fan that comes with it (80x80x20 @ 2300 rpm, I'm guessing 30 cfm???). Done the Tornado thing before and I'm not interested in that extreme but something in the happy middle. Found a nice Panaflo that was almost 50 CFM at half the decibels of the Tornado but it was only 2 wire and I want to be able to monitor it.

Thanks for looking.
 
I bought a Panaflo that only came with a 2 wire tail. So I bought a three wire tail and replaced it (the wires are not soldered). And if your board can't handle the the more powerful fan get a molex adapter w/ seperate rpm header.
