Question regarding New Egg along with aux fan for Sabertoot P67

[Jaz709]

Hi all, I was surprised to learn that New Egg is shipping to Canada from the U.S. rather tahn having a store location within Canada. Can someone please give me an idea as to how long it takes for products to reach us upon ordering and whether there may be duties.

My second question is regarding the optional 50mm fan for the Sabertooth P67. New Egg is the only place I've been able to find that has stock on these things. Some have stated they're using the Evercool http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119052&Tpk=FAN-EC5010M12CA which is supposed to be fairly good.

I've also noticed the Egg has a Sunon 50mm http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835221018&Tpk=KDE1205PFV2 which is 11cfm vs. the 9.59cfm for the Evercool.

Would the Sunon be a be a better choice in terms of quality? I'm not so much worried about the price of either. I'll be ordering something ele along with a couple of fans given the shipping charges. Thank you in advance.

With shipping from Newegg's Canadian site, it seems to depend on what you order. I put in two orders in the past month with them, with the second large order bing split into three. On the order that was split, one portion came out of New Jersey (CPU, video card, one HD, and sticks of RAM). I ordered late Wednesday night and had the order delivered the following Thursday. A day of that may have been because that portion of the order sat "processing" for a full day. The stuff that was shipped from Canada on the same order arrived on the Tuesday. So two extra days to get from the US and no, there were no duties to pay.

Given that the fan isn't actually necessary - ASUS only recommends it for maximizing cooling - I wouldn't worry too much about the quality of the fan. If your case has pretty good air flow, the fan is kinda overkill anyway.
