Other fans I own that will replace the case fans:
4x 120mm High speed YateLoon fans from Petra's Tech Shop (one of the places to known to have high quality ones)
4x 120mm High speed YateLoon fans from Jab-Tech (Lower quality than the ones from Petra

2x 120mm Scythe slip streams
4x 120mm Cooler Master Red led fans ($5.99 from microcenter)

Sorry to bump this thread. But I enjoyed reading what others were using. Hopefully those who didnt already write in this thread will do so soon

You guys have taken computer specs to a new degree of boringness.

Who actually cares about your choice in plastic fans?

 

[Madridi]

Choice? as in physical preferences? If so, it's not a matter of choice man..
Its a matter of how much a fan moves hot air (CFM) in the quietest way possible (db)

That will effectively prelong the PC life (if one plans to overclock his system) and keep it cool preventing BSOD and such..

I wish it was just a matter of physical appearances

Except the performance gains over stock or simple single cooler setups don't outweigh the effort and time required.

It's really quite silly (although "Post your specs" threads are pretty worthless in the first place).

No offense, but you're not even trying to hide the fact that you're being a troll right now.


Just sayin'.

Not really man. Especially in the case of stock. Stock cant get you up to 4GHz.. PERIOD
However, when comparing several coolers such as the Noctua and the megahalems, then yes your point stands
But remember that its not about the effort and time. Its more of a hobby (and a very expensive one really).. just as modding any console here. DS flashcarts for example.. its not about playing games is it? people play around with everything. No hacking scene is an exception to this. People spend more time dealing with mod stuff than actually playing games. I'm not ashamed to admit that I too belong to that group of people (in many instances).
My point is, a hobby is a hobby. No matter how silly it sounds to you, if you dont see the point behind it, doesnt mean a point does not exist.
That's all there is to it

Choosing and configuring fans seems less fun and less useful than actually using the computer.

chosing fans and whatnot are apart of overclocking. temps and all, changing fans, using a decent push/pull config and managing everything in your case neatly so ambient temps don't build is all part of the challenge. if you have excellent cable management, decent fans it can drop ambient temps in your case a good 5-10C, it also makes your internals look great and actually gives you a decent reason to have a transparent side.

If only looking for a "challenge," why not do something productive?

cause dropping load temps from 60C+ to under 60C is worth spending the time to most enthusiasts.

Which is usually as simple as lowering the overclock by some inappreciable amount.

there's a fair few cases where dropping 100-200mhz wouldn't get you that as opposed to using a decent set of fans.

Intel i5 430M
500GB HDD
4 GB memory
Integrated Intel  HD Media accelerator (Weak Link)
2 external WD Elements 1.5TB drives
Altec Lansing speakers w/ crossover and sub
HDMI run out to TV

Mine plays most games. Street Fighter IV runs well. GTA IV choppy, takes a while for chit in the background to load. Not very fun. If it wasn't for the BS integrated card, this system would be great. For the $$$ spent anyway.
