Hello, I have a Coolermaster HAF 932. I want to replace all the fans to get the best airflow. I only have a $115-$130 Cad max budget. I have an NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller which controls 5 fans @ 10 watts max per fan. Coolermaster 932 case has a spot on the Side for 4 120x25 mm fans, Top (3) 120x25mm fans, Back (1) 140x25mm fan , Bottom (1) 120x25mm fan, and a Front 230x30mm fan. I have the i7 980x with the stock heatsink installed so I don't want airflow from the new fans to interfere with the heatsink cooling. I need the listed fans to work with NZXT sentry 2 Fan Controller: (5) 120x25mm led fans with best possible airflow and noise level is not a concern. The other fans: (3) 120x25mm, (1) 140x25mm, and (1) 230x30mm led fan which will be plugged into the motherboard. My motherboard user guide says (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin PWR_FAN, 4-pin CHA_FAN1-3, 4-pin OPT_FAN1-3) the fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA-2000 mA (24 W max.) or a total of 1 A-7 A (84 W max.) at +12V. I just want to max the fans air cooling on this case, so please explain if anyone knows the best fan cooling combo for this case. Keep in mind I'm using the NZXT fan controller and I want to use the NZXT with 5 fans but I'm using a total of 10 fans in the case.
Personally I would save the money and spend it on something else( beer and women). Unless you've got a specific reason for wanting a change, like the colour, I would stick with the fans that come with it, they already provide great air flow.
hello for the top of my case the (3) 120x25mm fans will this fan be good? Fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185060
well as said before the HAF are designed specifically to have good factory airflow no real reason to change, not to mention with big fans its quite silent as they dont spin very fast to achieve a good airflow. side note HAF 932 = High Air Flow 932 go read the bit tech review on the haf it shows minus their oppinion that its ugly (which it isnt) the airflow is very good, more then enough for your needs if your only running a stock cooler with the i7, your cash is better spent on better cooling for the i7 in all honestly maybe even better cooling for your gfx card too within that budget. would do more good then a few case fans for that case
I just got two Noctua NF-P14 140mm and they are the best I have ever had. the rubber mounts is a bit on the low quality side (had one break on me) but besides that they are silent and get a good airflow. In stead of replacing all fans I would find the one or two that make the most noise and replace those. But why do you need a better airflow, are your temps too high ?
This is my system i have a rampage 3 extreme motherboard, i7 980x , his 5970 graphic card, 850w silent pro coolermaster psu, NZXT Sentry 2 fan control, and 6gb (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...n_DDR3_SDRAM_DDR3_1600-_-20-227-501-_-Product). if you had a $120 cad budget what would you buy if this was your system?
as i said a better cooler for your processor, stock cooler isnt fantastic it gets the job done thats it, you will see more benefit from upgrading that.
