Take into account the position of the power supply within the casing when choosing your fan, note: this is an *important* factor which all to often tends to get overlooked.

OK, i recently bought the Ninja Rev. B to replace my Zalman CNPS9700 thanx to this forum. I'm really happy with it the result. Only one issue that i don't understand: My CPU, on idle, is noticebly cooler(2-4 degree) in fanless mode. Originally, I had the setup to have the fan to have airflow blowing...

Oh yeah, my PSU actually comes with one 120 mm fan - not 2 80mm fans. I'm thinking about replacing it with a Noctua. How does this sound?

Thank you for all the advice and caution. I'll try to be extremely careful not to get a jolt. I'll give it a try this weekend.

Hello, Many PSU's use 120mm, and some use 140mm, and others use one or two 80mm, or one 80mm and one 92mm. For 80mm, I would suggest replacing it (them?) with the Enermax Marathon 1500RPM model.

Well, I'm thinking about the Scythe Ninja or the Thermalright 120 extreme to replace the Zalman 9700. Im thinking going with the fanless option also. Would either Scythe Ninja or the Thermalright w/ fanless option handle it with the hardwares i have?

I'm sick of people who do : not read the recommended list --> pick up the quietest components; not doing the minimal required basis stuff that every spcrer should at least do before starting bitchin' in the forum; not read read parts of th...
