240MM fan search (in the UK)
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 1:42 am
Hi all,
I'm a newbie - but have become addicted to silencing my PC - no real reason apart from once I started making it quieter, I couldn't stop!
I have a 1.86 core duo, ASRock mobo, and Samsung HD. The HD is in a Silentmaxx enclosure (not sure it really makes much difference) and the CPU is cooled by a Skythe Ninja with a Notua 120 mm fan running at 600 RPM. The PSU is a Seasonic 430. I bought all the components (apart from mobo) through reading reviews in SPCR - what a great site for newbie’s and veterans alike!
I'm looking to replace the Seasonic with a fanless Silverstone ST30NF and so want to get some more cooling in the case without making any more noise - so here's my question:
I have the Thermaltake Mozart TX case (o.k. I know I should have really bought an Antec P180) which has room for 4 fans mounted in a square on the back side of the case (the Mozart TX case is an unusual shape - more square then oblong). I was looking for a 240mm fan that would fit here instead of 4 x 120mm fans. The idea would be to run it very slowly to be quiet but get enough air movement to equal what 2 or so 120MM fans.
Does anyone know where you can get a 240mm fan that might mount on the standard fittings of 4 x 120 mm fans?
Mu current temps are 45 for PSU, 38 for case, 40 for CPU, 36 for HD.
Many thanks for any advice.
