Air Flow in PC CPU

Currently, there is the Corsair AF series with purple LED.
But I realize there are very little case fans featuring unique color-lightings.
Where are the pink, yellow & cyan ones?
Heck, even orange lighting are rare like the purple nowadays..

Please post some shops where we can get any of those color-lighted led fans!

Buy a corsair white led fan and stick colored cellophane over the led.

Chu so many led colours, are you gonna buy like 1000 of it?

They only chu colours which were mostly used. Unless they spot a demand for pink, orange, etc.

Wah, that is alot of work man.. Plus cellophane is the colored plastic right, must cut into small pieces and glue them on.

The blue case fans are already so common it became dull. But donno why a lot of people still uses them. Sometimes even cases come with blue-led case fans. Red & green are the 2nd most common, but still not as sian as the blue.

Haha, my case doesn't expose this too much from the top anyway.

Nowadays people use led strips, take a look on ebay, alot of RGB type ones, can change to any colour you like anytime using a remote control.

Lighting strips are very bright.. Plus surprisingly, they will get warm after a while.
Led fans are more stylish, and dimmer.

Use voltage to control brightness..

Some sexy fans that you probably can't find in Singapore:

The COUGAR CF-D12HBR

The Gelid Wing12

The Enermax T.B. Vegas

The Akasa AK-FN073

The Akasa AK-FN053

 

[DeenzX]

The Aerocool DS

The Kingwin Duro Bearing silent series

The Silverstone Air Penetrator AP121-WL

 

[muddle]

Cougar fans are highly rated. They can be shipped from amazon. However i think currently the lead time is probably a month

Chamoxa selling akasa viper.. saw the ap-121 before in other shops but very limited stocks.

Not to mention, expensive as hell..
Frozencpu has all of these but.. Their products are kinda overpriced, + they are all in USD.

a quick question.. for h60.. shld i mount the fan in push or pull position?

i noticed that after i changed from stock cooler to h60 the gfx temperature increased abit.. though i did have one lesser output fan...

Gfx or cpu?

The H60 is for CPU.

But after changing the stock cooler for CPU to H60, gfx temperature increased by 3-4 degrees. Not sure if it is caused by one lesser output fan for the case to accommodate the H60.

By right, both have no link de... it also depends on your game... unless increase in temp for ur gfx is for normal usage.

Yea thats what i thought too. but somehow when in dota2 before change the gfx seems to have a slightly lower temp.

edit: there is a side panel intake slot that is empty too.

Below is my setup before change.



Here is the setup after change..

The top fan is removed cause of the pipe of the H60 blocking and fan too thick.

Tried putting the other slot with input fan but it doesn't really help at all.

The H60 in push setting is better or pull?

 

[DeenzX]

Water-cooling not my thing. But I know that if the heated air inside the rig doesn't get expelled ASAP, it will cause an increase in temp. Looking at your setup, looks like yeah, the air doesn't get expelled fast enough with so much incoming fresh air.. End up they have to find their way out which isn't the best way for ventilation.
