also can i ask why you've got 10 sp fans when you've only got a h100 for cooling?

Because the fans rock and look lush I dont want the crappy 200mm fans they give you so I decided to go for some SP fans, Whats wrong putting SP fans in my case anyway even if I have a H100 Cooler I would still need to put fans in my case anyway? :/


Ive already put my Rig on the Rig Gallery its called 'My Z77 Rig.' But ill post a photo anyway.

Nice to see a fellow Dorset resident I live in Corfe Mullen.

Well I dont live that far from you then haha about 30mins or something Nice to have someone from Dorset

Because SP fans are designed for Static Pressure (hence the name), so they are meant for radiators, CPU heatsinks, and for things like blowing through the HDD cage(s). AF120s/140s are designed for Air Flow, and meant to be used everywhere else in your case that isn't obstructed in one of the above ways. Hope this helps .

^ i couldnt have put it any better than that. I hope you dont think i was bein rude or anything because that was not my intention mate. I was just surprised nobody else picked up on it.

But back to the point ide definately go for a second 680

Ohh right well at the time I didn't know that and if I new that back then I would have had a load of AF Fans anyway also these babies kinda cost me alot lol so Im not changing them anytime soon. But my case never really gets Hot my Temps are just fine, Plus in the future I was thinking of Liquid cooling my system and these fans are perfect for the job. Thanks anyway
