H80 fans

[SimenGaming]

Hi!

I was wondering if there was any possibility to run the h80 on only one fan?

Thanks for your answer!

Yea mate why not ?
just remove one of the fans...

You can, but I'm not sure if it comes with screws for
> Rad to case
> Fan to rad

So you'll probably have to mount the fan to the case and the rad to the fan. If you want to use push, you'll have to use your rear fan (assuming you've mounted it there) as an intake.

May I ask why you would want to do this though? The rad isn't the thickest, but I'm guessing that push/pull would help on it.

Just thought the temps would rise, and the CPU would get hot as hell, but it's probably like the h100 where it doesn't matter if it is push and pull or push/pull.

Because it's so bulky, and I can't afford an H100 now. Also it covers up some of my memory, because the motherboard has two RAM-slots on each side of the CPU-socket.

Thanks for your help!:lol:

No problem mate

Maybe it's an idea to compare the temps (1 fan or 2 fans) and post the results here to let us know?

 

[SimenGaming]

^Yeah I'll post temps when I get my system up and running later today.

Ok so I have just tried both 1 fan and 2 fans on TDM on Canals in BF3 and here's the temps:

1 fan: IDLE 24c
BF3 40c
2fans: IDLE 24c
BF3 38,4c

There isn't too much of a difference in temps, about two degrees, so I'll just run 1 fan then.

Ahh, that's not much difference at all! Yeah, just run with one fan then if it looks less bulky and makes less noise
