Replace Cooler Master Atcs 840 Fans?

[bwin]

There is no budget but i was wondering if the stock fans in this case were efficient. Anyone tell me if i need to replace them and if so which kinds..... Sound doesn't matter. i just want maximum airflow

slipstream 1900rpm for airflow

noctua p12's for 50/50

I have the ATCS 840. They are very good, you can of course replace them and chuck a triple rad, so 3x120mm fans in the roof. I have noticed that under a desk it is really quiet, but out in the open they seem to be a lot louder, also now the bearings are wearing in a bit, a little vibration niggles from time-to-time.

What do you mean for 50/50.... i looked up the slipstreams and many people have been saying they are really loud. using one for intake and exhaust good idea?

 

[AMDFTW]

50/50 meaning decent airflow and noise

they are nither massive CFM fans nor are they high DB fans.

slipstreams are loud but u said noise does not matter to you and you want maximum airflow thats just what the slipstreams 1900rpm are lol

did you happen to put a fan on the bottom?

 

[tinytomlogan]

are we talking the 200MM fans here?

 

[AMDFTW]

i am talking 120mm

 

[bwin]

but for maximum airflow should i make the rear fan an intake?

 

[AMDFTW]

no front intake rear exhoaust.

i think the only case i no that has that setup is the temjin tj09

O but the front fan and the top fans are running at a slow RPM. Would a fan controller be able to increase the speed? Or is that as fast as it can go?

 

[AMDFTW]

are all thr fans attached to 12v via a molex.

i baught a gan controller about 4 months ago and never looked back

 

[bwin]

yes im pretty sure they are

 

[AMDFTW]

then go for what u want mate.i would use noctua P12's (ALX is selling some) as they are quite yet still push decent air

No need, i found the air flow more than suitable for my system.
