2 or 1 Panaflo Highflow on heatercore?

Lost · 02-13-2002, 04:58 PM

Well I working on my YY case. I just put my sixth layer of color coat on it. I should be finshed painting by the end of the week; then I'll start transfering my current watercooling set-up.
Right now Im using DD Mazep4, GPU block through a DD heatercore. There is one adj enermax 120 pulling air through heatcore. It works alright during noraml operations. But when I go a binge of CS or benchmarking it gets 7-10 degrees above room temp. On my new set-up Ill have the Highflow Panaflo shrouded(about 1.5" away) pushing air from the rear of the case through heatercore.

Now my question is: should I add my other panaflo to the mix pulling air through my rad??; thus having a push/pull combo.

Now I dont have any pelts and Im using a P4 and a Ati8500 which are both cool runners to begin w/. So what is my best option? 1 fan or 2? BTW I do have a bay bus so Ill only be cranking them when needed.

thanks

you might as well use two fans, of course at any certain voltage the fans will be louder than one, but you will get more flow through especially at lower voltages.

get a hold of a Comair Rototron, use a little sewing machine oil on the bearings, and deburr the blades then run it at 1/2 of it's rated voltage. It'll push more air than a 120mm H1A at full tilt and be very very quiet.

yeah, mpja.com has them in stock, they have the 12v and 24v versions, I think you'd be better to buy a full circle 172mm one, instead of a 150mm x 172mm one because you will get more airflow at lower noise. Also, go for 24v because you will never want to run it at full speed
