[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 8222134, member: 624844"] I will never understand why people go so overkill on cooling fans. I design and build multimedia, gaming and business machines for a living. Run a very high volume computer store and repair facility. I NEVER use anything more than a $12 case fan, and in fact, I usually remove all fans except CPU cooler and PSU (obviously). The CPU only needs to maintain 50C or less under load. 19DBA. I have used 100's of these fans...Only ~$13 for 4 of them...
