Hiya there, kinda urgent, am thinking of upgrading the case fans in a Lian Li PC P80, does anyone have any suggetions, I want to keep my PC as cool as I can, this is only for a short term since am going to be having a three-head phase changer take over the cooling of the CPU and the two video cards.
Basic stats of my computer are a i7 965 and two 4780 x2.
Thank you.

... hmm I have multiple types of 140mm fan and the ones in my PC-p80 are the best out of them all. I think they are great fans and you should stick with them :up:

Are so you are saying, that I should stick with the fans already with the case?
Am thinking of replacing the rear fan with this: Delta 120mm Focussed Flow Fan (EHE)
Really loud I know, but it is meant to be the best at sucking hot air out.

1 in, 1 out ... if either one is doing more .. then it's ineffic ..
sometimes .. having 2 slow fans ... 1 in, 1 out .. is better than just 1 fan out
it's something to do with positive/negative air pressure .. i recall

What do you consider an "upgrade"? Without that information, you are going to get lots of different answers.
Do you want a fans that move the same amount of air as the stock ones but do it more quietly?
Do you want fans that move the most air possible regardless of noise?
Do you want something that is somewhere between the two extremes?
Personally, I think those Deltas look fine. Yes, a bit loud for those users with sensitive ears, but they move some air.
Also, I prefer to have positive pressure on my cases (more CFM in than out), it seems to help keep them more dust-free. At least it does if you keep filters on them:)

Well, I consider a "upgrade" to whatever can keep my PC cooler or remove the heat faster/better then the default fans whatever the noise or any other factor.
The computer is goiing to go in a small bedroom which is known to get really hot so heat can build up, so just want to move the heat out of the PC as good till the phase cooling is ready.

A pair of san ace's for $25 each on a fan controller?
