i got them off of ebay for $28 total. hopefully i didn't make a bad decision, but i figured i couldn't go wrong. see, the company is local and i don't have to deal with shipping costs. :D

hopefully it all goes well with my SLK900.

Those things are brutal. I may get a couple and see how things go.:D

turns out the place didn't actually have the fan in stock, so i've got to wait until they get a new shipment in, and they'll ship me one. :rolleyes:

hey felix88- I've got one of those on my Swiftech and yes, it's loud, yes you'll be glad you've got the nexus, but when you're ready to do some real overclocking you won't be disappointed.

yeah, i figure if i want to find out what my max overclock is, i'll just crank it all the way up. i used to have one of those 50CFM 60mm deltas, so i have a pretty good idea of how loud these things can be.

wow, even at 3000RPM this thing is NOISY, but even at the lower RPMs, it still pushes quite a bit of air.

I run mine at 2700rpm.

i have the equivalent 92x38mm sunon 120cfm fan on my mcx4000 rev2 with 92mm brackets. . works fine connected to ThermalTake fan speed controller :D

the Vantec fan controller i've got can only get it down to 3K RPM, but it's not too noisy now that i've gotten used to it.

i just love how i can crank it all the way up and watch my CPU temps drop. :hehe:

bleh i couldn't take the vantec tornado i had, used it for about 10 minutes and then put a different fan in...just a little too loud for me...

i've been using an 80mm tornado and mcx-4000 combination for almost 5 months now. It is pretty loud but i dont even notice it anymore.

I know what you mean........ although, with my Comair Rotron 162mm intake going at full bore, I don't hear much of anything :D
