Question?

[menace2society]

Is this http://www.petrastechshop.com/12evalcafan8.html a good fan for this Rad http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=4541

Trying to choose a fan that is decorative as well as effective

I guess you already have the radiator?
It shouldn't be a bad fan if the specs are well rated. Maybe google it to see if the CFM is really well rated.
Another option is to get some trusted high CFM fans (you can look at the fans sticky review by Vapor) and paint it yourself with a metallic look

aw heck bro... what are you going for?

it seems,

Effective Water Cooling = Yate Loons + MCR320 or Thermochills + Distilled Water + Nuke + Pump & Essentials

anything beyond is bling... right?

so... if you are going for looks, well, you've already gone the "nice lookin" route... nothing wrong... i too go for colors and layouts...

so perhaps you should really be asking...

will _____ rad and _____ fan be able to cool _____ cpu?

and telling some of the folks here what you plan to put in your loop... CPU, NB, SB? Video?

and have fun...

Hmm the specs on that fan are a really ambitious. I doubt it has that CFM at that DBA.

[Hijack]

I was thinking the same thing. 84 CFM at 31 dBA? I would be VERY suprised if this was accurate.

I'll be using all the parts in my sig.
Trying not to jump ship on AMD would like for them to stay around, believe competition is for the consumer. AMD CPU's don't overclock that well so straddling the fence on the whole bling efficiency thing.

Hope that helps you help me

Some people like to say: all you have is crap, you should ditch it and buy this top notch bling bling...

Anyway, for your radiator, you looked right, you need a high CFM fan. The panaflo and sanace are known to be part of the best fans. The S-Flex G series could be great ones too, but no tests I know about. Just all the series from D to F are great.

If you don't care about absolute performance and you don't feel easy to paint yourself a fan, you coul dgo with one of these and give it a try. Even if moves 60CFM only, it should be enough for your setup

Thnx to all.

Don't have your exact rad, but it is a stealth, worst purchase I ever made. You really need push/pull on this crap to make it work at all......twin DDC's or an Iwaki doesn't hurt either to power past those anorexic tubes.

Not a great rad but as long as you don't ask it to cool 2 x GPU as well as a O/C CPU it should be OK with most 70 to 88 CFM fans around.
