Upgraded the GPU cooler last week. Please forgive the fun with photoshop. After cropping my dirty workshop it needed a background and I got a little carried away.

Wish I had a camera like some of you guys have!

**Jodiuh** · 02-02-2009, 03:30 PM

Haah, awesome.

**Slyr7.62** · 02-02-2009, 09:18 PM

hokiealumnus, can I know what make and/or model the fan(s) are on your CPU and GPU. Thnx.
I know, I like normal black fans (w/ huge motors more so), lol.

Hi guys, I updated my mother board and graphics card.

This are the results:

XFX GTX 260:

With my old 8800 GTX :_)

DFI Dark P45 T2RS Plus:

With the Gigabyte GA-P35 DS3R Rev. 2.1. T2RS looks awesome!

:P

:P

My little helper

"Cable management", it was a pain >_<

That´s all, hope you enjoy.

The GPU was a luck find at microcenter. Looked in their bin-o-fans and saw a .45A 120x25mm fan for $4.99. Got it and I'm very pleased. Totally forgot the brand name though and getting it off requires shutting down, sorry. If it were a big name, I'd know it, so probably something neither of us have heard of. It does ~2,550RPM and is about as loud as the big fan, just higher pitched.

The CPU fan is a Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000RPM. It's a piece of crap. From a previous rant:

I have a Panaflo FBA12G12U (.65A, 2950RPM, 119CFM) that has been going at 85% of full speed or higher for over a year and hasn't given any indication of having a problem.

Cut to last fall. I got two Ultra Kaze's because, hey, they're cheap. Would have been much better served getting ONE additional Panaflo. Not one, but both Kaze's have started making a horrible clicking noise. Except for benching sessions, they didn't run more than 80% of full speed and less than two months each. Won't ever make that mistake again.

Any high speed performance fans I get in the future will all be Panaflo. Scythe may make other good fans, but I'll never know because of my experience with their Ultra junk.

I too like black fans. They don't make pretty LED fans that do what I need to...scream like the dickens and move a lot of air. I can make the system look just fine (IMHO) without LED fans.
