Megahalems Fan Testing

[KILLER_K]

The megahalems has wide spaced fins, so a high rpm, static, cfm fan is not needed. If you look at a true the fins are pretty close together resulting in needing a higher rpm, static cfm fan to get the air to flow through it better.

As noted before the large fins when using two for push/pull set up will only cool maybe 2°-4° better. And in some cases if you have a larger static pressure fans they will cancel out each other and make higher temps.

Adding a high CFM Sanyo Denki made a massive difference for me. 4.2GHz wouldn't boot w/ a ~60CFM 25mm fan. Adding the SD, I was able to get it 16 hour LinX stable.

To each his/her own. but i like to sit by my pc and not hear fans spinning in my ear. But some like the noise. As for 200 more mhz you now can't hardly hear by your pc now. f it makes you happy then so be it, it just isn't for me though. But congrads on the 4.2ghz overclock.
