Re: Is 800 rpm enough for the CPU?

I have a thermaltake ultra 120 and want to install a 800 RPM fan on it. Is it enough? Do you mean Thermalright instead of Thermaltake? I have the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.

Actually, using a PC to drive a high quality display, you can get the same effect as a 5k+ video processor (or line doubler).
