[Newcomer] needs some advice
Posted: Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:26 am
Hello everyone i'm a newcomemr here and i need some advice on fan related stuff.
First of all the setup i've built is on a Fractal Design Node 304.
I'm thinking on putting 2 92mm nexus fans in the front and a Phanteks PH-F140HP/TS on the back as case fans.
For CPU colling i'm thinking on going for a Scythe big shuriken 2 rev. b , the reason i'm going with this one and not the the noctua nh-l12 its because i have an asrock fm2a85x-itx motherboard which does not accept most backplates but i've seen in an XBMC forum a user with the shuriken on that mobo so i'm guessing it fits.
Now for the questions, do you guys think the fan on the scythe is good enough or do i have some space for improvement? And also i have a CX430m PSU from corsair which does a nice job but the fan seems to be one of those cheap ones that rattle from time to time at low RPM, Corsair will not trade the PSU as it is functioning perfectly so in the near future if the rattling gets too annoying do you guys have any recommendations for a replacement fan for that PSU?
