what is the box labeled fan control, what I mean is this needed if the mb already has a 4 pin connector.
Picked up a silenx 120x38 ixtrema. 90cfm+ 18 dba. replaced the rear case fan ( vantec stealth 120x25 63 cfm @ 28dba. I have never seen a fan this quiet move this much air. need to find a 92 x 25 to replace the front enermax, not sure of cfm but it is NOISY. Giving the zalmans a good look, first look seems like I need to remove the mb. am I wrong ? with cool and quiet enabled temps are under control but have not PUSHED the cpu yet and the side cover is back on. thanks Fred At 09:19 AM 6/25/2008, Beave Poked the stick with: >>thanks Tim, this one is cool but looks like socket 775 only, I'm am2 :{( fp > >They also make an AM2 model which is very nice as well. > >http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118020 > >I use this one in my AMD FX-60 system. > >At 07:23 AM 6/25/2008, Beave Poked the stick with: >>If your looking for a good cooler and it quiet and is nice at cooling try: >> >>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118003 >> >>This is an excellent cooler if you are using a motherboard that can control >>the Fan speed.
