Best Fan for HR-03 GTX

[SOAD]

Hello im purchasing a HR-03 for my GTX :D

Im in the market for a fan. Something I know **** all about :headexplode:

I have to get it off this website though www.ebuyer.com

here a few that I have picked out.

OR for the same price and in fact a bit less I can get 4x120mm fans (generic name- Antler)

OR i can purchase a no name 120mm fan for £2.

Any ideas


cheers. Much appreciated. :captnkill:

Depends if you want better cooling or more silence? .... for better cooling you will need a fan with a higher CFM, if it silence your after the you need lower CFM .... i have a 92mm Vantec Thermoflow with a 58.5 CFM .... its not that loud and keeps my card at 48c - 50c idle & 65c max load! .....

If it was me i wouldent choose any of those fans! .... i got my fan from the below shop!

Not knocking ebuyer, i use the store & forums alot(bought most of my system parts from there)and its one of the best(lowest priced)on the net but they dont have the best selection of fans.

lol?

[SOAD]

after buying the HR-03, Zalman 9700, P182 for a nice quiet pc, I dont think that the delta is the fan for me.


What ever floats your boat though ;)

I have just purchased the HR-03 plus with the Zalman ZM-F2 92mm Fan.

I plugged the fan into the Aux header below the 1st PCI-e slot as the connection is 3 pin. I can access the fan from the bios and was wandering at what speed % should i have this fan set to ?

I haven't overclocked the GPU yet but was hoping to get around 600/1000.

As a guideline, what idle and load temp should i be looking at with this sort of overclock?

With the overclocks in my sig my card idles at 50c ... ATItool artifact scanner's max load is 65c!

I have a 92mm vantec thermoflow fan.

Have any of you tried to use two 80 mm fans?

How would x2 80mm fans be modded on? ... ive had a 120mm fan on mine but it didnt make a difference so i put my 92mm back on.

Heres a picture from PaiN. He said he use thin zip ties.

Looks sexy with 2 80s

[Airbrushkid]

Well from I heard it runs cooler with the two 80's. It may because the center between the two fans is most likely right over the center of the gpu. The fan blades meet over the center of the gpu. So it looks like more direct airflow over the gpu. With the 92 and 120 you have dead space in the center of those fans where there is no airflow.

[PaiN]

The two Antec Tri-Cool 80mm fans(on Low) are extremely quiet too :)
I'm surfing atm @ GPU temp of 47C ...

[SOAD]

:(

My 120mm AKASA amber fan is extremely noisy.

Without a fan or with the fan at low speed the graphics card rapidly overheats and the pc crashes.

it sucks so bad. Im thinking of replacing stock cooler :(
