Good overclocking fans/cases

knuckle50 · 02-27-2005, 08:31 PM

The system I have is the main system in my sig. Soon, I'll have a second 160 gb hard drive. What would be a good high-output fan to use with my heatsink? Noise is not a big factor as long as you can't hear it in the next room. The fan I have now is this one . The heatsink will hold 80 mm, 92 mm, and 120 mm - though 120 will overhang the sides of it quite a bit.

Also, what would be a good case to buy for very good cooling and overclocking potential?

This 120mm fan has 125-CFM. You cant find any 120mm fan thats better. I own 3 of them. The other link is the notorious Vantec Tornado, its a 92mm fan with 116-CFM. Its the best 92mm fan out there.
