Checked it out and they only ship to the US
and that would only be about 38 canadian, as opposed to the 62 at the other place I order from....bah!

you could always just buy one of the coolers on this page it doesnt look as good as microsouls but it is a lot cheaper...

[kaiweiler]

Those look decent...
this one looks the best to me...fastest fan rpm, but also fairly quiet at 23 dba
also only 40 bucks or so, not that bad....
Here it is on the Thermaltake site....
What do you guys think? looks decent to me

Don't spend so much money on that. Its a small fan that will only move a small amount of air and be noisy.

I have holes there for a 120mm

Go and buy a 120mm fan. A lot less expensive and much more effective. You can also slow it down to a whisper.

Alright, I think I may...
If you screw on an 80mm fan into just one hole of a 120mm spot, wouldn't there be a lot of vibration as it is not totally secure?
because if not i will just do that, I could screw one into one of the top holes, and one into one of the bottom holes, as I have two extra 80mm fans...
woould this be overkill? would just one 80mm cool it enough?
I don't really wanna spend 25 bucks on just a 120mm fan...

Try with one. Are you really having overheating problems with the drive?

[kaiweiler]

I'll give it a try
my HD isn't fully overheating, but when i power off and feel it it is quite hot
and since I have 2 extra 80mm fans sittin around i figure that'd be the best component to use them on

then go ahead and do it. try two fans and if it is too loud just use teh one.

btw, how are your cpu temps doing? did u get them lower with that gigabyte cooler?

edit: where can i check my hard drive temps? i dont think mine has a sensor, or is there some special driver i need for the drive? i think mine would be really low because i have my bottom front exhaust blowing right onto it and it feels cool too.
