Yes Antec is a very good fan. I have 2 120mm. Very pleased.
Nice. I'll be shure to get 1 then :D
Antec fans a very good. To find the size you need, just use a metric ruler and measure where it goes.
Will do now :)Quote:

Vantec Tornado= hair dryer lol
ok this is a noob question but im just making shure, the fan has to be set up so it blows the air out of the case right? not in? and also the fan has a 3 pin connector that goes onto the mobo and a 4 pin connector, i hooked up the 3 pin 1 but the fan didnt fire up so i used the 4 pin and it works, but why doesent it work with the 3 pin?
doesn't matter what way... one will bring air into your case (intake) and one will pull air out.Quote:

not sure why the 3 pin connector doesn't work. It could be turned off in the BIOS, or jsut fried or something. :unsure:
It's possible that the 3-pin motherboard connector is only meant to send the fan's RPM signal to the board, relying on the molex for power.
the 3 pin connector does work there was this stupid ass adpater (4 pin) that comes off and that 3 pin connector your left with works when hooked up to the mobo. The wire's a little short tho :unsure:
yeah but its the mother of all blowers...erm...suckers...erm.... :helpsmiliQuote:

thermaltake smart case fan
as low as 20 CFM/17dB when its cool...
and up to 75CFM/48dB when it needs to pull some air :01:

this antec BLUE LED 1 i bought pushes air like a fecking mofo. 2600 RPM AVG 30 dB
