Corsiar H60 Rad
Hey guys,
wasn't sure where to post this, as it pertains to both water cooling and air cooling in a way, but here it goes. I've got an H60 cooling my fx4100, currently not OC'd at all. (Will be changing that, I want a 4.1~.3 jigahertz max 24/7 OC). Currently installed as the cooling fans are a corsair sp120 performance as the push, with the default NZXT 120mm case fan (Source 220). I also have 2 Cougar Vortex HDB 120mm installed in the front as intakes, but they are extremely quiet and I like that. The rad isn't so quiet when under load, and I would like to change that. But I also don't want to sacrifice performance, at all. I suspect that part of the problem is simply turbulence from the two push/pull fans not being the same and conflicting with thier RPMs. So, bottom line, I have a few questions regarding things I could change in this setup.
1: Would purchasing another SP120 to replace the NZXT help reduce the noise, as they would both scale RPMS (nearly) the same with software fan control?
2: Are the Cougars' good enough for a rad on an OC'd CPU 24/7, or just better as intake/exhaust?
I'll be ordering another Cougar fan, a 140mm for top exhaust, and want to know if I should order another SP120 as well, or something, to replace the NZXT. I knew I wouldn't be using the NZXT's for very long, but before spending MORE money on fans, i want some input.
Thanks in advance.
