BEST CASE FANS [Suggestions Please]

[tamalero]

Hello there!
I'm thinking into modding my CoolerMaster Cavalier case because the case gets too hot!
currently I have the classsic rear 120mm fan, and a 80mm front fan ( default coolermaster ones )
and a 60mm side fan.

the problem is, with my actual overclock ( wich is not that strong.. just 250 FSB and a Winchester from 1.8 Ghz to 2.25 ) it gets preety hot thanks to my new MOBO
wich is a Nforce 4 , and my new videocard ( X850XT PCI-E )
The temp can go up to 60 ºC if I use it with my case closed (for protection I have the case open atm, and the cpu temp is always lower than 36ºC on idle and 49-52ºC on full load.

So the question is:
What Kind of Fan should I add to my Cavalier so more air flows inside my comp?

should I mod the case door to add a window, and thus cut it for bigger fans? ( the actual door is pure aluminium and only has room for one 60mm fan and my actual one sucks)

Note that Noise is not a problem since I Have a profound hearing problem ( Ie, Deafness )

so recommend me some FANS, BRANDS, and MINIMUM RPMS or TYPE OF FINS in the FAN.

I use Antec's own fans or Nexus fans. These are not high CFM fans though as my P180 case keeps mobo ambient temps at around 36-38degC regardless of full load or idle, but they are quiet which is important. All Antec fans I have are 3 speeds, low, medium or high and they are all set to low..... I have 3x 120MM case fans and 1x80mm fan sucking hot air directly from the 7800....

In your case, which are exhaust and intake fans? I would recommend the front fan as an intake and the rear as an exhaust. The side one you can test yourself I guess?

its a Coolermaster Case, and of course the backone is exhaust
but still not enought.

thats why Im gonna add some side-fans
the 120mm = Exhaust
90mm = intake
atm I have a 90mm low rpm ( and very inefective) as intake on the side.

So how many fans can the case accommodate (and what size)? As I say, mine can take 4x 120MM case fans and 1x 80MM fan housing which blows/sucks air onto/from the gfx card....

Knowing how many you can actually house might be a good bit of info to have from you

if noise is no issue check out what delta has to offer you .. some of their fans can suck in little animals

I Can add another 120mm and up to a 80mm one to the side.
but if Im serious, I can save money to get a diferent door, with more fan slots.


its a CAVALIER 3 from coolermaster

and what is delta?
be specified please, Im not very old on this forum, also considering I'm on Mexico, I dont knowmost brands that are usual in other countries.

delta is a company that produces very high quality fans for just about anything. but most are typically loud without some type of controller and can push ALOT of air.

They are noisy as f**k though I have even used Akasa Ambers in the past and they have a balance between CFM and noise.....
