Hey i just ordered this

http://www.thermalright.com/ne..._cpu_cooler_775rt.html


The fan is 1000rpm. Do you all thing i should replace it with a higher rpm fan? I dont really overclock and if i start i wouldn't do anything extreme. Fan noise doesn't bother me( i use to live across the street from an Amtrak station thats loud)


The case is a Antec p182 Is the 1000rpm enough for a p45 mobo and a q9450?

Don't look at fan RPM specs, look at CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) specs.
That tell you how much air the fan actually will move.

only way you will ever need a different fan is if you overclock and start running into temp issues,.. but you should have a lot of room to work with even for mild overclocks,....
