i dont have a clue about cooling so please help..

[blade2]

hey im planning on getting an Athlon XP and i know they give out a lot of heat but i am unsure which case fan i should i get from here, i
think the Enerman fans are the best suited for me since the grill comes with it but i am unsure; am on a tight budget.

the PSU that i am getting has dual fans so i know that airflow in the case must be maintained... although i am in the UK

please help an idiot 🙂 !

thanks in advance!

hmmm, now you look kind of familar. 😛

You don't really need a grill unless you leave your case open and kids are around. If closed just be sure all cables and wires are tied out of the way.

So you just need some for case cooling, what size does your case fit? Usually most fit 80mm but some also fit 92 or 120mm. For a case fan you don't have to get the most expensive, just one that puts air out at a good rate, like over 25cfm or more. 😉

hehe, nice name(s).............

if you're stuck with cutting your own fan holes, then do a 120mm in the front and same in back if it'll fit. the cool thing about this is that you can get slower (quieter) fans and move as much air as a faster 80 or 92mm.

hey thanks xXgambitXx, ordered a 120mm fan instead of the 92 mm Enermax-thanks!
