Good prices for the clear fans and still a decent price for the Alpha PAL8045. AS3 if you need it.
 
Too bad I am in dire need of 1 120mm and 2 92mm otherwise I would jump on this. But the idea of 2 clear 80's are too good to pass up for this price. I'm sure I can find a way to use these as blowholes in my top window 😉.

EDIT: Just checked a site regarding my one Sunon KD1208PTB2 80mm fan. I need 3-pins so this might work out after all and give me that kick butt look. The one Sunon I have is rated for 39 CFM @ 32 dBA 2900 RPM, 3 Pin.
Slightly more than the clear, but look cool and are a good price. Nice find.
 
Also wanted to say that the Akasa 80mm to 60mm aluminum adapter is an amazing price ($6.99)! Directron sells the same one for $25! Great Deal!

Not a good idea..I have seen tests that indicate any fan in the top of a pc case actually raises the temperature 😀
 
Do you have a link to those tests, I do want to have a look? I think if the fan is pulling air out from the case, it should lower the temperature.

Where did you see that? That's a load of BS.
 
I've seen the clear fans in action. I only live like 1.5 miles from the store itself. It may look tight with the blue LED's and everything, but it's only 32CFM. Sorry, but that's not good enough for me.

The clear fans are a case modders toy, where looks and 'coolness' take priority over practicality. This is the best use of a clear fan I've seen so far. May not be the most powerful fan, but it has a good CFM/dBa ratio.

Maybe the top fan takes away too much of the intake air, leaving the cpu fan with not enough cool air, thus raising the cpu temperature and also the case temp. So instead of air comming in from the front, going over the cpu, the out the exhaust, the air just comes in and goes out through the top blow hole? I dunno just a random guess.
 
For starters, blowholes LOWER temps. For seconders, 32cfm is right on the money if you are planning to use these to blow out since u want the total amount of cfm blowing in to be greater than the amount blowing up, thus allowing for positive air flow. With that in mind, similar specs on say a Sunon 3-pin gives you 39cfm as the same goes for the Panaflow. Mind you that these cost more by roughly $5. All depends on your application I guess.
 
is it really that bad having more air blowing out than blowing in? i was just about to order that 80mm fan w/blue led's (32cfm i think) and a 60mm delta with around 38cfm, but before i finalize my order i guess i'll just wait for some input
 
i wonder if the blue LEDs on the clear fans can be replaced with other LEDs...some nice high intensity reds. i'm not into the whole blue thing
 
When you have more air bloiwing out than in, you create negative air flow and that is worse than having no fans at all. Reason being is because you set up a "vacuum" that causes all the hot air to be sucked out before it all rises to the top of the case which means you lose efficiency in the flow of the air since it gets sucked out before it is all used up. Positive air flow ensures that the hot air gets pushed up to faster sionce 'more' air is entering the case that is cooler.
 
DjBaMBaM: thanks for clearing that up..i guess i'll just have to buy a slower 60mm or a faster 80mm in that case.
 
nice deal on the as3 with free shipping, got some as3, wondering if its coming - picked money order option when ordering. 😉

choose first class to get free shipping!

Well, according to physics, well more like fluid dynamics, you can't have more air blowing out than in. The simple quote "what goes in must come out" is actually pretty scientific. 🙂

CFM is not a fixed number, it also depends on pressure. What happens is that the flow will reduce to the slowest bottleneck. The fan that is spinning faster (has more flow) will be 'loaded' by the pressure difference, and will deliver less air flow.

Besides computer case are not perfectly air tight, so air will flow in from the gaps and holes to equalize the flow...

 


According to AMD (the masters of heat) only the exhaust fan is necessary. Intake fans in "extreme" circumstances may actually cause higher temperatures.
