C650D Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Can the stock 200mm case fans on the 650D be replaced with aftermarket fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasVas Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I would personally recommend Fractal Design silent series 120mm and 140mm, they are mega silent and move a good amount of air :D: , the white color also fits well in the 650d black interior. Or; Noctura fans are always a safe purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C650D Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hm, and which one for 200mm Front Fan ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasVas Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I use a 140mm fan as front intake, it fits perfectly through the grill holes. I use to have an Antec BigBoy 200mm before, it was very good and moved a lot of air but was also significantly noisier than the 140mm Fractal design. pls note, the front 200mm fan has to be 25mm thick if you want to use the two front hdd cages.

xxking Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14506&cPath=598&m1track=googlebase&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#googlebase those fractal fans do not move a lot of air at all.. 39cfm is too low i am going to buy 2x Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPro PK-3 140mm x 25mm Ultra Quiet Fan - 1700 RPM - 27 dBA which move in 90.04 CFM which is much better.. and those are probably the best fans out there right now.. I have done my research and decided to purchase the aerocool shark fans which move like 85cfm but one of the fans started making noises so now its on its way for an RMA.. either way - i am going to get those fans once the RMA gets approved.. keep in mind that they are not cheap and if youre thinking about getting some watercooling done in that case you are going to be MORE THAN future proof with those fans.. as far as I can see they are the best theres also noctua of course but their fans are ugly looking, really ugly looking therefore I did not even look at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faulkton Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 i have two of the noiseblocker pk2 in the top and am totally happy with them. I didnt need the extra airflow (noise) that the pk3 have so i went with the pk2. I also have the PWM version of the noiseblocker multi frames... one as a rear exhaust and one as intake in the 5.25" bay ... both hooked to the motherboard and controlled by the CPU temp... perfect for feeding/exhausting cool air through the silver arrow. I used a silverstone air penetrator 181 for the front intake fan and am really happy with it too. It's also controlled by CPU temp to feed extra air to my 580 sli when i game. It wasnt a cheap project but i am really happy with the temps i get for both the CPU and the GPUs. You gotta love a 2600K at 5ghz for 24/7 OC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C650D Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Is ist possible to mount the Bitfenix Spectre 230mm Fans (Top and Front) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxking Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 230mm would be too big at least thats what i think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C650D Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 230mm would be too big at least thats what i think.. the 230mm bitfenix has the same mounting holes like the 200mm bitfenix fan.... but it is 30mm deep....:sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluder79 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 the 230mm bitfenix has the same mounting holes like the 200mm bitfenix fan.... but it is 30mm deep....:sigh!: That won't be a problem for the top, that'll fit just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craized Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm thinking about getting two 120mm Scythe GentleTyphoon AP-31s for the front intake. Does anyone know how well they will fit? Much rigging need to be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craized Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 why not a 181? I'm not sure, what advantage does a 181 has over the AP-31s? As far as I can tell the AP-31s push more air @ 150CFM and having two of them should be even better, whereas you would only be able to fit one 181?

Eluder79 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Uhm, won't that AP-31 be like a hair dryer? It's 51dB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craized Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well, they say it makes a different tone that makes it seem quieter, but yes, I expect them to be loud at max RPM. That's why they'll be on a fan controller and most likely turned way down most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittysox Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I once thought it would be a wise idea to run two ap 31's on an h60 radiator. How wrong I was, you can't even stay in the room with those servo fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rigging need to be done? I'm using 2 Noiseblocker Black Silent Pro (140mm) in the top and 2x Noiseblocker Multiframe S-Series M12-S2 (120mm) in the front. One of them is partially covered though and i had to drill 2 extra holes for each fan to mount them. So not much rigging needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLeather Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hello all! this is my first Corsair case (650D) and my first post here. :biggrin: It should be delivered tomorrow BTW. Now i am in the 'fans with blue LEDs' fan-club. and i was already considering replacing the stock with flashy blue ones. I see there's only a <30mm gap behind the front grill. http://www.********usa.com/Product.aspx?C=1442&ID=1964#Tab1 the above (******** 200mm Blue LED Silent Case Fan AF0046) would appear to fit at 20mm wide. but how about the CFMs@65? Can anyone see any issues with this fan? has anyone tried it in the front grill? I did read the rules about mentioning competitors but i see 'megaflow' is fine, why not this one?
