Exor18 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I bought 250D and noticed that my EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC/ACX temp steady between 80-84c while playing games. I removed dust filter the result is same, I then remove the side where the video card is. Its temp went down to 66-67c. I do not have 80mm case fans installed in back of the case. I have a feel that it's the cause. So I went and look for Corsair 80mm fans and shocked that they don't make/sell it at all. I am disappointed. :( I want my case to focus Corsair/EVGA only with exceptional for SSD/HDD from Samsung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 As far as I know, Corsair only makes 120 and 140mm fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichrome Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It depends if you want performance or silence. Personally I would love to get some Delta Fans (which are designed for servers) but these are VERY loud (around 12k RPM). Noctua just has released some of their new fans series, and I believe these are very good (if I'd have to get smaller than 120mm). Example: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/80mm-noctua-nf-r8-redux-1800-pwm-quiet-case-fan 80mm fans are all pretty much the same, unlike 120/140/200+. So pick just a colour (black?), maybe something more known (Noctua) and get one or two of these depending how many you need :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exor18 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I do want black but apparently Noctua doesn't sell black fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Let me ask you a question: will you (or any one) see this fan when you position your PC to the standard spot? Because it has little window on top and if you don't position it so you see it, then it doesn't matter black or dark blue. But if it matters, then look for something similar (e.g. 1.5k RPM in black) and brand shouldn't really matter as long as it has the 3 pin connector :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exor18 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 To answer your question, yes everyone includes myself will be able to see fan through the window on top of the case. I am kinda of concern about 3 pin connector. I have 1/1 cha_fan so I probably can't have another 3 pin connector. The front fan in 250D uses 3 pin connector which is plugged in my mobo.

pegotico Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I do want black but apparently Noctua doesn't sell black fans. you can now get one of this 3 NF-R8 redux-1800 PWM NF-R8 redux-1800 NF-R8 redux-1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exor18 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I am looking for higher RPM, noise doesn't bother me just not "too loud." What RPM would you suggest for my type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 You can get fastest ones, as there exists a cable that reduces the voltage (so does it reduce RPM), I believe it should come with most fans. 1.2k RPM is something fine I think, as fastest ones are around 1.5k +. Then Delta Fan 12k haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Delta Fan 12k haha I have 2 noctua NF-R8 and they really move a lot of air at 1800 rpms and at full speed they are freaking silent 17 dba. Compare to others they move a lot of air!! The deltas, well...... they move air but I don't see the necessity of using them... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well get 1.8k RPM ones and you should be fine. You can always reduce this right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front fan in 250D uses 3 pin connector which is plugged in my mobo. Should I go for molex? My new PSU will be ax760 along with 2 new 80mm fans. I am really appreciate of your help guys. I only wished corsair would sell 80mm fans that similar as h100i fans. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegotico Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well get 1.8k RPM ones and you should be fine.

I ordered 2 of Rosewill 80mm transparent with blue led few days ago, it should arrive today (Monday). I have been leaving the side where video card is off for a week or two waiting for modular PSU AX760 (which will also arrive today). As well as Corsair M95. Corsair K95 and MM200 mouse pad will arrive next day (Tuesday). It will be my first mechanical keyboard I have ever owned. XD This is very exciting for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
