Solved Looking for 4 fans for a Corsair H100 Cooler

Looking for 4 fans for a Corsair H100 Cooler. Something nice that would work well with this cooler in a push/pull set-up.

Mashed1316 · Aug 25, 2011

Noctua fans. 'nuff said.

Although from what i've heard, stock fans on the H100 are really good.

Here: Newegg.com - Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm, 3 Speed Setting, Beveled Blade Tips Design, SSO Bearing Fan

They're expensive, but they're worth it.

Yea, I have heard that the stock fans are good too. I just want to have a push/pull setup in case the temps are not where I want to have them at.

I just got a Corsair 800D case and I would like to just by more fans from Corsair to go with the cooler but it seems that they do not sell them. The marketing/sales department have yet to send me back a e-mail in regards to buying matching fans for the case or the cooler.

I don't know if Corsair sells them but i do know that if they do, they're going to cost more than those Noctua, although if you want black fans (similar to the Corsair ones) you could buy these Scythe USA:

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Fans & Heatsinks, Case Fans, Scythe USA, 120mm

And they're cheaper than the Noctuas

Punkster is right about Noctua fans. I have 2 of the p120 fans on my H50. They push a lot of air and are almost dead silent. They're great if you can live with the color. Also, if I'm not mistaken, their 140mm fans have 120mm mounting holes.

Newegg.com - Scythe Kama FLEX PWM 120 SA1225FDB12H-P 120mm Case Fan

Looks like what I am looking for. I plan to use the on board fan controler located of the corsair pump/cpu heatsink. This model will serve me well. Thanks for the help. Now all I have to do is wait for the new AMD bulldoser core to come out.

Mashed1316 · Aug 25, 2011

No problem, Beta.

Glad to help

Cheers with your new build!

Everyone has been waiting for Bulldozer for forever it seems.

I have a war chest of $2000. Waiting is the worst part of it.

Mashed1316 · Aug 25, 2011

Well, you could just buy all the things, buy a cheap processor (Athlon II X4 640) and wait for the Bulldozer to come out.

I'd suggest, right now, out of my head (for that budget):

1) ASUS Crosshair V Formula or Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 (both AM3+)
2) 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz Mushkin or Corsair
3) Crucial M4 SSD (OS and apps)
4) Corsair AX Series PSU, could be 850W or 1200W (depending on your GPU configuration)
5) GPU (i'd change your HD4850) and buy 2 HD6950s (unlocking them to HD6970s)
6) 1TB or 2TB drives (data storage)
7) Blu-Ray Burner (can't tell you brands, cause i don't know too much about optical drives)

and you'll have money left for your Bulldozer

NOTE: the GPU i'd change it because the 4000 series doesn't have support for DX11, they're more power hungry... hell, i'd even wait for HD7000 series to come out haha. but that's your choice.

Beta · Aug 25, 2011

We think alike. That is exactly what I am doing. Just a few eceptions:

ASUS Crosshair V Formula Extreme (When it comes out)

CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Desktop Memory with Airflow Fan Model CMT8GX3M2A2000C9

2 x Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F60GB3-BK 2.5" 60GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Raid 0

CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (I already have)

I might wait to get a AMD 7000 gpu.

Mashed1316 · Aug 25, 2011

Hmm everything seems fine, except!

I'd stay away from Raid 0... it's waaaaay too problematic and frustrating.

With an SSD (if you're looking for access speed) one SSD is enough. it's the 0.1ms of access time what makes it fast. and having a Raid 0 Array won't increase that speed.

Of course, if you're looking for increasing the read/write speeds, then i guess: say no more, Raid 0 it is.

I'd definitely think so before setting up a Raid 0 Array. I'd personally buy a Crucial M4 128GB (for practically the same price of the 2 Corsairs) or i'd go with a Patriot Wildfire (those ones are blazing fast, and they have a 120GB model)

Beta · Aug 25, 2011

Patriot Wildfire Read/Write are the same as the corsair. As for the raided SSD, it kind of what I have wanted. I will work out the issues.

I was planing to buy them from tigerdirect. $100.00 with a $20 rebate from newegg. My friend is going to order the other one so I could be the other $20 rebate. So I will get two of them for $160.00.

Mashed1316 · Aug 25, 2011

Nice! haha... well either way, keep us updated about the new build! pics too

Hello **********,

The fans for H80 / H100 is not available yet at the moment. We will start carrying this fan through our web store. ETA: October, 2011. Thank you.
