Dual CPU Fan?

[WartHog]

I purchased a Xigmatek Gaia SD 1283 CPU cooler: Newegg.com - XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler bracket included I7 i5 775 1155 AMD and dual fan push pull compatible. It says you can run dual fans with it. I am also considering this CPU (AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus) which comes with a fan and heat sink: Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor ADX640WFGMBOX

Can I use the fan that comes with the CPU as my 2nd fan to run dual fans?

Thanks for any responses.

no, you want to run another 120mm fan. the fan the comes with the AMD proc is smaller.

Thanks Zepher. Makes sense to me. Didn't even think about that.

For almost 50 cents cheaper you can get a corsair

Not sure if it matters to you but CFM< and RPM are higher on the corsair even though it is a little louder and I'm not sure if you can add another fan to it.

I know Newegg combos corsair CPU fans more often so keep an eye out.

I found this combo you might like its 10 bucks cheaper then what you picked out.

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!

I know its not the 940 but it’s the 935

Wow, CrazyEye that is really you did so much research for me. I hate to say it, but I already bought the CPU fan I mentioned. I was wondering if the one that comes with the CPU would work. I REALLY appreciate your help though.

 

[WartHog]

That 2nd combo's pretty nice. I'm also leaning towards the same CPU you're running. Has it been good for you?

Just a little tip on Newegg when you figure the price add shipping as well. When I bought my rig for example the mouse I picked was an iHome laser mouse one was red another orange I liked the red one but the orange was a few bucks cheaper then I looked at shipping the red was free shipping but the orange had like 10 dollar shipping so in the long run the same mouse in red was cheaper.

I found the same problem for CD/DVD drives keep a close eye on it I bought 1500 in parts and didn’t pay but 20 bucks for shipping. If I had my way I could of picked all parts that had free shipping.

So in short some higher end parts have a higher price tag while lower end parts have a lower price tag but higher shipping rates which will end up costing more than the better higher end part so be aware of that.

So far so good I have only had it in for about a week. I have been told the 955 is actually easier and better at OCing then the 965 but idk anything lol.

Kind of sounds like ebay - buyer beware!

Exactley lol. When I did my build I put everything in excel included the shipping price it's amazing the little things they do to get every penny out of you.

 

[WartHog]

That's the truth. All the nickles and dimes add up too.

neweggs shipping doesn't compound.

This is the excel sheet I made before ordering. Mt price before combos was 1457.83 add the 14.95 I had totaled for shipping.

In the end I paid about 20 for shipping. I paid 1440.56 for everything so parts only cost me 1420. I don’t know why the shipping costs ended up being different I think it has to do with the combo items but still I saved a ton.

I think if I paid outright price on all the items and shipping I would of spent well over 1600 dollars.

Here are 3 random items I grabbed that have shipping costs, of $8.95, $7.56, $4.99
Newegg.com - RAZER Black USB Wired BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Newegg.com - Seagate 500GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive ST905004EXA101-RK
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7
Add all 3 to cart and shipping to my zipcode is $13.84
combined separate costs is $21.50

Back when newegg switched from everything having Free FedEx shipping to shipping on most items, the shipping costs for each item was added to the total shipping, and people complained, threatened to boycott, and they fixed the system.

I still miss the free 2 day fedex shipping on everything at Newegg, those were the good old days.
