Computer Case Fan question

[Jct]

Hi, I was wondering if changing the stock case fans that came with the Thermaltake Versa h22 would make any realistic cooling or noise difference? It just doesn't seem like a ton of air is being moved by these fans.

you could always upgrade them but the more air moving through the louder it gets

 

[mcnumpty23]

its a case under £30

really cant expect decent fans for that money to be honest

Phantek and noctua fans are the quietest and move the most air. Thwy are not to expensive. I just bought some 120mm and 240mm fans for 30 a peice and they light up led. They are wisper quiet and reduced temps.

I know its a cheap case. that's why I'm wondering if upgrading the case fans at some point would be worth it. Are case fans not like cpu fans which you can get better cooling and lower noise?

to a point yes you can get more expensive fans that have better quality bearings

are your temperatures too high with the stock fans?

Ypu can put 2 120mm intake and 1 120mm exaust which will give you a positive pressure set up.
It will make a good diffence and keep dust out of your system if you filter the intakes....these are 14.99 a peice

good fans but at uk prices three of those cost more than the case did--in fact 2 of those probably about the price of the case

Leave the exhaust fan and get the two intakes then to save money.

same price as the phanteks

pc components are a fair bit more expensive in the uk compared to usa

 

[corndog1836]

Oh. Sorry about that. Those two brands are the best, quietest, and move the most air. I,have both brands in my system. I cant recommend anything better than these quality fans. The fans you have arent bad but if you want to see a NOTICEABLE difference you will need to go to one of ones i suggested or you wont really see any temp change. I research your case and these 120mm fans will push alot of air given the size and dimensions of your case. Anything else might be alittle better but not much. Im order see see a difference you should go with high air flow fans or dont change the ones you have.

yeah it drives me crazy that parts are 30--40% cheaper in the usa

Alright it sounds like I'll just stick with these. Temps are fine now but if I were to over clock I was looking to see if I should just upgrade the cpu fan or the case fans as well.

 

[mcnumpty23]

if you ever overclock just keep an eye on the temperatures

no need buying fans if the temps are ok

 

[corndog1836]

Both Cpu fans and case fans. Or a new cou cooler and case fans would be optimal

This is true although as there are import fees around.

"Hi, I was wondering if changing the stock case fans that came with the Thermaltake Versa h22 would make any realistic cooling or noise difference? It just doesn't seem like a ton of air is being moved by these fans."

The answer to the question. Is YES it will make a differnce and NO the noise will not increase (providing you buy good stuff like the fans i suggestioned) and you are correct that the stock fans dont move alot of air like the premuim fans.

pick a solution if you likes one of them...
