cpu and computer cooling

[Liam230]

hey all i got a phantom 530 case and i want to add more fans 3 120mm fans on the top and replace the 200mm fan for the front and another 120mm fan for the back im looking at nzxt fans whats the difference between "FN" "FZ" "FS" heres a link to fans> http://www.nzxt.com/category/products/9-case-fans

and what is the best way to clean all the dust out of the computer?

and any suggestions for better fans is much appreciated!

and will cleaning the computer make the fans quieter?

Can't answer much about the fans, but using compressed air is the best way to get most of the dust out. You could however take a damp cloth to the fan blades of the case to wipe the dust off. However, use compressed air for components as you don't want to put water on there!

For the fan bit, most nzxt fans are great.

could i use a brush?

I use a old soft tooth brush to get the caked on dust off things like blades and clean dry compressed air to blow off the rest but be mindful of things that maybe blowed off like a jumper if your board has them

I wouldn't really recommend using a brush on components, but I guess for a fan is alright. What type of brush is it?

I guess you would need some common sense when doing things as this --

like a non thick paint brush im little worried my components could of been damaged from dust and i built my computer about 6 months ago

just some caned air should do the trick just that fan blades spinning can cake the dust on them and a tooth brush is used to get to that heres close to what I use for air on mine and other things around the house
