2 8x8cm or 1 12x12cm fan is better?
 

Hi, guys..............
I want your opinions again
I want to install (a) fan(s) at the front of the case, under my dvd drive.........
I've tried a 5.25" bay 4x4 cm 3 fans, but so noisy =.=
and the temperature rises 3 C ><
(I am sure I set it up right -- front fan takes air in and back fan takes it out)

I want to buy a fan again to better
2 8x8cm or 1 12x12cm fan is better?
(details plx refer to the picture)
it is use to take air in............

P.S. I am using a athlon XP 2600+
the temp is 43 C and the motherboard is 35 C
Is there any need for me to install more fans???

P.S 2 I post this at 1 forum
but no1 answer me><
because It is urgent, so I had to post it here for help
Sorry for the disconvenience cause by me
thx!

12x12cm would be a better choice because it would be more quiet and the cooling performance might be better.


Actually, I think your computer's temperature is good enough, you don't have to install any more fans...

35 degrees is fine for your motherboard, but if you really care about the temperature, try to order the wires, cords, lines,etc. in your case, that may help.

PS.Sorry, I am wondered why you type this question in English? I think that might be the reason that why no one answers your question. (I'm only thirteen years old, if there's any grammar or spelling mistakes, please just ignore them, thx!)

First, thx for your answer
In fact, your english is excellent!
Are u the best in your class?
I am young too, only 14 (bigger than you by 1 yrs old)~^^
I must tell you that in Hong Kong, rare students have good english like u at your age..........
(because I study in an English-teaching school, so I really know it)

Your reply has alomst no mistakes, but if you don't mind, i would like to give you some recommendation for improvements:
1."I am wondered" it should be "I wondered" --- > wonder no passive voice

P.S. I want to type this question in Chinese ar~ But there is no Chinese IME in my computer (As my mum force me to practise english =.=)


I see you have an msn messager account...........
I hv 1 too, if you don't mind, plx add me
and tell me who you are, thx

Then plz use the private massege... :think:

I have to say "Thank you" because rare people say that my English is good...
Well, I'm not the best in my class. There's still a classmate better than me.
SO, you're from Hong Kong? What does your school like?

I already add your MSN account. But I think you might not be willing to chat with me by the messenger because I have to think for a long time when I am writing sentences.

However, I'm glad that I finally found a person who is young too. You know, there isn't too much young guy here...

Oh, I almost forget, how's your computer now, have you decided how to handle it?

Its a shame that I cannot speak English as good as you two...though i got 5 years older than you.
(There is no doubt I am weak in English because i seldom use that and even do a practice .:p)

Anyway, its also alternative of two 8-cm fans or a 12-cm one of my case.
I agree with LCChang that 12x12cm is a better choice because that is less noisy and more air flowing per area.





P.S.1

I just found the LCChang's signature is so similiar to mine....Is that just a coincidence? :laugh:



P.S.2

Sorry about my dammit English. But i should still remind you PCDVD is a Chinese Forum.My point is that not everyone can figure out what you say.

If its really nessesary you need an English practice, plz come to this kinda side:

Don't say that, since everybody's has some understanding about English, it's just the practice and determination that matters.
It's nice to see 13 years old or so children be able to communicate through English.
I OFTEN make grammar mistakes, but I don't afraid of using English, because I like to practice and use it.
May everyone enjoys English as a window to the world.

怎麼都是英文?
Low Noise + No Noise = Best Choice.

還是安靜最好啦......

12 公分比較好 會比二個八公分安靜

(只看得懂大概:flash: 唉　唉唉唉唉~ )

Oh, you had discovered that...

But, my signature is not just similar to you. Actaully, I copied your signature and made some changes. I hope you won't be angry about that.:shy:
