Case fan

[XArchangelX]

I am looking for a blue led case fan, that is thin. The newest cpu cooler i got sticks out quite a ways and rubs the case fan, I have a silent x 80mm in there right now, but am looking for 120mm blue led. With lots of cfm. Suggestions please. Thank you

The Scythe "KAZE JYU SLIM" is the thinnest fan available now. They use it on their Shuriken heatsink.

45.47CFM is pretty darn good for 12mm. It doesn't have blue LED's, but if you want blue LED's you'll have to get a standard thickness fan which is 25mm.

If 20mm is thin enough one of the Yate Loon medium or low speed fans would be nice.

If you need 12mm get the one Namtaro posted.

Edit: I can't find any blue thin fans.

I thought you needed a thin fan? That fan is 25mm, the same size as all other normal fans.

+1.

25mm is standard, 20mm or 12mm is thin.

Got the KAZE JYU SLIM in the mail today, great airflow, but this thing sounds like a jet engine!!!

*Edit* should i blow the air towards the squirrel cage cpu cooler or pull it out?

You can do it any which way but this is the common way.

Back fan - pushes out
Top fan - pushes out
Side fan - pushes in
Front fan - pushes in

You want an equal amount of cfm coming in as you have going out, which is hard to do. Generally, try to at least have more cfm going out than in if you have to choose.

By the way, getting a fan controller would help tone down the fan. This or this one are two high quality controllers. I have the second one and it's working like day one. Easy to plug in and use.

Can you post a picture of your Squirrel cage cpu cooler and now it's oriented in your case? It'd give us a better idea for mounting fan flow directions.

here it is.

In most blower type fans, the air normally comes in though the center hole and blows out so I'd say put your sidepanel fan blowing air out.

Hello,A computer fan is any fan inside a computer case used for cooling purposes, and may refer to fans that draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside, or move air across a heatsink to cool a particular component.air conditioner service The use of fans to cool a computer is an example of active cooling. To cool these components, fans are used to move heated air away from the components and draw cooler air over them. Fans attached to components are usually used in combination with a heatsink to increase the area of heated surface in contact with the air, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling.
