80mm vs 92mm Fan?
Hi there,
I am trying to decide what size fan to buy for my current P4 build. I am not sure whether a 80mm or 92mm is best. AT first I thought 92mm was the way to go but after having read a few reviews around the web it seems like the 80mm fans are giving better performance due to their smaller *hub* size, which reduces the size of the dead-zone. I am also trying to decide what Heat-Sink to use also, it's down to the ThermalRight SP-94 Swiftech MCX478-V which are both good solutions, so I'm not sure whether I need a *Tornado* Type solution or go with a quiet version. I intend to overclock my P4c 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz + Anyone had experience of the different sized fans? Despite the possible larger *Dead-Zone* of the 92mm fans, I wondered also if their larger size could help keep the motherboard components near the CPU (MOSFETs) a little cooler? Thanks for any feedback. . -- Wayne ][ Sign on door reads: Please Do No Disturb! Pentium 4 assembly in progress! |
