Hey BoredGunner, I have a Lamptron FC5v2 fan controller (30 watts per channel) and 4 Delta FFB1212SH that have both 3 pin and 4 pin molex connectors. The 4 pin molex has both a red and black cable connected to it, while the 3 pin only has one blue wire. When I connect one Delta with the 3 pin only to the fan controller the fan doesnt run. When I connect the 3 pin to the fan controller and 4 pin to the PSU, it works and I can see the watts/RPM but I cannot reduce the speed when i gradually turn the dial down. Am I doing something wrong? I'm not familiar with wiring but I have a feeling that 3 pin should have blue, red and black wiring going into for it to work with my fan controller.

I figured it out, I wasn't thinking properly. I will have to remove the 4 pin molex and add pins to the 3 pin, recrimp the black/red wires to the 3 pin and I should be good to go.

I doubt you will see much, in terms of dropping your temps further with a 5000rpm fan. I think 2000 is plenty for the H70 rad. It's not the most efficient design (the H50 or H70), and 5000+ rpm fans I would be willing to bet, offer maybe 1c difference over 2000rpm fans, at the expense of your computer sounding like a 24/7 space shuttle or something.

None of them have good static pressure to be honest. NoiseBlocker's highest RPM 140mm fan has a static pressure that is similar to that of a Thermalright TY-140, which has a much lower RPM so less noise. You can always go for some Delta 140mm x 38mm fans if you're up for it.

Why is good static pressure necessary for case fans? And there's not very many companies with realistic "SP" numbers..

The Aerocool Shark's are decent 140mm fans for rads. Quiet and rather efficient. You could always use an adapter too. A 120>140mm adapter.

T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it.

You are welcome Patches Search around for the best price in the stores, if not, post a thread on the WTB section to see if someone could sell you the rad you are looking for, at a good price.

artrico, it will be the first of next month before i can get it.i will check everywhere,but the price is not a major concern for me.it is the condition and performance of the parts.that is why i probably will buy new,i would hate to buy a rad and find out they used that colored dye stuff in thier system and i would have to spend days flushing it out.right now i am looking on crazypc,performance pc and frozen pc.if you know any other places to check let me know.im thinking swiftech on pumps and blocks.
