I decided I'm going to use my 2 new Rosewill fans I had laying around for months just in case. So do you think it will work?

Here's the side by side specs of the rosewill and coolermaster fan..

Damn looks like one of my rosewill fan is missing so I have to use 1 rosewill and the stock coolermaster. There both the same 2000rpm just the rosewill has more cfm then the coolermaster. The compare link above is what I'm using

Put the Coolermaster fan as the intake and the Rosewill fan as the exhaust for the cpu cooler.

I CALLED IT!! :angry: the coolermaster is to big and after several install attempts it still comes out on a angle so i'm waiting for a rma number so I can send it back asap for a refund. It suxs that I have to pay 15% restocking fee I need help in finding a good low profile heatsink with EASY fan replacement in case it blows. Ok this is the Dimension of the big coolermaster 120 x 79.7 x 158.5 mm (L x W x H) The height is to big but the width and length is good I just need a shorter heatsink with replaceable fans.

My friend offered to give me his corsair h50 and I turned it down but after doing some research I found out that I can add a second fan and have a push pull effect and gives a better reading. Hope this works good.

I have used the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus before and it is pretty big. Give that Corsair one a shot.

I also found out if I change the stock fan and use 2 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm as the push pull I would get a better cooling with a quite sound. so I just ordered 2 fans. Should get them this week Priority mail.
