@PredatorRules Quick question, the 120v is aluminum rather than copper, I've read somewhere that aluminum become less conductive of heat? is any of it true?

Also, does the radiator and fan still serve as exhaust fan for my case as i only have 1 port for exhaust and would hate to trap all the hot air in the case just to cool my CPU

Sorry for the double post and thanks =P

@Grey_Eyed_Elf Does the TX3 EVO block any RAM slot when fully installed with 2 fans? Or does your MOBO come with more space for cooler?

Is it loud?

@Coseniath Yeah, i search the web for comparison as well but couldn't find any direct comparison as well.

Thing is, most reviews i found use only 1 fan when the cooler support 2, would there be much difference if i use 2 fans instead of 1?

1 to blow into the heat sink while the other exhaust the the air from the heat sink towards the rear exhaust fan.

Finally, does room temperature affect the result much?

Thanks again

Hi all,

I'm looking for a CPU cooler that can fit into my case without blocking my RAM or side panel.

My case is a Cooler Master Elite 310 and my motherboard is an ASUS P8P67 LE.

Right now I'm looking at a CM Hyper 103 against CM TX3 EVO. Will they fit? If yes, which is better?

Also, it seems that the TX3 Evo allows for another fan to be mounted, will any 92mm case fan work? Where do i get an extra fan bracket to put it in?

If anyone has a better suggestion, please comment =D

Price is less of a problem than fitting in. So, closed looped water cooler suggestion are welcome too.

Anyway, sorry for the large amount of questions.

Thanks in advance

ok, thanks for all the comments =P

i guess I'll leave well enough alone for now, since the latest update only improve system stability (no idea what that means)

hi all,

I've been thinking of updating my BIOS but research across the internet shows that it is a highly dangerous procedure. I'm treating it like a patch for my MOBO.

My motherboard is a P8P67 LE.

So i was thinking of letting ASUS AI suite do all the work for me.

Question is, is ASUS AI Suite 2 "trustworthy" in updating BIOS?

Also, should i update the AI suite to 3 before using it to update my bios?

Thanks in advance

@Coseniath: yeah I'm sure, its just the picture that makes them looks larger.

i compared the holes with the ones behind and the sides, these holes are tiny by comparison.

@Coseniath: I returned the fan and got a case for my friend's laptop hdd instead. (Have him foot the bill XD)

But since you mentioned that the screws are the same size across brands then there is no point of me searching for any other case fan that will fit, is there?

@Coseniath: Sorry, i think you're kinda missing the point. The problem I'm having is that the screw holes where the fan touches the case is really really small.

Smaller than the holes available for case fans in the back and side of the case, in fact. No idea why cooler master made separate size mounts for both side and back only to create such tiny holes in front =.=

According to the sales person who sold me the fan, the screw size for 120mm should be standard no matter the brand. Is this true?

Thanks again

Hey guys,

So i took your advice and bought some case fans for my case.

The problem now is that the case fan that i bought, Cooler Master JetFlo, requires large screw while the front bracket for my case can only support really small screws.

Is there a workaround for this? If not, do you guys know of any fans that can by mounted using such small screws?

Thanks again

@topgunmv: Nope, this is my case.
