Is there an app...

Post by Samaya »

Is there an application that will read temps from the CPU and GPU and then be able to send that data over a comms port (USB / serial / virtual)?

And lastly I need advise on fans. Which 120mm is quiet yet has a good airflow rate?

Thanks,

S

well regarding the app, havent heard of anything....but the G15 could do it right? almost any program could be sent to that LCD so maybe that might be a start?

with the fans though, noctua & thermalright are kings in that department so anything from them should suit your needs...

hope this helps

Noctua fans are amazingly quiet.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

But apparently all fans are interchangable,like an antec fan won't fit on a coolermaster case? Iv only read about this on internet,so I was under the impression I'm stuck to cm fans for a cm case.

Won't fit? Donno where you been reading ;) but all fans will fit into any case (of course depending on the size, ie 80mm coolmaster fan will fit into an 80mm fan hole on a antec case)

But I read that the screw holes were slightly different and they had to use cable ties...

Where did you read that?

I've plugged numerous types of fans in to a friends CM with 0 problems

Thanks for the advise. I'll go get Noctua fans when I can.

I'll also have a look at LCD smartie for what I want to use.

Maybe with some cheap case/fan combos the holes aren't exactly lined up... but the actual dimensions of all cases/fans "should" be the same.

hey man, was it a review on the any of the HAF cases? i remember them using alan keys for the fan mounts...if it is then you can still use any fan in there - it jus makes it harder to put in i guess...

IMO the only problem with noctua fans is they dont look very nice...it makes it kinda hard to blend it into any chassis cuz of the colors...other than that - they really are the most quiet fans you will ever find...

I just saw on some forum while I was doing research on cases I came across that problem. but I decided to first buy the case and then buy the fans afterwards... I have changed my mind so many times about which case to get!
