Adding LED fan to HSF
Hi i am wondering as i have a windowed case, if i could add an LED fan to my HSF im running a 2600+(333FSB) and both my HSF and fan are CoolerMaster.
My HSF - CP5-8JD1F-0L: Socket Type Socket A, 370, 462 Heat Sink Dimension 80x60x45 mm & Cu base Heat Sink Material Aluminum Fan Dimension 80x80x25 mm Fan Speed 2500 rpm Fan Airflow 32.11 CFM Fan Air Pressure 2.17~2.62 mm H2O Fan Life Expectance 30,000 hrs Bearing Type Sleeve Bearing Voltage Rating 12 V Noise Level 29 dBA Connector 3 Pin (Speed Detection) Weight 410 g Thermal Resistance Rja 0.639 C/W Application AMD XP 3200+ The fan - TLF-R82: Fan Dimension 80x80x25 mm Fan Speed 2500 rpm Fan Airflow 32.11 CFM Fan Life Expectance 50,000 hrs Bearing Type Rifle bearing Voltage Rating 12V Input Current 0.15A Input Power 1.80W Noise Level 25.0 dBA Connector 3 Pin LED Color Blue Weight 75g Would it be safe to add this fan or wouldn't it cool the CPU enough?, Both have the same RPM andAirflow. Thanx |

I would think it to be safe. Both fans have the same Airflow specs.

It should be fine, but check the CPU temperatures after switching just to make sure it's doing a good job of cooling it.
Another thing to note is that the led fan is not as loud as the original, 25dBA vs 29dBA, which is a very nice feature. |

You can also replace your case fans and/or add a Cold Cathode.
I've gone a bit overboard on the lights...I have a Cold Cathode, 4 LED fans, and my newest mod, light up case feet
