Default Ok Need Final Decision On Fan

Hi

I need a fan for my upcoming Megatron, now it can't be a 38mm because there is no retailers in the UK that sell 38mm fan holders.

Can somebody please recommend me two good fans from any UK site?

Just a thought but by fan holder what do you speak of? If you mean something to hold the fan on I suggest using zipties if you can get and fit the 38mm fans in your set up. They will net better temps because they have higher static pressure and less dead zone I believe. If you use 25/38mm fans you can also use shrouds to help flow.

It is basically the frame of another fan to get the fan further from the heatsink to eliminate the dead air caused by the fan's motor in the middle. I hope that makes sense

Zalman ZM-F3 is a very nice 25mm fan. Its often overlooked but is a great fan by any measure -
