Default Mugen 2, worth changing fan?
I have a Mugen 2 Cooling my E8400 @ 4.0Ghz @ 1.3vcore, load temps with IBT are 58-60, Prime95 is about 50-52.

Currently I am using the fan that came with the cooler which I think is a Scythe Slip Stream, 120mm, 1200rpm, http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspeci...?ItemID=363599

I an thinking of swapping it out with a Scythe Slip Stream, 120mm, 1900rpm, http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspeci...?ItemID=363602
I will then swap the exhaust case fan with the Slip Stream 1200rpm fan which will exhaust more air out that the case fan at the moment.

Will I notice much tempreture difference with this change? is it worth the money?
Or should I look for a 38mm depth fan?

Scythe Ultra Kaze 2000rpm or 3000rpm is better.

Yeah the fans that comes with it is VERY weak, if works fine for normal rigs but if you want to OC, I would get something better.
I would get a Yate from Petra's instead of the Kaze though.

There is no difference between heatsink and a radiator for water cooling system. They are good as delta, yate and panaflo.

well that's what i'm saying; people have said the kazes airflow isn't too great for being a 120x38 after being restricted by a heatsink or radiator
don't quote me on that! i'm just stating what i've read in that guy's huge/multiple fan test

absolutely. that slipstream is a bit weak for such massive heatsink. get a san ace, delta or ebm papst. panaflos are good cheap alternatives.

The Kazes are pretty good fans on a restrictive surface, but they are rather low quality. They are loud for the amount of air that they move, and have problems undervolting.

And don't get Slip Streams. Decent open air, but becomes terrible when it encounters any restriction.

Considering the yate is cheaper and performs better I find the Kaze, even at their low price, overrated.

Unless you're planning on swapping that dual core out for a quad, keep the stock fan because it's keeping your temps at a fine level without sounding like a hoover.
