what you people think about changing the stock fan of nzxt tempest evo with coolermaster 90cfm,,,based on your expirience,,will it make my system cooler ? i hv some pieces of coolermaster 90cfm from my old cases,,i'm thinking whether to sold it or use it..hehe..

i believe there are 6 or 8 screws holding the top panel from inside the chasis, you might need to remove your mobo in order to get to a few

Well first off thanks for the compliment. Secondly the 140mm fans on the top are pretty easy to change, it's just a matter of finding all the screws that are holding the top in place. The screws are all located inside the case (6, I believe) and it is easiest to do with the motherboard out of the case. I changed all my case fans out at once with nothing inside the case either so I could do my cable management the best I could. Just take your time and you will get r done...

EDIT:
Just bought these fans for my H50, got 2 of them for a push/pull and hopefully I can find some screws long enough to add shrouds as well...

Just moved my computer from the office to my bedroom because my house has a lot of people right now. Sorry there's no flash and it's blurry, my camera hardly works due to old batteries.

Damn blockage at work and can't see the pic Will check back later after work...LOL

Well guys I got my fans today and here is a couple pics me unboxing my, Feser / Noiseblocker Triebwerk 55mm 1800RPM fans. I will post up some more shots of them once I get these babies installed. I hope my temps will be lower now after spending $80 on two fans...

Great! you got em'

I am curious to see how much air they move and what the dB rate it is on these fans? Hopefully they both fit inside your case...keep us updated!

Does not seem like the way to go but the $80 spent help shave off 9c under full load in Linx. Just need to find screws locally that can accomidate my shrouds.

UPDATE:
Well guys I got my Noiseblocker fans installed yesterday and these babies helped shave off 9c while under full load in Linx. Living in Florida with the summer heat, these fans really help alot. Here are some pics of them installed. I didn't have time yesterday to try and find long enough screws for the shrouds so I just installed these guys to see how they perform. Now I have my 1055T OC to 3.9Ghz @1.42v...
