    Default More fans questions!

    Yay another meal for the trolls and hopefully also a topic where some serious answers can be given once again
    Anyway, ive been wondering what 2 fans could be good for cooling my projector, now that i know how to put them on.
    I bought these today because high cfm but later i also found static pressure bearrings speed blah blah blah also matters.
    All in all, the laser projector of mine will soon feature a pretty big tec for the red module and also heats up without the lasers even running. I dont have airdlow yet...
    Ok these are the ones i bought:
    noctua 92mm nf-b9 - to push air in.
    And this one to push the air out - http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?...=specification

    Did i make a good choice?
    Kinda wrong to first buy then ask, but didnt know so much factors were in play for fans until a hour ago.
    Or wont it matter alot for a laser projector build?
    You are unique! Just like everyone else...
    Mum: What do you want for breakfast? Me: Lasers Ofcource!

    Just blow air in and allow the air to go out through vents, this creates positive pressure in the case and prevents dust from being sucked in.

    Put a filter on the inlet fans to keep the optics clean, HEPA filters are cheap these days. You can even get them at big box stores and some drug stores. Or off fleabay. Positive pressure is good.

    Those Fans should be fine but as was mentioned above only blow clean filtered
    air into the Projector and place your exit vents in tested areas to get the most
    efficient cooling air flow..
