Hello
- 70x70x15mm Nidec Beta SL D07R-12T2S4 A MR ( 3-PIN )
Is found on genuine stock AMD CPU 754-socket cooler ( Socket A, 939,... had similar basic fan: AMD hologram and full aluminium heat sink=no copper core or such.)
Now I'm replacing the 14 year old 70mm Nidec fan ( Ball bearing ):
-> I ordered Gelid SILENT 7 ( Hydro / Fluid )

* 22 dB * CFM= 20
The original loud 40 dB Nidec has CFM= 30. Is this a problem ?
I ordered also Gelid SILENT 12(=120mm fan) CFM= 40 to replace an old 400W PSU fan. Is this a proper CFM for PSU ?
I know high end fans go up to CFM=100 but is it necessary ?
I'm planning to run a basic AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 59W .
- Any good "rule of thumb" for CPU, PSU, Case air flow CFMs ? What CFM goes to where ?
