    Will these work with my rig and help it out?

    Getting two of these for my case

    And two of these to replace the one fan I have on my heatsink.

    Would that give me enough cooling to be able to overclock and add some more stuff into my computer? I'm still a rookie at computer building so I'm just making sure.

    Well I guess that would be smart. I have a coolermaster hyper 212 plus for the heatsink and a lancool PC-K58 for the case.

    Lancool's website really doesn't give you much in the way of information.

    As far as adding 3 fans to a case goes yeah that will definitely help out cooling. Even a single fan set up for the CM 212 would allow you to do a beginner overclock. With the additional cooling you should be able to go anywhere between 400Mhz and a 1Ghz overclock. Just have to gauge CPU temps and take it a step at a time.

    Reviews say enough though, it's a pretty nice and widely-used case :P

    The stock fan that comes with Hyper212+ (CM Blademaster 120mm) is actually incredibly good and is designed for that heatsink, matching static pressure/airflow/etc etc and should allow you to yield a fairly decent overclock.
    I think someone here (Cantii I think) saw an improvement when he reverted back to a single Blademaster...and he was using two Noctuas. Just make sure you did a good job with applying the paste and mounting the heatsink and the cooler will do the rest of the magic.

    Now for case fans, you can fit two 140mm top fans so you could use those as exhausts for some heavy negative pressure:


    They may have come with some kind of mounting bracket (or maybe not). They may help temps, but only slightly. Overall that case should be ventilated just fine, I wouldn't buy any more than a single 140mm as a top exhaust and leave it to that.

    My comment about their site was in regards to the spec info. Was trying to find out what fans come with it and what can be added on. Needless to say the broken English and lack of information made it difficult.

    Looks like you got it covered though Xuvial.

    Lian-Li's support is more or less non existent, probably the only downside. A pretty BIG downside if you run into complications with your case, but most people seem to do fine >_<
