so im kind of new to these things but when buying a case fan for for my computer is 80mm and 120mm the speed or size, and if its the speed would 120mm be better??

where can i find the temperature that my computer is at?
 
120mm is better because it's bigger. Because of that, it can push more air at slower speeds. It's quieter also since it doesn't have to move as fast.
 
120 is better cos of above ,
also to find temps use pc wizard 2007
or everest home edition
 
You can use everest, cpucool, speedfan, et cetera. As for the fans, MM is a metric measurment, thus it is the size of the fan. The 120mm is slow, but more efficent than an 80mm.
 
and the 200m on the top of an antect 900 is very much good even at low rpm it kicks air , the antec 900 has floor bolts to stop it taking odd :D
 
umm sorry to hijack the thread but i beleive your answers will be useful to the original thread starter aswell.

my question is a case fan is it ment to be blowing in or out ?
 
well usual set up by me
side fan blowing in , rear fans blowing out , front bay fans blowing in ,

blowhole on top if added blowing out , my current setup is
1 front 80mm led fan blowing in over hd's
1 side 80mm led fan blowing air in onto mobo and gpu
1rear 80mm ran pushing air out ,
psu fan
a 120mm led fan mounteed under the pci and agp card plowing air upwards over theese
 
usually i just experriment and see what offers best temps , i struck lucky with this setup as it keeps my p4 below 35 on idle and 48 on load
