Samurai zz fan

[Crusader]

Hi , can someone tell me if i can replace the 92mm fan on my Samurai zz heatsink with a 92mm led fan ? or will it effect the performance of the heatsink ?

The fan i want to replace the stock scythe fan with is a 92mm Zalman ZM-F2 LED BLUE fan.

Or could i attach the above fan on top of the scythe fan ?

Thanks

1. Surely performance will change. The way depends basically on the fan speed you choose for ZM-F2!

2. The original Samurai fan is a 4-pin PWM regulated model. The Zalman is a 3-pin voltage regulated model.

3. So when your board could control the Scythe fan this doesn't necessarily apply for the Zalman. Not all boards can regulate 3-pin fans on the CPU fan header!

4. If the board cannot control the Zalman it will run full speed (12V) all the time = loud. Or you could use the supplied speed reduction adapter from Zalman to lower the rpm - but this also applies for an situation so no faster speed possible in high temp times.
