Fans for Cryo LX Mod

I am interested in changing the fans in my Cryo LX, the left and center one make a rattling noise when it is on low and I am sure I could get more out of this. I realize I might possibly have to do some mods to the housing.

I just am not really sure what fans would be appropriate for this mod. I want to get three SilverStone FN121's, but I am not 100% sure how I would be able to set up the fan controller that comes with the fans, or if I could even use the existing Cryo Controller. It runs off a 5v AC/DC plug + a usb to usb plug gives it a little more juice I think this brings a total of 10v?

these are the fans I want to get. Are these overkill? What CFM should I look for, with these three I would be @ 110CFM @12v/2400RPM per fan. So 330CFM out of the cryo is serious air cooling. I also wonder what affect this would have on my laptop fans. Could that amount of airflow damage them?


I also think I will need this adapter, with this adapter I can power the three Silverstones and bypass the power constraints of the USB HUB and Fan Controller. I have tried plugging in a 12v plug and I ended up frying the Fan Controller board. So I think this is the safest way to do this, But I can still power the fan controller through the Cryo plug

Here are pics of the Cryo.

This is the Fan housing
These are the USB hub/Power source and the Fan Controller board.

If anyone could share some insight into the SilverStone's capability to link more than one fan to a supplied single controller or some tips for this mod I would appreciate it. Also, is it possible for me to not use the 4 pin to power these fans?

I also want to throw something like this in as well.NZXT Sleeved LED Case Light Kit

EDIT:

This maybe in the wrong sub forum if so can a mod move it to the appropriate one?

 

Bump...Anyone at all can share any insight at all about this? I ordered the parts, but I think it is going to be a lot of trial and error on my part to get everything working properly. I was just hoping to see if that power adapter is enough, I also am getting some 2 pin to 3 pin adapters to try to use the Cryo fan controller.

 

Id be getting a 12v DC adapter and a couple of sony fluid bearing fans, they last freakin forever and are very quiet. Sleeve fans are much more picky about orientation while bearing fans are not.

Sycth S-Flex are the brand/model I get.

 

Hey,

I was also looking for some news fans to replace the ones in my current Cryo LX. I was looking at the Scythe Gentle Typhoon 3000rpm with around 85cmf, and its a bit noisy but the airflow is great. I think it needs at least a 12v dc adapter, have the 5.1v dc which came with it. How does it go with yours? did you get the fans for your Cryo?
