    My brand new NZXT CRYO LX doesn't feel like it's cutting it for me so i'm deciding to mod it my question is as follows...

    -Does anyone know the stats on this cooling pad?

    -what size of case fan can I use? I saw a scythe ultra kaze but it's 120x120x35 i'm wondering if that extra 10mm would fit or do i have to stick with 120x120x25 size fans?

    -If ultra kaze don't work what kind of fans would you recommend for gaming? I was thinking of one of these 3

    Antec
    Newegg.com - Antec 761345-75026-4 120mm Red LED Case Fan
    COOLER MASTER SickleFlow
    Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER SickleFlow 120 R4-L2R-20AR-R1 120mm Silent operation Red LED case fan
    Scythe slipstream 1900rpm version
    Newegg.com - Scythe SY1225SL12SH 120mm "Slipstream" Case Fan

    -If the case fan you recommend needs something extra can you recommend the item that it needs?

    -Is there anything else I can do to the cooling pad to make it work better?

    no, 10mm extra WON'T FIT.beware. you can check it because of the caddy where fans are. if it's more then 25mm then the cooler can't stand straight.

    the other questions are easily awnsered by the large number of topics about modding the nzxt cryo lx.

    Why would I ever need a KVM switch? I don't work on multiple computers at once.

    I just thought of another question:

    the Antec and all the other case fans that i'm looking at, if i decide to keep it using the DC to USB cable guessing that's a 5v if i crank it all the way up will I get the 2000rpm's? Since the ones I chose doesn't have some kind of requirement listed

    @__-_-_-__

    both search buttons actually don't work for me. I wouldn't know where to look. I tried them a couple of times and it doesn't work. I tried using google search modifier and it came up with the same results essentially. Since I only saw what I already seen.
