I know very little about fans except that I have an Arctic Cooler 11 LP in my current system to cool my CPU, and that my hard drive temperatures tell me I need another one at the back of my case's grill as an exhaust. As a result, I'm feeling overwhelmed at the many options out there and unsure exactly what I need to be buying.
The problem is that while I see a majority of fans on Amazon claiming to be CPU fans, I don't see many at all that are termed case fans.
Is this a matter of terminology? Are CPU and case fans essentially the same thing? Would I in theory be able to buy another Arctic Freezer 11 LP, separate the fan from the heatsink and attach it to the back grill of my case as an exhaust?
