Getting some new cooling

Okay, my computer is really loud. Well, more like VERY loud. I'm planning on getting some quieter fans and whatnot, whatever.

So, question. Is 56.3 CFM / 94.7 m3/h CFM a high airflow? I mean, for a fan with only 23db, that's seems higher than a lot of other fans I've seen.

Or would this be a better deal. All the Ultra stuff I've ever used was alright, but still.

I'm just sent NZXT an e-mail to see if I can find the specs on my stock fans. They seem to have a good amount of airflow, but they are pretty F-ing loud.

Question 2: Anybody know anything about this CPU fan/heatsink?

Optional question 3:

Don't you think these lamps would look way better than my LED fans?

Oh yeah, I'm going to have 2 UV lamps and 2 blue or green lamps.

For the cash, go with a freezer 64 pro... you cant lose.

53 CFM is very high airflow... mine do the job fine and I think their all under that.

LOL i KNEW you were gonna say its loud XD

do you REALLY need so much ventilation? its an unOCed AMD64 CPU with just one GPU.

Well, yes.

how about remove a fan (front or side) and just add the freezer 64 pro

Anyone know why my computer runs extremely hot, still? I've been running Prime95 on both cores of my CPU for only about 5 minutes, my temps are 53C CPU, 51C MB. Seriously, this is terrible. I can take pictures of the inside of my computer if you think cables and shit are blocking airflow, because it's pretty tidy. 3 case fans, 32CFM, front side and rear. Front intake, side intake, rear exhast.

Any ideas?

29C IDLE 38-40C LOAD depending upon ambeint temps... **pats opty**

Two case fas (both exhaust FTW)

yup no idea why you had a fan in the front.

EDIT:
so yeah Q, nothing to worry about, its normal.
lol and 2005 fuck you >< i get 38-41C full idle with CnQ on down to 1GHz

2005 · #12 Post by **2005** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 11:35 am

ROFL... i reach that maxed out at 2.43ghz no CnQ and two exhaust fans on low... FTW bitch!

55C load NOT overclocked, decent airflow and everything? I would never say that's normal.

well you can probably lower the voltage by about 0.2V, that should decrease the temp quite a bit. do some stability tests with that of course
