Just looking for some tips on my future cooling setup---------

As I noticed my case temps match my load temps I noticed I need to up my cooling a bit, everything is stock, I only have 1 80mm front intake now, and 1 120mm outtake as well as my PSU exhaust.

idle: 34-42

load: 37-45

These are excellent temps for a stock setup, but it kind of worries me, as well as holds me back in the future from overclocking anything. My CPU cooler stopped working and I got a refund, and now I'm running on a stock HSF for my cpu

This is what I plan to do, not only to make my case cool, but ironically... HOT haha

Front Intake: 2x 80mm

Rear Exhaust: 1x120mm

Over these fans also I'll put filtering so I don't get dust 2x80mm 1x120mm blk

CPU: 1x80mm with copper HS (+Arctic Silver 5)

Anything else I can do? I don't mind the noise as long as its not like a vaccum or sounds like I have 2 tornadoes on a big a*s HS ... (pauses, then laughs)

I picked the fans that are "okay noise qualified" for me but have high CFM rates, anything else I can replace, or any tips would be appreciated.

 

Ok the only thing I would do is take the filters off the 80 mm fans. This will make it louder while decreasing airflow. Personally I would invest in compressed air.

I resent that.

 

haha i did direct that, and to be perfectly trueful I would, but then my mom would throw it out the window probably haha

yeah I might not take the filters, would lower the costs too

 

Yea, I really don't see the point in lowering your airflow when you can just spray compressed air into it once a month.

 

I'm not a big fan of zalman's CPU heatsinks. I just haven't seen much performance come out of them. Sure they're quiet, but when your CPU is melting down your motherboard that won't help you much

thanks ninja, I'll add that on, i hope the guy commenting on his 3700sD being 35 degrees while gaming wasen't lying, yeah I'm gonna overclock in a year, I want the warranty to expire before I overclock, and I'm hoping to get it up from 2.2 to 2.6 at least

 

same heatsink big B has I think, you should ask how it's working out for him IF HE EVER GETS BACK FULLY

 

haha isn't the guy on his honeymoon, or did the wedding still not happen?

 

no idea
