Woo phant laying it down Yea I did read about the Zal. Flower, but what I decided to do (keeps my CPU cooler then the flower does) is just put a 20db fan on top of the heatsink Though ofcourse the flower would be quiter, with no fans

Just try to behave. Its been a long time since we banned anyone I think (apart from complete head cases) but its more of a military dictatorship here as opposed to a democracy.

Though I dont pay as much attention to my case temperature as I do the processor temperature, mainly because I have so many fans running inside my case (1x80mm IN, 1x80mm OUT, 1x120mm fan cooling my PCI/AGP cards).

So many fans? That's 3. I have 4 intake and 3 exhaust fans in my case. That's 7. (And I run them all off a Vantec Nexus so the noise is awesome - the loudest thing is my 10,000RPM SATA hard drive - it made seeking noises when I first got it, but now I actually don't hear it much at all anymore. The rest of my 4 hard drives are very quiet, especially my 120G WD SE, which is virtually silent.)

And agissi I don't know how hard it would be for you to go to a store and buy like a minimum of 2 80mm case fans for your space heater of a computer. No processor should ever run that hot, you are seriously cutting down on the life of both that processor and your system board, not to mention every other thing in your case because your ambient temp is so freaking hot.

And I got freaked out when my CPU was running load at 122F.

Well the only place that sells case fans around me is Circuit City, and their fans are (1) a rip off, (2) 35db, too loud for me. I know it shortens the life of the CPU, but who gives a 'hoo-ha' when Im only going to keep it for 2yrs? Never the less, lots may say how bad it is its going to break, bla bla, my computer has been absolutly flawless (hardware wise) for the 1.5yrs I've owned it. I know its not the best, I know its not good, but it works, its quiet to my standards, and its not breaking any time soon.

That is without a doubt a bargain Too bad my case doesnt have anywhere to put a case fan [Did I forget to mention that? Theres no holes/anywhere to install a case fan]. Not to mention, its too bad Newegg charge $4 shipping for just one fan. If it makes you any better, I had my friends dad drill a blow hole (he was a professional so its good) that was 92mm, and a 92mm Zalman fan is there. Pushes 35cfm @ 20db That and the 80mm Stealth fan is going well on top of the Volcano 9 (got that for free).

I have (or had, until I started getting ready for WC'ing) three intake and three exhaust.

GPU temperature: idle about 46C, 100% load unknown

Case temperature: More than room temperature, less than CPU temperature

You know all that stuff you were arguing about before? Well if you dont want noise havn't you ever considered watercooling agissi? It may be expensive I suppose but It would keep your PC damn right cool and quiet.
Me I like Noise. No..... I love Noise!!, 75DB of noise in my Beast and Do you wanna know the temperature? My CPU chip stays at 34C thanks to my Coolermaster Jet 7!! and it's overclocked!!. My Motherboard stays at a cool 19C cause of my 2 Vantec Tornadoes and my case temp is only 21C!!!
I cant say much about my VGA though that's got it's own fan so I dunno how hot that card gets. :grinthumb

I bet some ppl would agree all noise and no heat win over no noise and all heat. hehe

Other ppl though would say that I'm Insane with 75DB whirring around in my case..............:blackeye:

At first, my CPU was 30C idle (2.95Ghz).

Now, right after moving the wires in the back and hiding them, I've got 25C idle.

This proves that if you do your wiring carefully, you'll have a cool system :grinthumb

I really dont want to keep crapping on about my cpu, ok? - it works fine, it runs great, its absolutely fine how it is. My head is upright, I do know about water cooling, if I had the money I'd get it.
