I recently built this new computer:
A7A266 Mobo
1.3G AMD
(2) 40G IBM 7200 RPM HD
Asus GF3
512 DDRAM
120mm Panaflow front intake fan
90mm Sunon fan mounted in back blowing ducted air straight to the CPU area on Mobo.
The POS HSF I originally installed had it running unstable at 58 - 64C. I replaced this with a Thermalright SK-6 HS with a Sunon 26CFM fan (used Artic Silver). That brought the Temps down to 47 - 50C UNTIL summer hit us. It is now running marginally stable at 53C. Typically it is running 20 - 21C hotter than case temp.
Any recommendations on HS fans that will fit the SK-6 and give better CPU cooling or other suggestions would be appreciated.
I am thinking of biting the Delta 38CFM bullet. (Its gotta be quieter than the room fan currently blowing into the case).
Geez - Its up to 56C now, its 10PM, and I haven't even been gaming.
