how muh airflow is required for a XPbarton 2800 (non-overclocked) in shuttle heat pipe. Would the 25cfm acoustifan be satisfactory. Or would i be better going with a 30/32 cfm noiseblocker (or coolink).
The system is run at stock with 512mb ram, samsung 120gb 7200 rpm, onboard graphics (no gaming) and std. shuttle PSU(which actually seems to be quite quiet).
Beacause of above could i also get away with the zalman passive heatsink on the northbridge, or should i consider using a resistor on current fan.
