After previously complaining about my rather toasty Opteron 170 I never considered that the airflow in my Eclipse-62 could be the problem.
I've got two 120mm Sharkoon 1000s for intake / exhaust and one 80mm Sharkoon 2000 blowing down on the PWM area.
Now with this setup my CPU was idling at about 50ºC, but I've just found that with the sidepanel off the CPU hits 55ºC full load (using Orthos), much better.
So here's my question, do I replace my case fans with something a bit more meaty (I do have some Akasa Ambers lying around but they're pretty noisy) or do I go for something like this sidepanel?
Many thanks. :)
