I've had to turn off one SMP on my new toy as everything's been getting a little warm
Standard case fans and retail CPU cooler on the 9450 had 64deg CPU and 45deg mboard.
Borrowed a couple of Antec 120mm fans from work (30dBA / 79cfm / 2000rpm) we've bought to cool a cupboard and got the mboard down to 40deg but not good enough.
Now with just one SMP running we're cooking at 53deg CPU which is much better. Only problem now is the noise of the new fans (was near slient before)!
Need to find some relatively good cfm sub-20dBA fans. Also reckon a fan controller as the fan headers on the mboard are giving odd rpms to the two fans I added.
Anyone use these Akasa 120mm fans?
They're rated at 18dBA / 49.74cfm / 1400rpm which seems about right and are bargaintastic at £4.69 each
Also advice on a 4-fan controller for a 3.5" bay - preferably in black would be appreciated![]()
