My CPU gets about 54C full load at 3.2Ghz. I have a AC 64 Pro w/AS5 currently on it. With 2 weak fans. The first is a 120mm 63.85CFM Exhaust Fan and the second is a 120mm 1100RPM Low Noise stock case fan. I am going to soon get a 4870 and planning on OCing that a little, along with getting my X2 7750+ to 3.4Ghz.

I am currently looking at a 120x20mm Medium Yate Loon for the front (small opening for fan).

A Sythe Ultra Kaze 133.6CFM Exhaust fan,

and a AeroCool Blue LED Fan at 89.39CFM Side Fan.

Also maybe a Tuniq Tower for my X2 7750? I do believe these fans should be enough to bring my load temp down to at least 52C and with a Tuniq Tower maybe 50C and that shouls allow me a decent temperatured 3.4GHZ overclock. What do you guys think?

tuniq tower is old and not very effective any more. get a xigamatek dark knight. its smaller and cools better. should be cheaper as well.

that kaze fan is LOUD i dont know if you could handle it without a fan controller. like literally a turbine in your PC.

Get all medium speed yate's (save yourself some money) and get a dark knight.

edit: hell a xigmatek hdt-s1283 will do great for your needs. $26 shipped from newegg after rebate.

Thats a great price for a great cooler.

I have a fan controller and I could bear with the loudness of the Kaze but the CFM of a Kaze vs Medium Yate is kinda big! I want the lowest temperature because my mom likes to open the windows during a hot summer day compared to simply turning the AC on.

AeroCool's are horrible, they are loud as hell. Try this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103060 They are way better and cheaper. They are also very quiet, and while it doesn't have the CFM as the AeroCool, it has a lot more static pressure. I use 4 of them on my case.

for the heatsink upgrading from a 92mm to 120mm heatsink will be a big upgrade Mugen 2 or the Dark Knight best price/performance heatsinks. Megahalem and a modded TRUE would be the only heatsinks that would be better.

This for a LED fan very popular http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...7BBTkwCjCECjCE

I dont think you need that Kaze could go with something else like a Scythe S-Flex or Gentle Typhoon instead or Yate Loons from petra's

well as long as you have a way to control that monstrosity then yes it would provide the most air flow through your case.

the xiggy 1283 though is way better then tuniq and way cheaper as well. you should def get that.

Ok so which is better. 1283 or Dark Knight?

Also though it is lower CFM what's the difference between it having greater static pressure? Won't it still move less air?

id go for the 1283... it actually cools better then the dark knight yet is $20 cheaper.

static pressure is in reference to how well a fan can handle an obstruction in its air flow path (e.g. a heatsink). If it can still push air through with full strength it has a good static pressure abilities.

the difference is that DK is black and comes with a higher CFM fan besides that their exactly the same.

Dark Knight is a S1283 nickel plated with a better fan and a bolt-thru kit.

Petra's Yates are great for the price. Also consider the Zalman ZM-F3.
Ultra Kaze's aren't that good. Low quality, and they tend to produce extraneous noises. Static Pressure isn't that great for a 38mm fan, and they're rather loud.

Turbine fans look nice, but they tend to perform pretty badly, especially on a rad or HSF.
