I could use some suggestions in regards of replacing the fan on Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B with something stronger.
Specifically - anyone has any glue or speculation how this cooler scales with CFM and/or static pressure? It's a pretty thin cooler so I would assume that it scales better with CFM to some degree than with high static pressure but I'm quite interested in other peoples experience with that cooler. In a nutshell I'm looking for the best fan option for that cooler which would strike a good balance between noise and cooling capacity. Should I rig up a shroud somehow to put a 140mm fan on it, or perhaps a 38mm 120mm fan like ultra kaze?
Currently this heat-sink has a Arctic Fan F12 on it - http://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/arctic-f12.html - in a nutshell ~70 cfm and 1mm H2O pressure normal 25mm thick and ~1350 rpm fan. Which should be healthy upgrade from the stock 12mm thick slim fan rated for up to 38 cmf at 2000 rpm.
I am cooling an i7-3820 @ 4.3 GHz with it at stock volts. I'm hitting about 75 C under load and approx 50 C idle and would like to get these temperatures a little lower, if possible. In addition I would like to avoid going nuts with noise although I am considering to put Ultra Kaze 3000 rpm on it for a change just to see if it improves temperatures significantly (2.5 mm H2O, 133 cfm but also loud as hell at full rpm)
Has anyone managed to get a 140mm fan somehow mounted on it? If it has been done then how?
Height wise I actually do not have large problems - just because this is a mobile system then I rather would not put a tower heat-sink on it. I have already lost one motherboard to the potholes + heavy tower heatsink (Thermaltake Frio) combo in the past. So even "thick" fans are an option, although I would prefer to keep the total height under ~100 mm so any construct on top of the heatsink would be ideally smaller than ~60 mm in height.
Any thoughts? Suggestions ?
