Try the PWM mod on these (see my sig), then control with mb.

Edit: Wonder how well will the Silverarrow work with a lapped CPU ? Any1 have tested it performance increases / stays the same / decreases since its said the SA has a small lump in its base?

Hey guys, I have a new build with a SA on a 2600K. Currently it is running at stock speeds at around 40C idle and 60C load, ambient temperature is around 26C. Does this sound right to you guys? I was expecting lower temperatures with the SA due to the reviews it has gotten. I have reseated the cooler a couple times with MX4 although temperatures have been the same.

How much TIM are you using and how are you applying it? What is your case airflow? Those temps are definately too high with stated ambient temp.

BTW post a pic so I can add you to the club!

Using the pea method, using a small dot of TIM. I have 2x intake fans rated at 92.4CFM each and 3x exhaust fans rated at 47CFM each.

Sounds like TIM and SA are fine. It might be your GPU that's causing problems...exhuasting hot air into the case that's then forced through the SA on it's way out. You could try changing the front most top fan to intake to feed fresh air to the SA. Depending on how much head room you have above the m/b this may help out a bit.

EDIT: Forgot to ask how your SA is oreinted...horizontal or vertical?

You can get sheets of stiff plastic from a hobby store. You might try using them to partition your case to keep hot air expelled by your gpu's from entering the intake of your cpu heatsink.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have also questioned whether my temperatures were due to insufficient airflow as many say the 800D isn't a great case for air cooling. I have tried leaving the case with both side panels off although it only decreased temperatures by around 2C. Do you guys think I may have a defective CPU or SA?

I doubt it. Have you stressed the cpu yet with something like Prime95? Or at least a cpu intensive game? If you had a bad chip you would know pretty quick. Most likely it's the case current airflow that needs tweaking.

Where are your HDD's? You could put them in the lower psu zone and free up some air coming in from the front fans. Also did you try reversing one of more of the top fans to intake? Even though your intake fans have a high cfm rating they still have to pull through mesh and push through HDD cages. If there is nothing in the way more air can get in. Or you have a bunch of Gentle Typhoons and I need to shut up.

How's your cable management? If every wire possible isn't routed behind the m/b that's more resistance to airflow. A shot like this of your case would help.
