That's it, I'll post a screenshot of MBM 5 if you want.... I've always gotten great temps, I think it's because my mom refuses to run the heater so its always 55 F in here
Ah, that would explain it... Lot different than having to run the A/C like I do right now... My rooms 84 or so... Maybe that's why I have temps of 46 or so half way idle....

Mine are embarrassing because the chipset fan on my Epox 8kha+ is busted..so its giong for RMA soon. it has another problem too, one of the DIMM slots doesn't work, if it were just a fan problem I'd just replace teh fan.

Bah, I hate fanatical people with temps..
if your load temps are under 50 you are fine.
a 100cfm fan will drive you literally out of your mind.
I am thinking of getting a Mechatronics 50.6 80mm fan (I have a bit of extra cash left over from selling my hard drive), it's about 39db and from what I hear (no pun intended) it's not screaming-loud yet it cools very well.
Originally posted by goudabuddha Meh, I deal with the noise by cranking up the music.
I have 13 fans in my rig.
Having a noisy as hell computer is a waste. I'm not going to be a wimp and insist on a Zalman or something, but there's the line you have to draw between good cooling and your sanity.
Maybe not everyone CAN listen to music all the time, what about when you are at your computer doing a report, etc, do you really want to hear a few Delta Screamers going?
My rig is cool, quiet, and overclocked, there's no need for any Deltas. If you want cool and quiet get 4 Panaflo L1As from www.bgmicro.com, $2.50 each. they make next to no noise and 4 of em is still nearly silent.
BTW, for those of you that don't know, Zalman Flower Cooler is the near-silent CPU cooler. www.quietpc.com
meh, noise has never bothered me much. In fact, when I'm doing a report there has to be music in the background, or I can't think straight. but for most that many fans is excessive.
About my 13 fans, I have most of them hooked up to a rehobus so I can vary the voltage. Like right now all I have going is my blower card and my chipset fans. The only thing I can really hear is the tt fan; at 7200RPM that is a loud bugger
Mine's loud, and hot... I have to keep my comp cool, since my room is already very hot... I somehow manage to have it running at 107 F right now... I'm going to watercooling for Christmas most likely, very cold, and near silent...
