ok, finally got everything put together...here is the important stuff:
lian li pc-6083a
thermalright ax-7 w/ YS-Tech 120mm fan (131cfm)
amd xp 1900 agoga
stock fans, all on full blast
having installed mbm5, i see that first, system temps are ~35C...this is partly due to the fact that the room in which the computer sits has terrible ventilation...a/c doesnt even seem to cool the room very well...that's not a big deal because i'm moving soon, but...
second: cpu temps (on die) are 53C!!! now, i have a few questions regarding this:
is this due greatly to the case temps? i do figure that blowing 35C air onto a cpu isnt that great...
maybe it's the fan? the ys tech blows a helluva lot of air, but it also blocks 2 of my fans...it blocks one of my antec true430 fans as well as an exhaust fan above my pci slots (only halfway)
plus, the ys tech is so close to the side of the case (with the adapter) that i dont think it has enough air to actually push onto the processor...
when i feel around the fan, a lot of the air is coming out around the fan grill, which i find a bit odd...
now, it could also be that the AS3 that i put on there is not on correctly...i took it to a shop because something was wrong when i initially built the comp...they put on the HSF for me, and i dont know if they used as3 (which i had taped to the case), and plus, they stole it (i actually left it there), so i dont have any more...i may check to see if there's any on there...if not, i'll have to see where the holy tube is...
so there are my questions...i have a vantec tornado as well, but that thing is literally as loud as a vacuum cleaner compared to this ys tech fan...for better cooling, should i hook up the vantec? it doesnt make any sense to me that the tornado would work better, because the ys tech pushes almost 50 more cfm...i have a rheobus, so i can always turn it down, but i dont like getting warnings from MBM5 that my cpu is @ 60C when i'm gaming....
i'd really like the temps to be more in the 40C range than at 50C idle...
just to scare y'all: in mbm5, the only sensor i had active was the system case one...before i cleaned up the case and hooked up the rheobus, (i thought this sensor was cpu, to boot!) it was constantly in the low 40s...imagine what my cpu was like...
as i said, i think it is very odd that some ppl have cpu temps ~35 (maybe 40C on die max), yet with all my cooling, i am at 53C...what am i doing wrong?
suggestions PLEASE!!!
