will this help my temps

[TLKfatman]

I have an AMD Athlon xp 2200 with a valcano 6cu+ cpu cooler MOBO gigabyte ga-7vrxp VID Ge force 4 4600 128 Ram 512 2700 133mhz HD 2 maxtor HD 425w power sup and 2 turbo cool (31cfm)and 2 sunon (31cfm) case fans in a cybertec case

I just orderd and SLK-800 and Panaflo 80mm High Output (39.6cfm)to go on it, 2 Thermaltake 80mm Smart Case Fan 2 (20.55 ~ 75.7cfm) for case fans? and 2 CRYSTAL CLEAR FAN 80 x 80 x 25mmalso case fans (32.5 cfm)
the reason im doing this is cpu temp keeps getting highter then i like idle is 40c full load is 53-55c :cry: mobo is 30-36

i was wonder how i could set this up to get the best results with the least amount of noise and the best cooling and no problems
or if i should get diff fans to do this.
any help would b most helpful :D

well.. with the money your spending case fans and such.. you can get a watercooling setup, and lower your temps by a whole lot

Water is pretty big, and I don't recommend it till you've done some hard research on what it's about, I would never recommend it for beginners.

Hmm too bad you didn't make this post before you ordered. I would have suggested you get a Tt Smart Fan II for your CPU, and several more if you can or get a Sunon 50 which are cheap.

I think the best setup to do is setting the Tt Smart Fan on the CPU since it has a variable RPM Controller and you'll be able to adjust the cfm and rpm of the fan and really help.

Panaflo and Tt Smart Fan II as intakes and the two crystal clear as exhaust.

I always think it's best to have more intake than exhaust since you're pushing more cool air in and not to forget your PSU Fan as well.

Ithink 130$ for better cpu cooler and replacment of all fans in system is, well fine with me and a lot cheaper then if i wint with water cooling not to mention the fact that i am just getting the clear fans cuz they have 4 leds in them

would i want to keep the 4 case fans i have in there or just toss them into one of the other systems and if i do keep the origanal case fans will power sup be enuff :cool:

I recently got myself a Smart Case Fan II and it is a great fan! A whole lot better than the case fan I ripped off the back of my case as a temporary measure while waiting for the TT SCF II. (Tip: Don't stick your finger in the fan.....you'll break off the blades if it's cheap.....mine was cheap). My case temps are exceptionally high, so my CPU temps are high too. At full load, I've never seen it go over 44C with the side of the case on. Without the side panel, it'll drop at least 5 or 6 degrees.....My room isn't too cool either. With good case flow, I could easily see less than 40C at full load, if not more. It's a great fan, I promise. It is loud at top speed, but the cooling power at 3500 or so is negligable.... Give it a try however you feel like doing it. It's not that much work to switch 'em if it doesn't work the way you want it to.

I have the SLK too.....great heat sink.....Don't drop it.....I still haven't been able to get the dings out....

well i got the slk 800 and all the fans and tossed them in. to my delite :D my cpu temps are one degree above room temps :D i did go with the smart fan 2 on the hs and put the led lights in the back and one smart fan 2 in the front and just left the panaflo on the desk :)

am very happy with it

o idel temps are 27c and full load is 33c room temp is 26c

[zachj]

your temps are a whole lot lower than mine......my case temp is 32, though. My room is 22.......bad ventilation, it seems......gotta' do something about htat.....I knew it was bad because of the difference of room and case temps, but if your temps are that low, I guess it's really bad. Great to hear that it worked out well for you.
