I was wondering if anyone knew how many CFMs a stock AMD heatsink with a 60mm 4600RPM fan puts out. The reason I'm asking is I have a 80mm Everflow that should put out around 39CFMs at 2400RPM and 26dBA. I was thinking of machining myself an adapter that would raise the 80mm fan a few cm off the heat sink to act as a shroud and prevent the "dead spot" syndrom where the center of the fan is. The other advantage that I can see of doing this is that if the sides of the adapter a smooth enough it will act as a venturi. This should speed up the air which hopefully will help cooling. Even if there is no performance gain in the CPU temp atleast it will be much quieter. Is this idea of anyworth? Will the Evercool be able to cool the CPU?
Thanks.
