lower the temps...

flunders · Nov 2, 2004

Right I have a Asus Star Ice cooling a 3.2e O/C to 3.84 with 1.53 volts and the temps at around 60c degrees on full load. If I bought a THERMALRIGHT XP-120 with a good Fan do you think I can lower the temps? Or do you think the star ice is a better cooler than the xp-120?

Not bad, I didn't realize the Star Ice was that decent. It looks like a jet engine. :burn:

xp-120 with a good fan probably will lower temps, especially if you duct it, but it shouldn't lower temps drastically or anything. Maybe 5 degrees Celsius. 10 maybe if you lap it.

You mean an exprememly loud fast one?

Duct = tube of some sort coming from outside of the case to bring in cold air

Doesn't necessarily have to bring cold air from outside, it can blow hot air outside.
What I meant specifically is placing a tube over the heatsink fan that leads directly out a fan on the side of the case. Doing so creates a vacuum that pulls hot air through and away from the CPU.

Check out the link in my signature and it will explain it all (this is my case in this article)

Dropped my temps like a rock using the stock HSF unit :clap:

Good Luck
