I'm running Dual Xeons (5340's) on a SUPERMICRO X7DCA-L, in a Cooler master HAF 932 case. I have one extra 120mm fan in the 5 1/4 bays aimed at the heatsinks. My heatsinks are Thermaltake CL-P0303's.
I think these heatsinks have a lot to do with my problems. I've tried throwing 50CFM fans on them with very little difference. Anyhow under load, the CPU's are hitting the low 70's. I wanted to use the BSEL mod but can't until i can control these temps. Any ideas? I'm thinking of buying a pair of Noctua NH-U9DX's as well.
