Yesterday I assembled my new rig *see signature* and I need advices for cooling it. I am running prime 95 and ai suite detects a lot of heat 65 C. Personally I looked in my case and indeed it is hot. And I want to overclock. So I need advices on anew cpu fan+heatsink, and if it is possible to mount a 120mm on the cpu. Then I need some case fans right? I looked at glacial tech silent blade 120mm. Maybe I should add a cpu fan duct. Please I need some advices! Thanks a lot.
 
For a test take off the side panel and get a desk fan or simular device to blow air into the case. See what your load temps are.. This will give you max. case cooling..
Have you removed the factory fan grids yet? These are the restrictive grills that come made into the case.. Removing them increases air flow while reducing noise.
Do you have any pics of your case?

I guess the problem is with my cpu heatsink. The fan is quite good. Intel stock heatsink is very very bad. My case in within my desk. Actually I didn't place yet the side panel since my build. So I wonder what the temps would be if I would place it :mad: hot...very hot. I will do a test in the next hour. But my question still remains: what cpu fan/heatsink to buy? Thanks in advance

*Celeron overclocks very well. I didn't up yet the voltage, but it already reached 3 GHZ... The only matter is heat
 
Whats the load temp on the CPU & the load/ system temp? Oh and the rooms temp close to your rig.

Here's a top end HS.. You'll need to pick up a fan and some AS 5 if you don't already have them..

Here's a smaller HS..

The air temp going INTO the heatsink or radiator fan is the floor - all other temps you see are added onto this temp. If the air temp is 35 or 40C going into the fan, then there is NO WAY this heatsink will give you 40C at the CPU. The following table lays out what to expect for a 100 watt CPU:
