The results of my lastest meddling.
test bed:-
athlon axia 1GHz @1.38 Ghz indicated voltage 1.86 volts
Seti@home
Ambient temp 24C (amazing for the UK)
First I tried my Delta FFB8012 80mm 67 cfm
After 15 mins of seti I had a reading of 47C
Next I used my Delta AFB6012 38 cfm
After 15 mins of seti 45C
Hmmm Lets see what happens if you put the 80mm ontop of the 60mm
10 mins, a roll of double sided tape and some cardboard later (yes I did watch Blue Peter) I was ready to go.
After 15 mins of Seti I had a reading of 36C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)
*WOOOT* 9C temp reduction, only 12C above ambient achieved with a £15 themoengine sink.
My averaged fan speed for the 60mm delta had gone up from 6900 rpm to 8150 rpm !!!!
Maybe this is a way to overcome the poor performance of axial fans blowing against the back pressure created by the heatsink.
[edit] The no load temps are 24c ambient 24c CPU awesome
