Current fan setup is not cooling sufficiently - suggestions?
Hello Dev Shed!
After dealing with much higher than average CPU temps, I finally bought the Xigmatek Crossbow LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit and some new compound for use with my existing Xigmatek HDT-S1283. Now, I'm getting CPU temps of approximately 35-37 for my Quad Core when running at peak, which I'm perfectly happy with.
However, I've discovered that my GPU generally runs at about 65-67 while gaming and both my hard drives are running at about 50-55 at peak, which is much too high for my comfort. Currently, other than my heatsink fan, I have one rear fan which is blowing air across the heatsink, and other fan which is blowing air across the hard drives, but both of the fans are old, cheap generics. Does anyone have any recommendations for new fans and/or a new fan setup that will help lower temps? Thank you.
