Hi guys, not exactly a serious question here but I just wonder what would happen if I installed some delta fans onto a CPU cooling system. The delta fans I'm on about are 120mm ones which have 252CFM which is massive. If I were to put 3 of these fans onto an NH-D14 with a non-over clocked 4790, would that be the lowest temperature ever recorded? I imagine that I would be able to get some pretty high over clocks with this! What do you guys think? Might try it when I'm older to see if I can get worlds highest over clock with an air cooler lol.
 
people may find this funny but for a while i used 2 - 250 cfm delta 120mm fans on the hyper 212's heat sink, controlled by a dedicated fan controller. I was takeing thermodynamics at the time and also used aluminium tape to seal off the sides to heat sink. the result was a jet sitting in my living room i eventually went to water cooling because of the noise. however the interesting part was, at full power while the system was idle my core temp was 10 degrees below the internal case temp.
 


Thats what ive been wanting to do for my 5960, I've just been trying to find what the best tower cooler to strap a pair of those on would be.
