[SOLVED] good cpu fan for Dell Optiplex 7010

[Tac 25]

hi, planning to use a Cooler Master T20 as cpu fan for my Dell Optiplex 7010.

would the T20 be good enough, or is there a better cooler that would fit in the case?

the T20 is already on it's way on the mail, but I can just use it for another pc if someone suggests something better.

motherboard: 0GY6Y8

I am guessing by the size of that fan that this is a DT or MT case model?

Have you jimmied up a fan into the front of the case yet?
These cases are notorious for poor air flow, however the lack of ability to OC and such made it a mostly non issue for the use these were designed for.

It's an MT case model.

have not put any fan on the front.

these are the temps with Intel stock cooler. On idle.

[SOLVED] - I upgraded the CPU today, are these temps normal ?

Hi, today upgraded from an i3-2120 to an i5-2500k. made me nervous at first, because it got stuck in the square windows 10 screen at boot. But when I restarted, it went all the way into desktop, and seems to be working fine now. I know an i5 isn't much these days.. but it's till an improvement...

If the T20 fits in your cabinet it should be enough to cool your processor.

nice to hear that.

now, my only problem is if the T20 does not fit when it arrives. Gonna find out in a few weeks. lol
