Since my last thread, I'm willing to buy one of these hsf: Thermaltake Silent Boost, Vantec Aeroflow, Coolermaster HHC-L61 and Aero7+/lite. These are all fans that are within budget at ~30$CAN from a place or another. My choice is getting toward Aeroflow.

Noise is a prime consideration, but I also need significant performance over stock AMD HSF because of my high temps problem. (see

What do you think?
Thanks all

If noise is the biggest issue, then go with the silent boost. For cooling, then aeroflow.

Finally, I decided to solve the issue today because it took me lot of time. I finally bought TT Silent boost and a fan case. I tended to get Aeroflow, but my dealer had preference for Silent boost. I know that Aeroflow is better at cooling, but it may not be that significant, while the noise is much less with Silent boost. Anyway, I'll give it a try.

Thanks all for your help! It is very appreciated!

Hi!

I installed everything. I still have my case opened for comparison. In opened case, I had 41C for system and 62C for the CPU.

Now, my numbers are 38C sys and 53-54C CPU with the Silent boost from Thermaltake. I didn't expect a huge drop, but this one is satisfactory.

However, I will need to close my case to see if it can work at non-alarming temperature. I have a question: I bought a case fan from coolermaster 80mm (SAF-B83)and fixed it in the unique slot in my case approximately aligned with the cpu. Do I have to fix it so that it will blow away the air of the case or so that it will get air from the outside and blow it inside? Now it is set to blow air inside, but my initial intent was the opposite. What is best? It is the unique fan for ventilation for the case, except the two fan from my PSU.

Thank you

Generally all fans in the rear of the case blow air out. It helps blow the hot air the CPU creates out of the case.

Ok I tried it so that air blow out of the case. Here are all cases at idle:
*Old stock HSF, no case fan
open: 41sys 62cpu
closed: 41sys 64cpu

*TT silent boost with case fan blowing air in the case
open: 38sys 53-54cpu
closed: 40sys 58cpu

*TT silent boost with case fan blowing air out of the case
open: 36sys 52-53cpu
closed: 38sys 58cpu

The system is cooler with the fan blowing air out, but the cpu is not affected. Let us not forget that Artic Silver warns that Ceramique takes lot of hours of operating to be optimal and I can expect some degrees lest.

So, sure I got my cpu temp down 9C with my new equipment. My air flow in the case is however far from being optimal compared to new cases. The question is now if I accept my cpu running hotter than ideal...

Thats the same question I just got done answering. At least you have improved it a fair amount. I did all sorts of modifying to my current case fans, and bought a new $45 heat sink, and it improved.

However my processor still isn't running ideal temps, but I have given up on it. Its running accetable temps, and I just had to accept it.

I haven't really come up with any other ideals to cool it down farther with air cooling and my case really sucks for cooling anyways.

I have been impressed with the new cooler though, I pretty much never go above 58-59° at 100% load. When overclocking the CPU increases its temperature 2-3° at idle, but the maximum temp stays the same. (Overclock going from 2.08 to 2500 mhz)

Nice overclocking!
I think I'll live with those temps.
Thanks again!

MUHAHAHAHAHA, sorry i can't help but laugh, since my cpu/vga temp is always lower than my case temp.
