Any tips for air cooling

i can tell you now its rubbish

i had a case with lots of fans and good airflow and in summer my e6300 @ 3.2ghz was idling at 62

i put on a big fan set to 3 and it dropped to under 50

dont ever think the power of massive fan blowing in cool air will be hot

best is water cooling which i eventually got

watercooling is just amazing

I'll agree with you that a fan blowing on a open case will be cooler. In a closed case, well it will move a lot of air. Where it moves to is the issue.

As far as watercooling goes. ja well... what a luxury.

yea glordit i bought that case to replace mt aero cool zero degree cannot wait for this weekend

water cooling is awesome man

a bit expensive not to bad if you save for 2-3 months

I think if you want to watercool then you must do it properly. And then it does become a bit expensive. But hey everything comes at a price.

well 2k should cover it

thats what i paid for a gpu vga and cpu water block

 

[Zenbaas]

The whole kit or just the blocks? and what make?

 

[killadoob]

kit plus blocks

kit was 1.6k gpu gpu and north bridge blocks about 200 each

Sounds good man. Wil prob eventually do the same. Happy for now though.

look water cooling is only really if you overclock

spending 2k on watercooling for a stock standard pc is waste of note
