Very High CPU temps!!!!

No local as far as I can tell. There is one review I found when I first saw it on performance-pcs.com, but not sure if it is truely independent. Looks interesting enough to try though and the results in that review are well worth trying to verify. Also not sure how long it has been available. I was on performance-pcs.com about 2 weeks ago and didn't spot it there.

They sell it. One of only two places as far as I can see.
 
Yip, that's where I found it. Like I said, not sure how long it has been available. They're currently only doing Intel processors but should have AMD support this month. Once I can confirm some things on the H50 to see if it will work then I will definitely be ordering one to see how it does.
 
I suspect he isn't in Cape Town right now. :D Wish this weather would pack up and leave right now.
 
Nice. :P I'm currently packing 2 pairs of tracksuit pants, a t-shirt, a jersey and a fleece jacket.
 
lol. I hope people remember to pack something light in for rAge. will be funny if people come to rAge with long pants and jersey or jacket. they will sweat their ass off
 
You should really be getting better temps. I have battled the last couple of months with two different cases. First one was completely sealed and, when I added 5th Hard drive, OS drive jumped to 52 degrees and windows ran a disk check every time. Its resolved now on Tuesday with a side fan blowing away from the disks and a slot blower on the floor of the case blowing under the lowest drive. CPU and MB were sorted by opening two lowest slot covers and adding Exhaust fan at the back. Did a ghetto mod on the front bezel to push air out.

First PC however is the complete opposite, when I added a back fan temps went up. Had a Zalman 9300AT on the CPU and made no difference with the back fan on. The case has 200mm side fan. Tried the whole front bottom fan blowing in thing and back top exhaust and did not work. So Slot cooler that made no difference in the second case dropped every component down 5degrees. Now have the 9900NT and suddenly my GPU is up from 65-69 idle back to 73 of last summer. aaaaaarrrrrrrgh. Slot cooler has no effect now for some reason. So took slot fan out and put in perforated cover on to make two perforated slots on the back bottom two. What do you know, GPU no change, OS HDD down from 38 to 33 idle and 35 under load. (NB have front fan blowing out now, go figure) So, I believe you can get up to just 10degrees over ambient but you need to try everything around your case.
