| @0mega I dust out my case every 2 months or so. I only have 2 80mm intakes which are filtered, and 3 80mm exhausts. Neway, it doesn't help too much, and when I lower the voltage on the fan it gets this really irritating whistling sound, and the higher it gets (the voltage) the more it transforms into a jet engine sound I use Arctic Silver 5 which was applied about a half a year ago, and I have the cooler titghtened down pretty good with custom screews (the ones that came with the cooler wouldn't fit). The air flow is great, I have all the cables tied down and out of the way. I was planning on upgrading to some plastic tubing soon (mainly for looks, but should help a bit more in airflow). Temps are not too bad. when I run it at stock voltage and speed the cpu stays between 38-48C at idle/load or so when my room temp is around 28C. However, I don't know how true that is anymore because I use speedfan to measure the temps but this new application called core temp (which is said to be more accurate) reports different readings on a 3-7C scale I do have the AC on and running, but my room is located upstairs and by the time the air reaches up here it has gone all through the house (I am the last room it goes to). Even by shutting off some of the smaller rooms like bathroom and other rooms in the house and opening mine up it's stall hard to cool my room. I live on the east cost of Texas on an island and it's pretty damn tropical down here. During the summer my room can be anywhere up to 34C. P.S. Oh yeah, my system specs =P X2 3800+ @ 2.4Ghz Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI 2gb Corsair Twin DDR-400 @ DDR-333 XFX 7800GT @ 480/1200 Creative Audigy ZS 2x160gb Seagate HDs 2xNEC DVD+-R/RW drives |

| Overclocking on STOCK cooling should be winning! You're funny Omega, but it looks like you really want to win this. Who doesn't Anyhow, I think people that really deserve to win first of all, should be an overclocker... (we all are ) Second of all, should be running on stock oem cooling... (poor soul... like me) And lastly but not least, have poor cooling resulting in high temperature in the system... (hot as hell like my idle 41°C :grum Now on to the specs... ASUS A8N32-SLi Deluxe Gamer Edition (please gimme the cooler that matches this ) AMD Athlon64 3700+ oc'd @ 2.75GHz (250*11) Platinum 1GB DDR Dual Channel Ram @ DDR458 2.5-3-3-5 (although the name, these are value rams) MSi NX6600GT oc'd @ 550MHz/1090MHz (gfx card already poor, processor is slowing it down even more) 2x250GB Maxtor SATA2 HDD @ RAID0 (only goodies in this system) 2 Fans (trying to cool but makes too much noise) Room temp 24-26°C CPU @ idle 41°C (in BIOS it shows 44°C) CPU under load can reach up to 52°C This is my CPU... currently sleeping @ 41°C There's a side fan to cool my case... but doesn't seem to do much There's also a top fan in the case... I tried to put this fan on the rear also, but it didn't help. |

| Omega: maybe you should switch back to stock fan... maybe something else is wrong... maybe you're one of those that shouldn't tetter with their hardwares |
