I live in a dungeon so temps aren't really an issue with me but...

I use a Zalmann CNPS7000B-AlCu LED HSF to cool my AMD64 Mobile 3200+ Clawhammer

A Vantec IceBerQ Copper cooler to keep my chipset cool

Memory is cooled by stock Mushkin Black Heatspreaders as well as Vantec IceBerQ Cooper Memory Heatspreaders

Video Card is cooled by a KINGWIN KWVC-3 Ball Super Heat Pipe VGA Cooler

Case is cooled by a stock pair of ENERMAX UC-8TCFS/B 80mm Case Fans

Everything was precleaned with Arctic Silver ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET) Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier and a fresh application of Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound was used.

Look for the kinds of fans you buy, graphics cards may have to have their fans/heatsinks replaced because it may be loud but if thats not an issue for you then dont worry about it,The case usually helps also, ultra cases are usually cool looking and stay cool. If you can watch out for all of that your set. my rig is loud but since I wear a noise canceling headset I dont care.

I simply have the oem Intel HSF on my 915D clocked at 3.6, 2 120mm fans, 1 intake, 1 exhaust, I will be adding a single pci slot fan under my video card to help draw the heat off that.

The keys to remember in air cooling is that while airflow is good its exactly that its "airflow"... A lot of people screw that up and just create massive amounts of turbulence without actually moving much air all the way through the case.


PS- my mobo runs about 28c, proc 30-31c idle no more than 48c load, hard drives stay around 29c.

Well I just modded my Tt Xaser Daimler V6000+ with 2 Sythe Kaza 120mm 3000rpm in the bottem.
Put the Scythe SY1225SL12H 120mm Case Fan on the Ninja Rev B, works the best of all my other 120mm fans.
Got 1 AeroCool Turbine 3000 in back where the Tt 92mm exhaust was.
Got 1 AeroCool Turbine 3000 in the top inside next to the FPS, under the Tt 80mm topcase hole, to blow cool air down the face of the AI7.

Put the Tt 92mm back on the Bliss, and have the 80mmTt SmartFan2 sitting on thr tail of the Bliss to blow onto the 4 Dimms!.

Still got a couple of 120mm's I might try to do something with
P.S. Dont yell 'bout the wires, I had to put the HardCano9 back in to slow the 3k rpm Kazas
Gonna get some of those wire volt drop links soon!!!

The AeroCool Turbine's were rated at aprox 90cfm, but not really sure they're that high.
They do move good air "freely" though.
I like the new Kaza's, but i shoulda got the 2000 series, since I have them volted all the way down, and there running........2k !

I had the Turbine on the Ninja first, then tried the Kaza, but after seeing that even with no fan my idle temps didnt raise for the 10 min. that I had them off it!!
thats why I got the "12H", it has a great balance of force with lack of noise.

here's an expensive but clean and effective way to cool your computer...

it's a q6600 cooled by a d-tek fusion and a thermochill PA120.2
and
2 8800gtx's with danger den gtx blocks cooled by a thermochill PA120.3

it has 2 separate loops. one for cpu and one for GPU's. each loop uses a laing D5 pump(swiftech mcp655)

temps are in the second pic.

i think it was at the top of the overclocking and cooling thread.

@revin: Interesting i have to look into that. I'm working on a custom cooling solution for my gfx cards and i saw that and though that it would be the perfect fan for my "turbocharged" air cooling system.

HSF= Zalman 9700 idle temps 34-34-28-28 load 40-44 ish (Then again its brand new TIM not even 48 hours old.) The hsf sucks cool air from the top vents on the case and blows it down towards the NB chipset.

NB chipset cooling stock <-plan on getting a thermaltake for this later on.

hardrives cooled by a 200mm vr fan Hdd's around 28-30c

Stock cooling on the gfx card. (check my sig for my the CMS) ide 45 load 47-49

1x 120mm vr controlled fan blowing down on the ram. it keeps the ram cool to the touch.

1x120mm rear cooling exhaust fan.

1 pci slot cooler.
