Cool down your PC

[clocker]

Oh, I don't know...everything?

You're the one saying that everything is hot, the question then becomes...how hot?
How hot is too hot?

an avarage my cpu temp is 68 c so in this case i think i should get a good heatsink and for the future when i replace my Q6600 processor mine is stock and what kind of case coolmaster or thermal take i withnk that 1 is not bad for hte price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133086 if you have something better in 250 $ let me know and what kind of heatsink for cpu and for hte heatsink that http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118019 or something better you know

what i reallyneed is a good mid tower case with quite and big fabs i'm thinking about cool master or thermaltake but wich 1 is the best 1 and price limit 250 $$

I must admit two things...first, my interest in PC parts has waned of late so I'm not up on the latest/greatest shit. Second, I usually hate Thermaltake stuff.
That said, the case you cite looks interesting. Just as a matter of principle, I would look into CoolerMaster or Silverstone before deciding thought.

What are you going to replace the Q6600 with?
A whole new platform?
In that case, wouldn't it make sense to wait on a heatsink till you find what processor it needs to fit?

I'm currently a big fan of Noctua's cpu coolers. Using a NH-U12P SE1366 for my i7 920, and it's pretty sweet. May be worth looking into, it's pretty quiet, while it cools pretty well. I'm fairly certain there's a nearly identical version, maybe the same one with a different fitting kit, for your socket.

As for the case, I don't really know. Best airflow I've seen in a case I built with was inside of a cm stacker. Those are frickin huge.

Using a ChiefTec Aegis (the old single door mesh version) for my current machine. But that's just cos I really like the look of it.

I had used the Enzotech Extreme X for a long while when I was on air cooling. Worked well with my Q6600



Personally I'm not convinced that all you need is a CPU cooler. I think you should get a case first. Even if the CPU cooler helps it's nothing without good airflow inside. At very least get some better case fans and go up from there.

Thats true get a good case up 200$ but who makes better cases coolmaster or thermaltake any recomend
