noctua all the way :)
What's wrong with the fan that comes with it?
You need to define your goals.
Do you want the lowest temps or the quietest operation?
lowest temps, not bothered about noise
Then I would recommend an Apache helicopter.Quote:

But if noise is not a constraint try one of these http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Im...0_dsc04644.jpg
:w00t::w00t:Hopefully size will not be a constraint considering the diameter of the fan is 128 inches(over 10 feet in diameter)....I'm sure clocker could think of some mods to help it fit :w00t::w00t:
...hah...
"Hah", indeed.Quote:

Until you can pinpoint/define the shortcomings of the system (and by this I mean the entire in-case environment) you cannot begin to address them.
Having chased the cooling dragon for a few years myself I can appreciate the siren call of low temps- before you succumb, gather some baseline data or you'll forever just be shooting in the dark.
