im not even sure if that heatsync is good, it was just an example...but it may be good...

i still think that something is wrong with the heatsync u have now, that the temps are so high...

btw, no u cant use that fan on ur current heatsync, cause its 80mm...

Why not get an 80 mm fan and an adapter. Should be quieter too.

been there done that

i got one of them and a 80mm fan but the temps were 60-65 so i put the 60mm back on. then put the 80mm under the power to cool that down. (its helped a lot its cooler now)

any one got any more idea?

[clocker]

I&#39;m a bit surprised.
I&#39;ve used the 80mm fan and adaptor on three of the machines that I&#39;ve built and it&#39;s always worked like a charm.
One extra step that I&#39;ve taken that you may not have, is to instal SpeedFan and throttle down the speed of the fan.

I think that, if run at full speed, the 80mm gets strangled by backpressure/turbulance and doesn&#39;t perform up to it&#39;s potential.
