Hi all I am upgrading my current PC ( 2 year old) from e6700 CPU to Q9300 or something in that quad core line and my asus p5b deluxe motherboard as well. I think I know what kind of graphic cards to get but the question is what kind of motherboard should i get if I want to keep my Crucial pc2...

Hello. I'm looking to upgrade my RAM. I have Asus P5b Deluxe. Last time I bought G-Skill, didn't post so I RMAed. I hear only good things about Corsairs so I would prefer getting Corsairs but if there's better buys than Corsair(price/performance) ,please let me know. Thank you

I think i'm going to buy it given that it's at least better than Scythe Mine I have now. Don't know if it's better than Ninja tho.

I'm loving my e6600 except that it's hotter than I thought(40C idle) but performance-wise, I have no complaints yet. I haven't OCed cuz it's already damn fast and will see how even faster it can get later when I finally OC it.

So which e-tailer provides with the sets? I heard there's one or two that sell mounting kits and stuff.

To OP, can you mount an extran fan to HSF?

EastCoast, I have exactly same problem. I've grown to develop some sorta phobia of heat. Mine idles around 42 or so and never went over 52 under load but I want to be able to OC soon but with this temp, I don't see a chance...I'm going to upgrade the CPU fan and see how it goes...

Hello! My e6600 with Scythe Mine Cooler is runnning hot but not only that, my mobo runs about 45C idle. My CPU is at 46C idle according to SpeedFan and 40C according to CoreTemp I just reseated the HSF but this did not help. When I booted, I went into BIos, and saw the temp around 32-33C but...

Welll the CPU runs 40 C Idle. I have e6600 with Scythe MineCooler. I just upgraded the rear fan with Thermaltake and lowered 1C lol I wanted to overclock sooner or later but before doing so, I wanted to make sure that I have safe temps to attempt to OC. Should I worry about getting a new CPU...

Well before I overclock this thing, I thought I upgrade the CPU Fan so that i don't overheat this baby. Compared to other folks here, I am in the hot zone. I never hit 59C but hit 52C before. Is Ninja Fan a good upgrade from Scythe Mine Cooler tho?

Do you know the CFMs of the stock fan in the centurion case?

Hello My centrion 5 doesn't seem to have good air flow. Only has 2 fans front and back and I don't thik the stock fans work that great. Should I just upgrade the fans and mod the case or is there a good air flowing case that's worth to buy? I'm looking around 100$ not more than 120$

Thanks for reply. Well When I first turned on PC this morning, went into Bios, and saw CPU Temp of 31C then it got higher in about 1-2 minutes to 36C. I booted up XP and checked core Temp and it showed 38C. I seriously want to change the fan and see how it does. Btw, What's the best air...

Hello all Before I upgrade my CPU fan, I thought I actually check the temp with all the software I had. And they are so off! http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1981/1ce0.jpg First of all, speedfan is showing a temp of 0 C? Umm...I can't find where Everest tells the CPU temp either. I...

So 40C idle is considered to be Hot right? I have a Scythe Mine Cooler....
