ducting system for a p4 775 socket

[tm37]

This fan?
The one I am thinking about

I have a P4 3.4 on an intel d915BPL board

It is in an antec SX1040BII case with a windowed side panel (with fan).

Due to where the latch on the side panel is I can not run a straight duct even if I cut a hole in the side

MB Temps seem to be fine 39C

So I want to get a duct to run fresh air directly to the CPU but none of them look like they will work with the stock intel fan.

any ideas and when WOuld I look to get this?

What about this
Hope that helps
Link should work

How about using a dryer exhaust duct for that purpose. It's flexable and pretty afforable. You would just have to rig a mounting which could evan be zip ties or something else cheap and easy to use. Good Luck.

This lookes like the CPU Cooler I have

They don't show my cooler

and I just tried do a DVD shink and the CPU maxed out on usuage AND I hit 80C.

I stopped it

For your CPU:
- Buy and mount the most efficient HS/Fan cooler that will fit in your case.

For your case:
- Remove the intake filter to maximize possible flow-through ventilation.
- Install a front intake fan to increase flow-though ventilation (Two intake fans better).

The overall intent is to:
- Efficiently extract heat from your CPU.
- Force the hot air from the case by replacing it with cooler ambient room air.
- Reduce internal case air temp for the health of all mobo components.

Noise will go up - but cooling will be much improved.

Ducts may improve heat extraction from your CPU, but they may actually increase internal case air temperature by hindering flow-through air volume.

Hope this helps!

MB is fine at 39c?
I think not.
My motherboard is at 27c, hits at most 30c.
You seem to have either very high ambient temperatures, or very poor case airflow.
If it's high ambient temps (25c+) then you won't be able to get temps down a huge amount, even with fresher air.
If it's airflow, look to re-route power cables so they are out of the way, or think about fitting some more general case fans.

I have all the fan slots loaded up.

anyone have any reommendations for a new case?

Black?

I edited my post while you were posting.

I can't recommend anything for Intel processors - I'm an AMD guy, and I don't pay attention to coolers for Intel processors.

My advice was meant to be general and generic - though I do have an older Antec mini-tower with 2 fans extracting at rear and 2 fans sucking in at the front of the case.

The heatsinks with the lowest thermal resistance out there right now is the Thermalright XP90 and XP120. The XP90 can fit in the majority of computers out there right now; if you want the 120 you need to make sure it will clear your mobo components and the PSU.

Also, if you got one of those PSUs with a dinky 80mm eggbeater fan (or two), they don't vent very well at all. You want a PSU with a 120mm fan to help with the case ventilation. I used to have a Thermaltake Not-So-Silent Purepower 420 (two 80mm fans) and my case temps were always treed up at around 38C. Switching to a Seasonic Super Tornado dropped my case temps down to 31C.

HTH.

It is almost certainly throttling. Run throttlewatch and you'll see.

Intel specs a 38C or lower case temp I believe, for those processors.

Are you using the stock TIM pad? You might try some AS instead.

I am using AS and the stock HS/FAN

I am going to pull this system and Takes pictures as well as try and REseat the HS fan

Can not seem to get the fan back on the clips will not lock.

I am going to buy a new fan, and I am looking at the ducting system.
