just built me a new SFF PC, within the Lian Li v300, got good wire management (can post pics) and a decent cooler (Zalman 7700 AlCU) and along with the 2 stock front 80mm intakes. I'm getting decent temps on a mildly overclocked e6300 (310 FSB) 35-37idle to 54-56 with load. I'm getting a big variance with load that I am trying to improve.
Now, I think I know where I can improve first off is with the exhaust. Since I'm using the huge 7700 HSF, I had to remove the (only) 80 mm side exhaust fan, so other than the psu (Fortron 400W), I really have no exhaust. Luckily there are mounts for 2 40mm (yuck) exhaust fans close the cpu on the rear.
So need some advice:
Can anyone suggest some good 40mm fans?
I was also thinking about mounting this guy back there http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835220002 (should fit, might need to tweak to mount)
Should I upgrade the 2 front stock 80mm fans? any (preferably quiet) suggestions?
How else could I improve airflow/drop temps?
Other specs should be in sig, Thanks in advance!
