Need Sugestions On A New CPU Cooler.

[LasombraB]

I need/want a new CPU cooler for my system. I would prefer it to blow air onto the motherboard to help with NorthBridge cooling. And it needs to be compatible with my A8N32-Sli motheboard.

XP-90 with NMB or Delta.

Thermalright Si-120 and fan of your choice over 70 cfm.

Operandi, that NMB could be used but only as a suction fan. Why ? Because it has a hub
mounted thermistor and when it gets to 95F the fan ramps up to about 60+cfm

The thermistor can be solder jumped and the fan put on a controller. It will start/run at
less than 4V, iirc. I bought a couple of them to play with by installing thermistors on extended
leads. They have not been modded as of yet.

Yeah, I've installed one on an XP-90 as an exhaust. From a cold boot it starts at around 1600RPM and as temp rises it increases but only to about 1900-2000RPM. I didn?t try turning it around (intake) to blow into the heatsink but in theory it should run slower.

This was on a S939 A64 3700+.
