to reduce CPU temp

hey guys i want to further lower my CPU temps.
currently i'm using a scythe ninja with a nexus fan and a 1500rpm 120mm Adda fan for exhaust, would it be a better upgrade to the 9700 by Zalman or to exchange my intake/exhaust fans to 2 x Delta 120x38mm fans runnig at 3000rpm controlled by a rheobus?

UPDATE: ordered sunbeam rheobus, 2 x delta 120.38mm @ 3200rpm.
assuming money isn't really a factor, how much of an upgrade would a tuniq tower be on top of a scythe ninja w/ nexus @ 1000rpm?

currently i'm idling @ 37-38C w/ room temp @ 72F
 
Hi,

We need to know all the relevant temperature to answer that question:

Air Inlet Temperature
Internal Air Temp around CPU cooler
Exhaust Air Temp.

Watercool.

According to your previous post on this forum where you and i fought, you have the most uberest wireing, as well as the most perfect airflow so your at the limit on what you can do with AIR.

Or have you realized you were wrong ?

But i will give u one bit of advice, going from scythe ninja -> 9700 isnt an upgrade... its more of a sideways shift to the left or right. The Zalman wont cool noticibly better to reason for its rediculous price.

what do those temps have to do with replacing a cpu cooler/case fans

Comments you made a very very long time ago.. roughly 4-6 months... i was away from the forums for 3 months...

And the temps he's asking for is to measure how close your inside temps are to the outside ambient temps. These are usually very important in advising airflow. If your inside case is within 1-3C of the outside ambient temps, your not going to get your CPU any cooler by replacing it with any type of AIR HSF. Nor are you going to get any better temps inside by replacing the fans.

If the case i just described fits your conditions, then the only way i can see of making your rig cooler is to Watercool, or fix some sort of perm. Air conditioner in the front so the air it takes is colder.
 
thanks for the comments about the ambient temps, i'll take some measurements when i have time, and find a thermometer...

yea.. i still have no idea what argument you're talking about lol.
 
I hope you're not sensitive to noise, those Deltas are gonna be louder than anything in your case even at the lowest settings. I doubt they'll even start at less than 1500 rpm.

And why would you even want to lower your idle temp below 37° C? That's actually very low, it is the body temp of a human (to give you a reference how much it is in fahrenheit).

As to why you should post all those other tmeps, they're all related. A higher CPU temp ( e.g. due to oc'ing) will lead to higher case temps and thus higher exhaust temps.

And of course, if you want to know what's gonna be more of an upgrade, the CPU cooler or the case fans we need data to find out where the larger bottleneck is. If your case temps are higher than average then upgrading your case fans is a good option, but so far you've only told us your idle CPU temps.

Also, the zalman is no upgrade, a Scythe Infity or Tuniq Tower would be, but again, there's absolutely no reason why you'd need to upgrade, if you've got money to blow get another gig of RAM, that's gonna be more of an upgrade than the extra OC potential you get from a 3°C lower idle temp.

lol double post of exactly what i said. 😛 sideways shift then an upgrade. and its pointless because its not going to get him any better temps.

Get watercooling, or find a micro air conditioner and strap that to the front of your computer. You'll get VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY low temps that way 😛
 
Man I have a X2 4200 @ 2600 and am running the stock fan/heatsink. And I am at 32c idle. Sucks that you spent all that money and are at 37. Maybe get a retail heatsink?

your idle temp has nothing to do with mine. we're in different areas therefore different ambient temperatures. your room temp can be 68F my room temp can be 80F. that will make a huge different in computer temperatures.
