XP-120 54c Temps :(

I've got a Winchester 3000+ 1.6v @ 2.5Ghz under my XP-120 and a Vantec stealth for a fan.

What kind of temps are other people getting with an XP-120?

Silent fan recomendations?
 
What is your ambient temps? The reason I am asking is that that can play a big role in your temps. Also you might wanna scale back the O/C a bit. But mid 50s are fine. Once you get high 50s then scale back.
 
The Vantec Stealth doesn't push a whole lot of air. Maybe look into a Panaflo L1A. I know folks will also recommend Yate Loons and Nexus.
 
Board
28c Ambent

CPU
54c Max
42c Idle

Super Lanboy case with stock front and rear 120mm
Fortran blue storm power supply with 120mm
 
I'd recommend a Sanyo Denki fan in the 120mmx38mm variety. They're rated for 105cfm@37db. At full blast they are a little loud , although nothing like a Delta, but if you hook it up to the mobo header than it shouldn't be too bad. I'm using the same fan on my XP-120 and I get idle temps of 29C, load 38C at 1.4V. At 1.55V I get load temps in the low 40s. Ambient temps are generally 31C.

whats the fan model number? im very interested but i kinda dont think the dba is accurate since my panaflo m1a is 86cfm/35.5dba

i have a sunon thats like 108cfm but at 42dba

unless these sanyos > panaflo

 
Is your Panaflo the 38mm thick jobber? I know the 25mm thick fans need a lot of rpm to get over a 100cfm but the thicker ones aren't too loud at that point. Here is a link to the fan. I guess it's 39db not 37.

2.9m3/min = ~103cfm
 
i got a panaflo high speed on mine, but i use q-fan to lower the speed, it runs at about 900rpm idle and 1200 rpm load, not loud at all really.
idle temps w/ qfan = 32C
load temps w/ qfan= 41C

on full blast 2500rpm
idle temps = 31C
load temps= 39C

Since the Panaflo is a two-wire fan without a rotation sensor, where are you reading your RPM figures? Better yet, how is it possible for you to read them anywhere? Has the A8N-SLI given you any trouble at POST using a CPU fan without a rotation sensor? Did you have to make any BIOS changes because of using the Panaflo that lacks a rotation sensor?
