Hi Guys, I'm new to these forums. I came to this forums while seeing it in custom pc mag. Here is my pc build: Intel Core i5-750(Stock Cooler) Asus P7P55-M CM Elite-310(Noob Case) Gigabyte Geforce GTS 250 4GB RAM 2x320GB WD HDD 1xLG ODD CM Silentpro 700W I'm experiencing some heat problems as my cpu is 52-55c when idle and around 65c at load Can someone recommend some cheap n good CPU Coolers to me? Reminder: As I am using a noob Elite-310 case,I really don't know which cooler is good and can fit in my case. Any Help Is Appreciated Thanks!
Also the Akasa Freedom tower and the Akasa Nero S are both capable coolers also remeber to use good thermal paste as that can help shave few degrees
Titan fenrir 100% - Make sure it's the v2 version or xmas version to have the 1156 bracket. I'm currently waiting for the Evo version to upgrade from the artic rev2
All around the same price of £30-35. 700w is more than enough, just make sure its good quality so you get stable power delivery and modular is better for tidyness etc
I use a Gelid Tranquillo on my i5-750 (very quiet). Idle temps 22 - 24C. That said, Titan Fenrir is also a very good cooler. You might want to look at your airflow plan? Some food for thought here.
LOL. Titan Fenrir all the way, freezer pro 7 if you need to save pennies. Do we all read the same magazines or something??
another things to ask is that my elite 310 case only support 1 rear,front and 2 side fans so how should i place my fans in order to get the best cooling solution of my case
Chimeradog - see the link in my previous post for some ideas/guidelines. The general rule is: front to back - bottom to top, (i.e. intake from front at the bottom, exhaust from back at the top).
seanbean i saw the link and figure it out this way since my case hase no top fans available im thinking of using the front n side bottom fan to blow in air and the rear and upperside an to exhaust the heat is the setup this way better this way?
guys would a cm hyper212+ fit in my case as well? by the way in custom pc issue 77 it shows that my P7P55-M is not quite a good overclocking motherboard can some1 recommend me some good n cheap asus overclocking motherboard im planning to overclock my i5 when i buy my cooler......if im using stock cooler...how much can i oc?
