Building a PC for a m8, decided on a mobile 24/25/2600 (stepping dependant at time of purchase), NF7 and SP97. Will 43cfm (from a panaflo L1A 92mm) be enough to give sub 50/55 load temps @ say 2.4-5ghz on 1.8v (which seems to be what most of the M's do IIRC) ? Or will a beefier fan be required? Noise IS an issue and 27dB is ideal... Cant find any other fans which offer more CFM and ~ this nosie level
you will be hard to push the cfm/db rating of a panaflow....papst perhaps but i doubt it...easiest way is to build it and see how it goes...always depends on the case/psu and other heat sources....
I'm not sure how much help this might be, but for a barely related comparison, I'm running a 2500+ (not mobile) @ 2.2GHz with a Thermalright SLK-900A and a 92mm Panaflow H1A (56.8 CFM @ 35 db). My idle temps are around 44C and my load temps don't go above ~52-53. But like flix said, it's gonna depend on the case and other hardware. I have a lian li pc60 with no top blowhole, 2 crap 80mm led fans for intake and 2 for exhaust. I'm sure that if I had better fans and perhaps a blowhole I could get my temps lower. My case temp is about 33c idle and 37C load. But at this point it works so I'm not worried about it.
KK, well we'll have to suck it and see! Bro gets ~46 load, 2.2gz 1.6v w/SLK 947U and L1A with ~33case so it should be do-able. If not theres a 80mm torndao on standby
I think as long as there is a reasonable airflow through the case everything would be fine. Using a couple of 80mm intakes and a couple for exhaust all 7volted. (no noise, good airflow)
