Case/CPU Fan Cooling

I am looking to replace a few fans in my case.This is the first time I am ever going to replace a fan since this is also the first computer I have ever built. Looking to replace the 90mm case fan and the heatsink.

Right now, my computer is always between 60-70 degrees celcius. I am looking to bring the temperature down a bit.

Currently using:

ThermalTake Tsunami Dream Mid-Tower Case
Intel C2D E6600 processor at 2.4GHz
BFG GeForce 7900GS

I am looking for a new heatsink for the processor since I am currently using the heatsink that came with the processor.
Right now, I am thinking of getting the Masscool 8W553 Socket 775 Aluminum Heatsink.

I am also looking for a new 90mm fan to replace the case fan on the side of my case. Unfortunately I do not know what the model of the fan is, but I do know it is a ThermalTake fan.
The fan I am currently looking at is a Masscool 90mm Ball Bearing Case Cooling Fan.


Price is not a problem, but I am preferably looking for a cheap fan/heatsink that will work pretty good.

That is running quite hot, is that under a heavy load?

Tbh the only real difference to CPU temp will be changing the heatsink and processor fan, Casefans tend to keep the case ambient temp down but wont make a huge differnce. Just a thought but when you put in the current heat sink did you use any paste? Saying that though it usually comes pre-applied. But is always something to try!

As for the new heatsink that should certainly do the trick, atleast will be alot better than a stock heatsink!

I would recommend the Freezer 7 Pro, as I have the AM2 socket version and it performs wonderfully.

I second the Freezer 7 pro. Aerocool has some beefy paste (as in excellent) pre-applied, and it is less than $30 (at least when I bought it). Had my old intel q6600 on one of those for quite some time oc'd to 3.2 with no temperature worries.

Edit: odd, i just noticed the AM2 version, the Arctic Freezer 64 pro, is only $20

Not too surprising. Those sinks are "aged" but still most excellent!

yep, like i said, the 64 pro version is working great on my 5000+ BE OCed to 3.2-3.3GHZ with almost no increase in temp.

Yoh Weevil, when you say "No worries" what temps were you recording on max load; say if you were folding or using Prime@ And was it a G0 or B3 quad? Just really curious as at the moment I'm getting a wee bit concerned about my temps using the said Arctic Cooling H/S and it's only running at 2.9Ghz!

I never saw higher than 52C on my G0 at 3.2

That'll be it then; I'm stuck with a B3!
