I just installed my new ThermalRight heatsink. I got a SI-128. Long story, order for another was placed, out of stock blah blah, I got this one: Thermalright SI-128 for AMD? Athlon?64, FX / X2 and Opteron? or Intel Socket 775

Now my Idle temps and load temps are under 60C! My poor quad core was reaching around 70C, so I had to do something.

Well, here is the problem. I have one 120mm intake, one 80mm side vent intake, one 120mm exhaust that is practicaly touching the heatsink. I would think some conflict would arise there in the airflow area...

I am going to get 2 new 120mm fans, Tek-Chain_120mm_Quiet_Fan, my fan barely moves air. How can I make the airflow better? I am thinking a partial duct so my exhaust fan pulls air from under the heatsink.

The case is a TT Soprano. Dang cases look huge untill you start farfing around in them!

i think you got the air flow in the right direction

that is the right way



seams to me that your HS is not so good or you're way to much overclock for air use or pulling to much voltage to the cpu? , maybe time for water cooling?
