i7 CPU Cooler Suggestions

If you look at my pics above (post 66), in the top pic youll see my front cooler fan, the rear fans face should be mounted so that it too is facing the front of the case., ie the blue and black sticker side on my rear fan is facing the rear side of the cooler.

Thank you Setter.

I've got all the parts now. Will be installing VX and Apache fans tomorrow. After that - overclocking time! :cool:
 
I have installed my VX and 2 x Apache PWM fans, but I'm not sure where should I connect the second PWM fan on my motheboard. I connected the first one into CPU_FAN header, but I get CPU Fan Error! when booting up PC. I went to BIOS and saw that when the 1st fan is on low rpm it gets red in BIOS, so I choose to ignore it and error went away. But I'm not sure where to connect the second one, do I need an adaptor cable to connect both to CPU_FAN header?

At the moment second one (the one in back of cooler) is connect as chasis fan, but it's on 100% (1360 rpm) all the time. I does not bother me that much, as it is still very quiet (BTW those fans are amazing), but I want to have all properly connected bofore putting my case back together.

Temps are unbelivable TBH. I get as low as 7 degreed on idle (avarage about 10-15*) and max I've seen after running Prime95's torture test for 10 min was 41* :eek: Note: my CPU is still on stock speed. Is 7 degrees safe?

Glad to see the good temps....

I never use the cpu fan header tbh i always use the chassis ones.

I can only find one chasis header on my mobo (asus p7p55d), but as I said there is no PWM control on chasis header, which means the fan is on 100% rpm all the time.
