I'm returning the sunbeam CCF

If your bothered by noise id suggest a cheap fan controller for the sharkoon, itll cool great but itll be loud.

Yeah, I wanna get a pci slot fan controller just like the one that came with the
CCF. I did enquire about one when I spoke to steve of OC this morning but they don't do pci slot ones.
 
I used one of theese to control 5 silent eagle 2000's.

Coupled with a few y splitters it was a nice cheap option, certainly helped with noise.

That looks pretty neat actually. Might be worth me investing in that or similar to control both the sharkoon and the akasa neo gpu cooler if I ever get around to to installing it, lol.

What do you reckon my temps should drop to with the 120 ultra and sharkoon, based on an orthos test I'm currently running with stock cooler? It's maxed out now at 58c cpu and 40 core. That's with side cover and side fan off, forgot to replace it. But it was about the same with the cover on.
 
I havent ever ran an athlon system but with 2 sharks and a TRUE i knocked about 11c of my q6600, though that cpu and the cooler were both lapped as well. Youll definitely get a good decrease though.

If I don't get a 10c drop on core and a 10c drop on cpu, I'll feel cheated, lol. Or is that expecting too much?
 
That is one of the great mysteries:D, but the TRUE will be a vast improvement over the stock cooler.:)

Oh yeah, it will definitely be better. Ok, well based on what I've read, a push pull, ie, 2 fans like you've got, gives approx 2c drop in temp. Then you've lapped it which might give another 1 to 2c drop. So, in theory, I might be looking at about a max of 7c drop compared to your 11c drop. But we'll have to just see :D
 
I no longer use the 2000 rpm sharks on the cooler (sold rig in my sig) when i moved to the q9550 i switched over to sharkoon silent eagle se modular cable fans, theese have different cables that can be interchanged to allow them to run at lower voltages or via pwm, as the q9550 ran a lot cooler i didnt need the extrme cooling of the 2000 rpm fans, i ran the se models via pwm, 400-1200 rpm, good fans as well but rather expensive at £13.00 each. May have to dig out the 2000 rpm beasts again though when i get my i7 rig up and running.
