JoyPadJedi · 31 Mar 2007 at 22:23

Currently:

Lian-Li PC7+ w/ stock 2 x 120mm intake exit fans
AcoustiFan Quiet 80mm top exhaust fan
AMD X2 4400 stock CPU cooler

New setup for totally new Intel Conroe build coming soon:

Scythe Ninja rev.B
2 x Noctua 120mm 1200rpm intake/exit fans
Lose the top fan

Recommended for OC'ing an e6600 on a DS3? Tell me I'm good!

Knew that really, just wanted to hear it said

One question - considering the new spec will be e6600 / DS3P with 8800GTS/X, should I go for the 800 or 1200 rpm Noctuas? Thanks!

id go for the 1200's

im using a Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM on front sucking in and a 105 cfm YS-TECH FD1225 120mm on the back blowing out

Go for it, that's a damn nice setup!

That'll be great for OCing your chip. I'm on the Tuniq Tower and going strong!

I'm getting rid of my Ninja as soon as the new thermalright coolers are out.. i'm getting pretty poor performance, the contact just isn't good enough on the CPU.

Have you tried lapping it?

Interesting - what's your MB/CPU?
