QX9650 cooling?

Fizzy002 · 13 Jun 2008 at 10:26

Hi.
Can anyone recommend me the best air-cooling solution for the QX9650? I have the Zalman CNPS9700-NT at the moment, it performs reasonably well but is a little inconsistent. My cpu is currently overclocked to 3.6Ghz and temps range from 38c-45c when idling although this could be down to humidity in my room. Intensive loads it has gone close to 60c, I would just like something which would bring the temps down a little and perform more consistently.

If someone could also recommend me a powerful intake fan, that would be a great help!

Thanks.

plenty of threads about this, so do some research.

What case do you have? It's no use recommending a "more powerful intake fan" if we don't know where it's going to go!

And 60c is nothing to worry about, especially at 3.6GHz.

I have the Antec P182. I know 60c isn't really much to worry about but just want it bring it down a little.
