Have a Thermaltake cpu cooler that has an 8cm SilentCat fan on it and idle temp is around 31-34c
When working temp can rise to 55c.
Using uGuru to control fan speed seems to do the job and the heatsink stays cold enough to touch.
Have thought about using a Cooler Master SAF-B83(ball bearing)8cm fan(input current:0.15A, speed:2500rpm, 32.11 CFM,
noise(at full)26 dB, input power:1.80W )
Present fan Thermaltake SilentCat, input current:0.14, speed 2500 rpm, noise at full: 21 dB, 31.77CFM.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
