Zalman 9500 owns Thermalright XP90C on Intel 670J

[AWPC]

Just upgraded as XP90c was not doing the business on my new mobo and the Zalman is much better.

I have 6 silent low speed case fans.

Temps are 52C idle vs 60C.
Under full load 63C vs 72C.

Amazing results as the 9500 is almost as good under full load as the xp90c is @ idle!

Zalman fan is also very quiet even @ full rpm of 2400. XP90c even with a 120mm fan instead of the 92mm just does not perform as well as the Zalman as the design of it means that hot air is blown around the case whereas the 9500 design blows it directly out the back or into the rear exhaust fans.

That's ultra hot. Mine's at "37C" full load at 272*15. I'm tempted not to believe this though as it seems quite low. The PWM shows 65C so I don't know if the sensors are the wrong way round of what. Either way those idle temps are double mine.

Only have 6 low speed case fans so as not to hear the noise. If I adjust them from silent then the temps drop quite a bit. All P4 temp sensors seem to either over or under state the temps by up to 10c!
