suprisingly good

[doc18]

you wouldnt know how much a difference the fan can make til you change it out. before i just had a 92mm LED case fan slapped on the sp-94. idle temps around ~47-49, load around ~57. so figured might as well see if a fan made a diff. went around looking for reviews on diff fans. thought about a delta or tornado, but i knew i didnt want something uber loud. and since i have a window... i wanted a pretty fan. looked around and found this

read good things about it and tried it out. i set it on to be controlled by the fan controller and set it out on max, finding the best placement and compromise between noise and temp. cpu idled at 44/45. read up on it a little more and took that front grille off it, and brought it down 2 more degrees. :-) idling at 42/43 (gonna have to try it at load)

tell you what, $20 sure went a long ways :-)
