Hi yall,
I just built a new system with a P4 2.80C CPU and I got a Thermalright SLK-900-U heatsink with a 92mm Vantec Tornado fan. I am currently running the system at around 31-33C idle and under gaming loads, I peak at around 41C. I personally feel that those temps are on the good side, especially considering the airflow it doesnt recieve since I have installed it in my desk compartment and closed the door since it is so loud of a fan.
My question is this, because my fan is so darn loud, I am either going to get a fan controller or a slower, not so loud fan. If I get the fan controller, what tempature should be an average 2.80 800FSB temp at idle, and what should be the average under gaming loads. Also, what should be the extreme temp that I should encounter?
