HSF Questions


Recommended Posts

currently i'm startin to oc my comp, ive only gone to 1335mhz from 1200mhz, my cpu is running at 38c and my case at 29c idle after the 15 minute mark, but i plan to go higher in the near future. Currently i'm using a Dragon Orb 3 to cool my cpu, but i'm wondering if i should go with a new one such as a volcano 7 plus, i'm wondering if anyone here uses ducts to remove the heat directly from the cpu, theres no real point in me doing this rite now because my dragon orb fan just spits the air in all directions it seems away from it and i cant really tell where its taking air in, but i'm thinking if i duct with a volcano 7 or similar hsf and ducting would that help the temperatures stay in the 30's when i oc more

the best heatsink today is the thermalright AX-7 with a 80mm fan, great for overclocking (but are you really getting any extra performance? is it worth it given the coast of a better heatsink) Just some thoughts
