Hi guys
well summers nearlly here,and with my new core i5 and radeon HD6790 running my games i need to re-evaluate my cooling,especially my cpu
i have a coolermaster TX3 cooler which was originally used with my old pentium E5700,and since it supports socket 1155 would this be ok for cooling my core i5 3330 ?
im also considering digging out my old arctic cooling Accelero L2 PLUS which supports the HD6790 and must be better than the stock cooler that came with it ( vtx3d ) ..... from experience arctic cooling gpu coolers are some of the best and relatively cheap,however all i need to do is purchase some new ramsinks and screws
however im about to buy a new case to replace my NZXT M59 and i have chosen the "Zalman Z3 Plus Black Mid Tower Case "
this has 2 front 120mm fans,1 x rear fan (120mm ) and 2 top mounted fans ( 120mm ) ... and allthough zalman have mounted them with the front as intake and the remaining as exhuast i need to know if theres any better way to configure the fans
would two intake fans be enough ? ... and has anyone used zalman fans before,if so how quiet are they ?
i still have my old "cool it eco alc" closed loop water cooler ... would this be worth resurecting and use instead of a air based cooler ( like the coolermaster TX3 )
any help is much appreciated
cheers guys !
