Merry belated Christmas all. I have two questions that I am in need of assistance with. I'm new to this OC'ing business and just had a successful OC. The problem is, my temps are much higher than I want them to be (54 degrees Celsius). Basically my first question is what do you guys think I should do to add some extra/better cooling for the CPU and case? I have an Alpha PAL6035 w/Sanyo Denki 60mm fan. I guess its an adequate HSF, but would anyone recommend something better? since its obviously not powerful enough to handle my CPU temps. What do you guys think about the dual HSF's? they would fit on my mobo (ASUS A7V), but I don't know if they would help much more.
My next question is, I just bought some Panaflo P80L1A fans, why? I don't know, they were on sale for cheap. Well, I was wondering how I would connect these or any other extra fan I might buy to the mobo? As far as I can see there is only one 3 pin plug to PWR the FAN. Is there some kind of connector that connects multiple fans together to share one plug? I also see plugs for CPU_FAN and F_FAN, but I don't know if I could use those or not. And btw, Quiter fans preferred. Thats why I got the Sanyo Denki fan instead of the YS Tech.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
