@ lonewolf the first fan doesnt realy seem like it can handle 3.8 ghz. also, u can always buy ur items from TigerDirect.ca (if its higher than $100 u get free shipping). also, i want my cpu temps to stay bellow 60C with full load. thanks for responses
I don't think anyone can guarantee you that you'll stay under 60C at 3.8Ghz with a fully loaded Q9550 because for starters CPU's are not all equal and some demand more voltage than others.
I'm currently using the Vendetta on this PC which has a Q9550 @ 3.5Ghz and under full load my hottest core is 62C and the other three are in the mid 50C range as read from the cores by RealTemp.
This is the temp readings as given by the DFI monitoring utility that comes with the board..........
Voltage required to stay stable for this CPU is 1.31V
On a previous motherboard this same CPU required 1.36V to remain stable.
I can improve these temps with the Thermalright Ultra 120 that I also gave you a link to.
I know we have Tiger Direct but they are last on my list of preferred Canadian vendors.
Best prices for us are generally NCIX or Direct Canada alternating between first and second place depending on product and promotions at the time, then Best Direct and Canada Computer.
