i have my intel pentium E6700 3.2 ghz overclocked by 15% (was 20% but it started to get quite hot after i installed a gtx 275 - probably air flow problem i did for a bit without any problem have it at 3.95 ghz but the temps were a bit silly...) after a few hours of p95 temps max out at 72-73 degrees intel say the max temp it can take is 75 (but i am sure they lie :whistle: )
my fan atm is http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-c [...] B000BSW9H8 and im looking to get a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835106150 (ofc not from newegg i live in england D: its too expensive to buy from newegg)

 

the case is this btw http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] subcat=505
if that fan might not fit someone tell me before i buy it <.< failing that a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 4bcdfb6630

72-75 Is pretty hot. What do you use for cooling on your Processor? Try getting a Zalman.

had to take the 275 out (i think its dieing on me :() and put the 8400 gs back in (its so slow D: ) so i slammed it back into a 20% overclock and it idles at 33 degrees p95 is still testing

Looks to me your fan is running at 100%. I had 71 degree ambient on a HP case with stock fans on a micro tower. You'll kill your card or psu at those temps. Best priced fans $20 to $30 is a zalman or cooler master 212.

Case looks fine other than the 80mm fans. 120mm is best.

it can fit 3 80 mm and 1 120 mm i have 1 80 mm fan installed on the back for extraction ad the cpu fan apparently has a top rpm of about 3 thousand or so (it dosent appear to get to 100% before what intel say is the panic temperature and i have no idea how speed fan works)
the psu also has a large fan but i dont actualy know what way thats blowing <.<
i also only ever see them temps after a few hours of p95 nothing else i have on there is that cpu intensive (a few hours of wow and its still nice and cool same with a few hours of universal centuary gundam online and that game only uses processor and its also very bad at handleing its graphics - 200 fps in the desert (repeat tiled texture of supreme crappyness) drops to 20-30 in the citys)

but i have it stuck at 15% as 20% is a little... silly <.<
