Help for Fan and Heatsink in Thermaltake V5 Case

[Roakman]

I am using a Thermaltake V5 Case for my windows desktop machine and it has Phenom x2 555 which has been unlocked to tri core. I have finished up with making the new hardware and now without overclocking it shows, idle temperature from 40-42C. I guess it is bit hotter then that of an AMD 3000 939 based system which I was using before some time as it was showing some around 23C and rarely was hitting 50C. Now this case came with only 2 fans and both of them exhaust with a 20cm on top and 12cm in the rear. Though it has a space for the 12cm front and 12cm side as well so would it be better to start with it instead from the heatsink.

I suggest you to use the best cooling fan with the CPU case which you have bought. I recommend you to get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Plus. Direct Contact Heat-pipe technology, with CPU, where the heat pipes are part of the fan base and in direct contact with the CPU surface. Hyper-212 Plus is equipped with a 120mm PWM fan, in addition to which it may yet be installed afterwards a second 120mm fan (purchased separately). Hyper 212 Plus has a quiet 120mm fan 13dBA only.

Xigmatec Gaia cooler remarkable is the fact that the company has managed to squeeze into all of its improvements to the previous one priced $ 30 product. Gaia heat pipe solution is one of the most implemented, which will certainly reduce the latency. I tried to stress the CPU temperature. Rivaston cooler design is intended to guide the flow towards the center and to prevent the edges of the partial pressure drops closure. A similar solution was used Gelidin cooler, but Xigmatec radiator fan can be installed on both front and back side.

You should always keep in mind whenever you setup the cooling fan on your machine. Actually the heat sink of the fan which is very much considerable thing for keeping your machine in controlled temperatures. If there would be even a small space left for connecting the heat sink that would be leaking the heat inside your CPU case hence other surrounding hardware will get overheated soon which might result in some weird behavior of your machine.

If I would be at your place then I will never plant any LED fans on the CPU cooler which does not make it looking good thought there was some meaningful reason as well about which I don't care. As mounting the LED fans on the case would be best in all the manners. I have done in the same way on my desktop system which is running a Mac OS X. You may not like my ideas as you are a windows user and usually windows user and mac user does not have common type of choices.
