Re: Making a CPU duct to draw outside air onto CPU!

The CPU is an X2 5600+, 2.8GHz with stock cooler and goo! Didn't go for the 6000+ due to the mem controller/ram frequency issue that runs the RAM at lower than spec with certain CPU speeds and dividers.

Case is a Songcheer wide case, 9" wide x 17" high x 17" long and looks a bit like your piccy of 'bad case' design I have already cut two 80mm holes in the side of the case and have 2 fans blowing out, although I had to remove 1 fan due to the duct. 2 x 80mm fans at rear, 1 blowing down the duct and 1 exhausting, 1 x 80mm inlet and 1 x 120mm hung under HDD bay blowing into case and 1 x 120mm fan strapped onto the heatsink of my GPU.
Speed fan is reporting core as 40°C idle.

Power supply ordered from Aria.co.uk, although they are out of stock again but www.overclockers.co.uk have them in stock for £130 inc vat!

Still not sure which way to jump for a CPU Cooler then I saw the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and thought 'Nice', then I saw the price and thought 'F**K OFF'!!
