Here's my setup:
Q9550 @ 3.4Ghz (1.25V in BIOS)
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
8GB G.Skill DDR2-1066 @ 960Mhz 5-5-5-15
Sapphire Radeon HD4870 1G [stock speeds]
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB Hard drive
Antec Solo Plus 550 case.
I have the Antec TriCool 120mm fan on low exhausting and a Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283 with the fan pointing towards the exhaust. The system is extremely quiet.
My idle temps are 38-40C and load 58-61C. If I remove the side of the case, the load temps drop to 53-55C. Ambient is around 80F. Hard drive temp is 41C.
The case has spots for 2 92mm intake fans. How do you guys think I can improve the temps without adding too much noise?
Thanks.
