I have a blackbird 002 with the 2x120 rad. Im looking at upgrading the fans and the thermal paste to support a higher overclock, currently my cpu is a core2quad q9450 @3.2 and my core temps are all a little different at idle as well at load.
currently at idle c1=50c c2=48c c3=45c and c4= 46c , after running prime 95 for 1 hour my temps are c1=60c c2=55c c3=55c and c4=57c
My main questions are, what would be a good choice in thermal paste and what fan's should i go with? I am a little confused after reading a couple ppl saying that cfm is not as important as static pressure from the fans, also i mostly game with my headphones on but at the same time i dont want my case sounding like a vacuum cleaner
thanks for the help
