Cooling my Opteron...

[mash]

This is what I came up with:

Scythe Ninja
Panaflo 120mm (with this)
Arctic Silver 5

I'm trying to keep it around $50...Any changes I should make before I order? I dont know if I need to upgrade the fan or not, and I know it would be much less noisy to use the stock, but would the cooling be significantly improved with the Panaflo?

Looks good but i like yate loon over panaflos

Look at my Opty in sig,

It does not go over 45C full load

You'll have to stretch the clips quite a bit to get that fan to fit on the ninja, but it's doable/ Make sure to sit the fan as far down as possible in the metal tabs (you'll see when you get it) so that the entire fan blows on the HS

PS: Ninja + Panflo

If you do get the panaflo, chances are you're not going to want to power it off a fan header, it'll probably draw too much current for a mobo header to handle..
