What are "ok" idle and load temps for a Q9450? Reason I ask is I had this in a Lian Li A05B but the fans were loud, cramped...just didnt like it. So after seeing my nephews HAF 912 I bought on, and 3 S-FLEX SFF21D's. I used one in the front(need 1 more for the HD's), one on the back, and I used the other to replace the fan on my Tuniq Tower. All are running at 12v, they are rated at 800rpm but AIDA(Everest) says 840 to 860 some.

 
If those are your load temps in that screen shot your doing fine.
 
definately not load temps. thats idle. I just looked at the fan that came with the Tuniq. Its a scythe fan DFS122512L....their site says 1200rpm 45cfm. the SFF21D is 800rpm 33cfm. I guess ill just test it and see what loads it gets for 15 minutes.
 
Those are normal/great idle temps, base on my exp. w/ an overclocked q9550
 
Actually, I'd look more at your hard drive temps...both over 40C...this ok, but not optimum.
 
that'll be fixed in the next day or two. I have 2 more fans coming. they should be fine til then.
 
what case do you have? also what cooler do you have on the cpu? you airflow is messed up.
