What's the normal rise in CPU/Case temps once the outside temps go up, such as in the Spring/Summer months. I just went from a Coolermaster Jet 7+ to a Zalman 7000ALcu w/ LED. I was overclocking to around 3.2 with the CM and load was around 55 - 58C, which is not bad. After installing the Z, the temps at idle are maybe a 1 to 2c increase and I attribute the rise in the fact that the fan is spinning around 2300 rpm compared to the CM which was around 3000 rpm.
I guess my question is, is the Zalman suitable for mild say 200 FSB increase overclocking? The CPU runs w/o issue at 3.2 and I really don't want to buy a 3.2, though then I could probably go to 3.4, damn, I'm so confused.
