What fan should i use with an SI-97? I have a 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ and want to keep the temps <45C at full load (lower than that is better of course). I have been considering a Panaflo U1A and a Vantec Tornado (both 92mm). Thanks in advance for suggestions.
 
Well if you're into quietness but lots of airflow go with the Enermax UC-9FAB. They're adjustable speed fans and I have one on my SP-97 on a 2800 @ 2.4ghz @ 1.75v. Idle is 32C and load is 40C and fan is at 3/4 speed. It's very quiet and pushes out plenty of air.
 
i was running a 58cfm ystech 92mm fan on my old SI-97 and it kept my desktop barton at 38C idle at 1.85V...the fan keeps my current set up at 35C idle...system temps were/are 28C...
 
why 45C under load? Mine runs stable at 65C under load and ive never had any issues.. I run my fans all on low most of the time and my case is insulated. I have the 57CFM panaflow 92mm Medium. Even it makes a good amount of noise at full speed. If you get a tornado I suggest getting some sort of fan control.. those things are Extremely loud.. I had one a while back on an AX7.. didnt cool near as good as this setup.
 
I'm using the 80mm tornado a friend gave me that I slapped onto the cheapest HSF I could find, and I love it to death. I have it hooked up to a Vantec Nexus controller and normally have it at low speed, and turn it up for gaming when I won't notice the noise (It's not that bad, I spent 2 months sleeping in the same room as this thing). I wouldn't trade it for any other fan. It keeps my overclocked 2500+ mobile running at 29 idle and it never leaves the mid 30s at full load.
 
<45C because i don't like coming home from school to a room that is a million degrees. I guess it's just for comfort reasons.
