How much does adding a 2nd fan to 212+ help?

Which fans do you have? With the current single fan setup @ 4.3Ghz I max out at 54C running Prime95. Idle is about 28C.

I'm more concerned about noise I guess... If I were to get a 800 RPM fan would having 2 make sense then? Edit: Looking at these: http://www.koolertek.com/computer-parts/pc/Noctua-NF-S12-800-120mm-Fan-800-RPM-184p1185.htm...

How much does adding a 2nd fan to 212+ help?

I have a Coolermaster 212+ with the stock 120mm fan on my 2500-k. I'm thinking of replacing the stock fan with 2 new fans (any suggestions on good QUIET fans would be appreciated), and wondering how much difference it would make? Anyone notice much difference if you added a 2nd fan?

best deal on a 64GB to 128GB SSD?

I bought the 128GB Corsair Nova refurb at microcenter for the same price. They allowed me to get the 2 year warranty for $20. It's been flawless so far.

New 2500k build.

In the winter it's been no more than 68F. Had our first warm day yesterday and it looked like temps went up slightly, but not too bad. I made 2 lines on the heatsink. First, I used a plastic card to fill in the gaps between the pipes, wiped off the excess, then put the 2 lines on.

New 2500k build.

I've used RealTemp for the most part. I idle around 25-27 C and max out at 51C @ 4.2Ghz on my 2500K with Hyper 212+ and AS5.

Manual vs offset voltage

really strange how the offset can vary so much from chip to chip!

which asus p8p67 for me?

I had the P8P67 and I had some issues with the LAN connection. The Pro and up have Intel LAN whereas the vanilla has a realtek. It would randomly drop the connection and I would have to repair the connection for it to come back on line. Since moving to the sabertooth I've had no such issues...

Manual vs offset voltage

Thats the problem with setting the voltage manually, it doesn't change at all when it idles/downclocks. If I use "offset" it does, but I haven't seen a real clear indication what offset actually means. I have it giving the desired result I want (1.2V), but I really have no idea how it does it...

Manual vs offset voltage

Fellow SB'ers, which setting are you using to set your vcore? I found that if I used manual that when the cpu would clock down to 1600 mhz, the voltage did not go down with it. If i used offset, it would lower the voltage on idle. Some observations I've seen when using offset: If I set...

Aftermarket Cooler for Radeon 6950 2gb?

I had posted earlier asking the same thing. More importantly, does anyone know if Visiontek will void the warranty if you have an aftermarket cooler installed?

Has Microcenter replaced ANYONE's Asus P67 Recalled Board?

I wanted to change my P8P67 (which I paid the same price as you, $120) to the Sabertooth. I went and talked to the manager in the parts area and explained that I would like the same $40 discount since I bought a cpu/mobo bundle in January and they were able to honor the price. I was able to...
