Cooling systems that fit RNDP600E?
Hey all, I've been reading the CPU upgrade topics and want to give my pro pioneer its maximum boost with a quad core. This will require new cooling so far I've read. I am understanding cooling soluti...
:( man its a tough battle to try to cool a 95watt TDP cpu in one of these cases then eh?
I was looking at this one by noctua
http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L12-Low-profile-Quiet-Cooler/dp/B007C861WO
But even with removing one of the fans, its still 65mm height - and this one is actually branded as a LOW profile :O
That cooler master seidon though has a rating up to 140watt TDP if I remember correctly, it had a great review on a 125watt TDP I7 even with it overclocked.
Since I can't seem to find any fan cooled solution that has a rating of at least 95 watt TDP and is also VERY low profile thanks to netgear design, it seems I'll have to push forward with the seidon. I'm not sure it needs a case mod though. If the radiator and fan is placed to blow OUT where the system fan is now, it should effectively provide enough airflow while pushing the hot air out. I am hestitant to place it in reverse, because it'll pull air in, but then the air passes over the radiator, making the air hotter that its pulling in.
If this wasn't enough to keep system temperature down, i was considering just bolting a fan to the intake above where the CPU fan would've been for the fresh cool intake air. Tiny mod to the case with just a few holes. Use the CPU fan plug for the seidon, use the system fan plug for the new fan bolted above the cpu.
Whatcha think?
