What are your temps??? If they arent to high, you shouldnt change the heatsink.

[nbaptista007]

Where can I see the temperatures?I´ve got the Everest,but I don´t know how to see it!

[AzN]

Board temperature : 42ºC

[AzN]

[nbaptista007]

I don´t understand:it is Campo Valor
Processador 43 °C (109 °F)

[AzN]

Wtf??? French??? DId you d/l speedfan??? If your proc is 43 load, you dont have to worry. But if its 43 idle, your in trouble....

your motherboard temps is high, and the RPM showing it spinning around 843RPM!
You should check your HSF fans, and change it if it already spoilt......

[nbaptista007]

You should check your HSF fans
What is it HSF?

[PCgeek]

HSF is HeatSink Fan. We want to know if the CPU is at 43C when the CPU usage is low (idle) or when the CPU usage is on or near 100% (load).

I dont think 43 degrees is a issue whether it was on load or idle. The motherboard temperature worries me. It should be lower than the CPU.......
And the RPM spun at 800+rpm, which is TOO low compared to other northbridge fans which normally spun at 2000-4000rpm!

What can I do?Buy a better cooler?~

Nooooooooooooooooooo. Get the Cooler Master Hyper 6+. A Very very very very good heatsink.

LOL, he'd better go for chipset cooler first, the CPU temps look normal for me!

chipset cooler first?Can I get a new fan for it?

You can browse and ask around for it, but i'd reckon the Vantec will do a great job, with copper heatsink and stuff.........

[bluegreenshxt]

Chipset temps aren't that bad, especially for a passive chipset heatsink. My DFI runs in it's 40's on idle.

[nbaptista007]

OK there it is . I´ve bought the Zalman b-ALCU cooler,for overclocking.I hope I´ve done the right choice!

[AzN]

Shoulda gotten the 7700 or the hyper 6+

[nbaptista007]

And now I need two fans for my Chieftec :D

[nbaptista007]

What is the best size of the Fans?80mm,92 mm or 120mm?The fans I want is Noiseblocker!
