Default Any suggestions for my cooling

is there anything i can do to make my cooling system better w/out going to water cooling?

i have 4 80mm fans w/ blue LED's of course...a TT active memory cooling device and the stock fan that came with my proc.

what about the new heatpipe proc coolers... they look cool but are they worth it?

cut a 120mm blowhole on the side of your case
add the evercool 120mm or the panaflo 120mm low

ull be amazed at how quiet it is after a 5 volt mod for the evercool and how much temp has dropped

bah.. had a big post typed and it uffed.. oh well...

i have an adjustable fan and it's worth it to me because I get the least amount of noise needed to get the job done at any moment....

I don't have any recommendations because I am not in the market and therefore haven't done any research. Zalman is tried and true in the quiet market.. look at www.coolerguys.com for a good selection
