Okay experts. smile.gif

My rig:

i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz (Not overclocked yet)
Asus p8z68-v
4 GB Kingston Value Ram DDR3 1333Mhz x2
4 GB Kingston Server Value Ram ECC DDR3 1333Mhz x2 (Salvaged from my server)
Leadtek Winfast Nvidia GTX580
Coolermaster Silencio 550 Casing



Prior to this, my Processor would idle at around 44 - 45 Celsius (morning) 48- 49 Celsius (Afternoon - Night). Load could go up to 68 Celsius.

The GPU idles at around 42 Degrees and could load up to 85 Celsius.

Basically, I have made an order for the coolermaster hyper 212+ cooler, and 4 units of Artic F12 PWM fans.

On my system, i have a 'cap ayam' 2000 rpm fan, and 2 stock fans rated at 800rpm (front and back).

What sort of configuration should i go with to ensure that my casing is optimally cooled.

My idea, as helped by a few other forumers, is

1. To replace the fan on the hyper 212+ . 1 F12 would work to push and 1 F12 would work to Pull (Push Pull)

2. To add 1 F12 to the front part of the casing, to blow air towards the GPU

3. To add 1 F12 at the rear of the casing, replacing the other stock 800rpm fan, to exhaust all the hot air out of the casing.


Is this good enough?

Could i do better? What else can i do, with all the other fans that i have? (1 Cap ayam 2000rpm + 2 stock 800rpm fans)

Haha. Guys, you got me wrong.

I am not asking which of these options I should go with.

I am doing all 3.

I apologize if i didn't make it clear.

All 3 options will be done by me.

My question is, are all these 3 good enough or can i do better?

No problem. Thank you very much. Just needed the experts to tell me that this build is fine since i am a newbie at this.
