Erm guys, am totally a n00b at cooling.

i want to start improving the cooling within my system unit.

my questions are the following :

1) What are the equipment that i will need to clean my system unit and install new fans? (canned air? mounts for fans? what size fans? etc)
2) Where can i get these equipment?

A list of equipments that i would need will be very helpful, guys! Thanks in advanced!

Alright thanks dude. was thinking of where to buy canned air, actually hehe

i like speedfan, low resource consumption and useful!

Hey guys, could use some help.

Firstly, i'm running a positive airflow pressure, is this better than a negative pressure?

My rig is in my siggy.

All my fans are Evercool Spider (air filter), here's my current setup :

80mm Upper Side Intake
80mm Rear Intake
Silverstone Strider ST400W PSU 120mm Outtake (top of case)

Temperatures i'm getting are (based on Speedfan):

temp1 - 38c
temp2 - 34c
temp3 - 43c
hd0 - 40c
hd1 - 40c


Is that ok?


I'm planning to add on a 120mm Intake Front and then changing the rear fan to 92mm OUTAKE. What do u guys think

I'm running a p4 3.0 ghz with a volcano 7+ hsf. at medium speed and running quite a bit of applications, temperature hits 52 celcius. is that hot?

That's the picture of my rig.

Specs is in my siggy. It's a Socket 478 P4 3.0Ghz HT 800FSB.
Idle temp with medium fan is 47-48 celcius

sorry it's northwood.

the best idle i've gotten is only 44 celcius. i want it lower
maybe i should change the hsf? super noisy also this hsf :s

any ideas?
