Quiet solution for my Phenom II X6
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 6:42 am
Hello SPCR,
Been lurking for a while now and mostly have an idea for quieting down my system, so I want to check what you guys think of my plan before buying anything.
My current system:
Phenom II X6 1055T OC'd to 3.3/3.7 (same as the 1100T model), stock cooler, max temp of 62C.
Antec P183 case.
Seasonic S12II 430w PSU.
Sapphire HD7850.
I have the included fans set on outlet at back behind CPU (this fan uses a molex and seems to rattle for no reason), and intake on the middle HDD bay on the 3-pin connector on the motherboard (performs nicely compared to the molex one).
I live in NZ so options are very limited.
I'm looking at getting a Thermalright Macho Rev.A (HR-02).
And maybe a few 1200rpm Scythe Slipstreams.
Where should I put these fans, I don't see any way to mount something in the 5.25" bay, and the air flow from the PSU compartment seems limited, is the top as an inlet worth while?
And is there anything else I'm missing?
