|  A direct cpu fan comparison I just switched my CPU fan out for a new one. I thought the results were interesting so I thought I'd share. I had this one: Newegg.com - ZALMAN CNPS9500 AT 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink - CPU Fans & Heatsinks And I replaced it with this one: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER RR-LIE-L9E1-GP 95mm Rifle CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks My average core temperature (idle) before the switch (with the more expensive fan) was 22 degrees celcius. My new average core temperature is 24, only 2 degrees higher. I thought the new fan would not work nearly as well, because of the price. Thought I should post in case it could help someone save a few bucks. BTW, my CPU is a stock Q6600 quad core, and it resides in an Antec 900. |

| Re: A direct cpu fan comparison It means the temperature when your computer is running something CPU intensive.

 | Re: A direct cpu fan comparison That cooler master heatsink is rubbish and unless you have a ridiculously low ambient, I guarantee you are not idling at 24C... http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggIma...103-013-04.jpg And is it just me or is the contact patch on the heatsink's base retardedly small?
