Out of curiosity, what fans/case/HSF are you using? It seems like your fans are going really, really fast!!!!

I've added two more fans to my case, and went the positive pressure route. I've moved the Silverstone fan over to the side of the case with the PSU, and although I originally wanted to push air out on that side, I decided on pulling air in. The reason being there were a lot of open, unfiltered...

After running the processor overnight and having the thermal compound settle, temperatures decreased to 46 and 48 degrees C @ 30% load. Not bad! Update: Just ran Prime95 on all cores for awhile - Temperature at full load goes all the way up to 78C and 72C!!! I think I'm going to need to get a...

Alright! Got all the parts and managed to put everything together! TType85 was right; they are literally touching! Anyhow, I installed the fans so that they are blowing in parallel. I'm getting 50c and 60c on moderate load though... I might have to shove more fans in there!

I think i'm going to mount my HSFs blowing parallel to each other as opposed to in series. Once I get numbers back, report back!

I heard that the noctua 60mm fans were pretty good! Have you given them a try before? I've received my RAM, CPU and Mobo, so I'm just waiting on the two Noctua HSFs to come in before I power it up! ETA should be early next week. I'll run some stress tests and report back with my temp readings!

Are you using the same heat sinks from before? 46/57 isn't *THAT* bad! Is that under load or idle?

Alright - Parts ordered! I ended up going with exactly what you have; 2 x NH-D9DX i4 3U! Mounted the motherboard in the case today, and now just waiting for the rest of the components to get in! Thanks for the help!

Yeah, i don't think I have a problem with the HSFs touching, as long it's not overlapping and possibly changing the pressure of either one or both of the HSFs relative to their contact to the CPU. I like the NH-D9DX i4 3U because the fan is mounted in between the fins, so it's not taking a...

Oh wow!, that's pretty close, but they fit! What happens when you turned the HSFs the other way (90 degrees), was it the fans that wouldn't fit? I was going to do the same thing, but use only one fan per HSF, and have a push/pull setup going, where no fans are between the HSFs, sort of like...

Hey STHers! I was wondering if anyone has any experience working with a X9DRL-EF motherboard. More specifically, I'm going to be mounting this into a SilverStone GD09 chassis along with 2 x E5-2670 processors. It's going to be running virtualization and transcoding tasks, but needs to be very...
