[QUOTE="XMARLTONX, post: 1087904, member: 28503"] I read alot about these systems being REALLY loud due to fan noise, however even with these added fans I barely hear it. The exhaust fans really move the air out of the back pci slots and when you put your hand back there and feel the heat coming out its worth any minute sound I hear lol The fans by the heatsink/hd I found on ebay by searching HD fan, I found alot like [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/EVERCOOL-HD-CW-SR-Cool-Wheel-Hard-Drive-Cooler-Fan-New-/150371896047?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2302dd0aef#ht_2423wt_1139"]these[/URL], they seem to be universal. As far as temperatures go, I just added the copper heat sink with AS5 in replacement of the old aluminum heat sink and am currently sitting at 123 on the CPU and 94 on the HD. Its 84 in my apartment. Before I was at 133 on the CPU and around 104 on the HD, so it looks like I dropped 10 degrees =) [/QUOTE]
