Heads up I installed Kaze Jyuni scythe Fans and big time change which i am happy to report

The stock fan from the waterblock and coolermaster fan did no justice but these puppies got me with no worries now

stable temps now max temps after burning a movie were 37c then droped back down to 16c

I'm air cooled with a Scythe Mugen2. The twin Kaze-Jyuni fans I use are krazy cool.

Great choice Solarstar.

Mugen are the Thicker 120 mm fans right ?
I wanted to grab a pair of those but i wasn't to snout about buying new screws to mount those baby's

I had to go out and buy better fans because my water cooling was acting like average cooling and there has been a big change so that pleases me for now till i see somthing else

Scythe Mugen is an air CPU cooler.> Mugen 2 Rev. B: CPU Kühler, Lüfter, Lüftersteuerung, PC Netzteile von Scythe

I was just pointing out you went with the Scythe Kaze-Jyuni's fans as I had.

Two years service and 16 hours a day on average on the fans with nary a squak from them.
I bought 3 while they were on sale so I would have a back up. The backup is still in the box collecting dust.

Two years at even 12 hours a day is 8640 service hours on my system except the SSD's.

I think it is closer to 10,000 hours actual.

I get what you are saying Just was looking at many models and these are great

Im glad I looked into new fans had me a little worried my Water cooling kit went sour

Great minds think alike.

You know it but I was stumbling along the way of your Tracks you make a Fine Path to Follow

Thanx to all that showed interest in my guide.

I have no need for water cooling but I enjoy checking out the new hardware and tutorials.

A bit like going to a auto show. It is always fun checking out the new stuff and the Ferrari's and Porsche's.

My new turbo Carrera might need extra water cooling.

Good job with the tutorial.

Thank you very much

I have a Noctua NH-D14 that does better. And Ivy Bridge gets awful hot when you OC it. The H 100 can't handle it. I've repasted a dozen times with 3 different pastes, tried numerous fans in every configuration imaginable. Nothing changes. At 1.224V I hit 85 in Prime. I'm looking for something much better.

There's here some test with highly rated thermal compound:

PS: I'm actually with a Cpu Air Cooling but i'm very interested in watercooling some parts only.
Not the CPU!
