I got my Swiftech MCX462 today and It's Total Overkill, But what the heck. I like it
80 mm Delta fan pushing 69cfm and It weighs 25.6 ounces.
I think it could make McDonald's coffee cold in less than one minute.
Going to install it tomorrow night.

Don't hook it to your cpu first, just let it stay as it is in the pic. Let's see if it'll fly.
Just be sure to have plenty of earplugs.

Wow Hoo, It's installed. Since I was pulling the mobo I bought an Antec 1030 case. I pulled the stock fans and replaced then with 4 panaflo fans.
Now my computer room has dropped 5 degrees in temp, LOL. This case is a wind tunnel.
I can feel the air moving.
Joe, I'm using a Epox 8K7A with an AMD XP1800+, Radeon 8500, X15 drives. What have you been doing?

What temps you getting? If I were you, I would put a quieter 80mm fan on there. I LOVE quiet...
But, you have a dang nice system, I wish I would have waited before building my first, but I may upgrade a few months down the road.

Sean , the system temp is at 82f , CPU 91f and room temp 72f.
Replace the fan??? why would I do that?? I like the sound of a well tuned engine.
