MD Athlon 64 3400+/1Gb Mem/ NVIDIA 6800GT 256Mb Idle - 1000Mhz Game
Mode - 2200Mhs
Sonic Tower without additional fans 49C 71+C (test aborted)
Sonic Tower with one additional fan (between the sonic towers) 38C 50C
Sonic Tower with two additional fans (recommended) 35C 46C


The fans are fat but they move a lot of air quietly .
I would be interested to know how my setup compares to Typhoon cooler from
Thermaltake.
Mine is more flexible though. Keep in mind that I can actually turn all the
fans off except the two case fans when I am not gaming.
In reality I keep one fan closer to the front of the case on (25% power)
probably 7v or so and I can play Half-Life 2 no problem.


Right now the place is at 80f the cpu is at 40c with one fan at a quarter
power
