selecting the best fans and heatsinks

[Asky]

Nope do not have much idea on that.
Actually i think only Prime ABGB(based in lamington road,Mumbai) imports Thermalright products.So check their website if they have that HSF.

k thanx man!!

i have an E2180 which is a relatively cool chip to begin with, but i swapped out the stock heatsink/fan for a thermaltake big typhoon vx. somewhat of a handsome frog to install because of it's massive size, but my cpu's been running at 20C at idle. i have done any stress tests yet, so i'm not sure what itd do for any load temps, but i'm guessing it wont be too high.

20c idle sounds like your temperature readings are a bit off. Unless your ambient is around 10-12c which is quite cool.

well i was getting the temp readings from the BIOS and also from everest.

What is your normal ambient temperature? Only thing you should know is that CPU core temps can not be lower than ambient unless you are using some very extreme cooling solutions. With a heatsink/fan, it's impossible. So, measure the air in and around your case and go from there

Typical delta from ambient to idle core temp should be somewhere around +15-20c depending on the type of cooler you've picked. My cores idle at 38-40, and my ambient is 21c or 70F +/- 2F. That's with a Thermalright Ultra 120 and AS5. However, I'm pumping 1.425 volts into my chip, so it's approaching it's thermal limit with air cooling.

Your chip should definitely run cooler than mine, but not that much cooler

Well this is what Everest is telling me, the temps are a bit higher cause i was just running some apps:
Motherboard: 34 C
CPU: 25 C
GPU: 53 C
HDD: 35 C

my core voltage is at 1.39V

If it is the same trunion as speedfan (85) you need to add 15c to it. Right now speed fan reads cpu: 23c, core 1: 20c, core 2: 20c. In actuality the temps are 38c, 35c and 35c.

well im running everest ultimate 4.20 beta, according to things ive read, they corrected the temp readings for this beta...

You have still to answer the main question. What is your normal or average room temperature AKA Ambient?

 

[Asky]

Yes patio you CPU Temp can never be below the Ambient/Room Temperature.
Your temps seem good but you must be living in a really cold area for the temps to be spot on !
