Re: Z400 Aftermarket Upgrades

Thank you both for your replies!

 

I still have not installed the Freezer 13 CPU cooler. I did check the performance cooler and it is still more expensive than this other fan. I also come from a mentality where usually aftermarket coolers are better than stock manufacturer's parts.

 

I can confirm that my fan is the low profile fan since it only has a 4-pin connector for the PWM fan. As soon as I changed the CPU to the W3680, the bios stops booting becuase of the fan thing. That's is why I wanted a better cooler, but my budget was limited.  Still, I have not seen the temp on the CPU go above 56C and as low as 35C with the low profile cooler. My AC room has a bunch to do with that too.  I did use Artic Silver 5 that I had around and I believe that also had something to do with it. AS5 is a very good thermal paste.

 

I also bought new silent high CFM fans to improve the cooling of the case in general. Also plan on doing one of SDH's mods for the front intake fan, taking the plastic fan holder out and just have the fan straight to the chassis with screws. 

 

Still a couple of things to do here. Thanks to all. Now to hunt ebay for that cooler at a low price and see if I can then sell the Freezer..
