Mort81,
Take a look into one of these if it's 40mm! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835129036
It's what I used for the enzotech and it's extremely quiet and moves 6.5 cfm! It's been several months now and so far no complaints. Only turns 2200 rpm and it's so quiet that I didn't see the need to slow it down.

I would be more worried about why the high core temps. 19C between the cores and the CPU temp is a bit much for idle! What speed are you running the CPU Fan?

RedRob something like this is pretty nice. :) linky to "low" profile chipset cooler
Rob here's some more fans to look at too. ;) You just "screw" them to your NB heatsink or radiator. ;) You may have to find some screws that will work. ;) I'm sure Home Depot has something in a small metal screw. :)

mort, you clearly have not seen pakistani rice :D
its long and thin HAHA. (ofcourse pakistani men have a long and THICK one ;P ) (boozer and imran, back me up lol)
right, i have cranked my FBS to 400, and am running my RAM 3:4 so its goign at 533 (1066) effective, and its rated at 444 12 (2.1v) at 800 effective. i have it now at 555 15 (2.2) and 1066MHz effective. talk about some GOOOD clocks :)
hopefully i can push both CPU and RAM more.
atm CPu is at 400x8 (3.2 GHz) at 1.4V idleing about 35, loading (OCCT) about 61C and this is at my E2140 having a 100% OC now.

NB heatsinks are different sizes for different chipsets and mobo manufactures. 20mm x 20mm x 20mm fit perfect on both the chipset heatsinks on my P5W DH Deluxe. 40mm would have been too big. I ended up using some machine screws for one chipset fan and some wood screws for the other.
GM,
you never answered my question a few posts back.

once again I ask, if you use an aftermarket NB heatsink, what do you do about the thermal tubing between the NB heatsing and the mosfets heatsink?

Mort81,
Are you sure about that 20x20x20 fan size? I couldn't find any and when I googled, I got exactly 1 and that was in the UK. Another reason I ask is that most chipset heat sinks work perfect with 40mm fans. Even the cheapo Asus coolers (the chromed plastic) are 40mm!

Quote: ok im not to hip to what that means, could you break it down so i could understand???lol
Most chipsets these days come with passive cooling which is fine for normal operation but when one begins to overclock they are not so effective. The instructions that come with the motherboard suggest that you use your CPU fan to cool the chipset and that does help a bit but it is still not that effective. I've found that a well placed fan can do a much better job without too much hassle.
Mort makes a good point about noise so you will have to choose well and use vibration damping materials to reduce vibration. I use water cooling and because it is so effect I always use the low setting and it is much quieter than a CPU fan, so the chipset fan is the only fan in that area. I do a little cooling shopping every now and then to see what is available.
Here is one of the places that I like to shop for cooling ideas.

you're right Russ. they were 40 x 40 x 40. I got confused because the 1st ones I used were 40 x 40 x 20 and I upgraded them to 40 x 40 x 40. my bad.

It pulls so much heat out of the MB and away from the CPU, it's unbelievable. Use the fan I linked Morty to! Very fast service too!
Russ
those look cool(yes pun intended) but do i take of the coolers that are now on there or do they go over the top of what i have now?
and the 40mm fan i just set it ontop of the nb and i screw the screws i find into the fins on the NB ? and the same on the sb. the sb is alot smaller it wont split/crack it will it?
man it looks like the whole gang is here tonight. alot of info flying around for sure..
got a question/favor to ask.... anyone with a fan/enzotech chip could you take a pic of it so i could see what it looks like?

rob,
exactly. you can mount them on your existing heatsinks. I would still do a mobo mod as previously mentioned.
well I guess nobody is going to answer my question.
I don't need any chipset mods or fans other than the normal mod I already did but it would present even more problems for me if I replaced my heatsinks because I have thermal tubing (heat pipes)running between my NB HS and my mosfets HS and between my NB HS and my SB HS.
if I was having NB or mobo temp problems, my best scenereo would be to install 1 fan on my NB HS.

just my personal opinion but I think I would go with one or two chipset fans before going to all that. :D
in regards to my P5W DH Deluxe, applying AS5 alone brought my mobo temp down 7 or 8c. then by installing chipset fans, it lowered it another 7 or 8c for nearly a 15c total. it was running about 46c and went down to low 30's.

That Antek I linked you to is 40x40x20mm, moves 6.5 cfm and is quieter than it's specs say at full speed (2200 rpm). Unless it's the only fan in the case, you will never here it! Forget the Silenx and the Evercool. The Silenx don't last but about 3-4 months and the Evercool's are screamers! They spin at more than twice the speed of the Antek and move less air doing it (5000 rpm)!
