First off, the specifications;
* AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (Dual Core) AM2 2048K Cache
* Spire Kestrel-King II AMD 64 fan
* BIOSTAR A770 A2+,PCI-EX, 1GB LAN
* 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 DDR2 800 Dual Channel
* ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB PCI Express
* AC 97 3D Full Duplex sound card (onboard)
* Ethernet network adapter (onboard)
* 800W ATX Power Supply
* Full tower case with three 120mm exhaust fans and 5 120mm air intake fans
To keep it simple, I wish to maximize my computers cooling potential. I'm aware that I need a pci card fan and a hdd fan but what brands? I would also like to replace one of my 120mm fans as well. I could care less about noise. I simply want the best within a reasonable price. Not cheap, just reasonable. I would also like some advice on what cpu cooler I should use. The stock on my dual core isn't cutting it. From my experience, the way my pc is running at the moment is unhealthy but safe. I fear that my components will degrade much faster if I don't do something soon. One last question pertaining to my video card. It came equipped with a faceplate covering the gpus but with sections cut to fit the two fans; will removing the plate help or hinder the gpu's cooling potential.
Thanks in advance and I'll return shortly to view your most generous responses.
