Some new stuff to ease the life of my rig this summer.
hyeah:
Cooler Master GeminII




The Fans


Installation



Also arranged a 120 mm fan on the side fans panel (instead of the standard 80mm) to blow air onto my 1900XT and added a 120 mm fan for front intake.
Room Temperature: 33~35 deg (Yes its damn hot here
)
Temperatures before the upgrade.
CPU Idle : 47~48 deg
CPU Load : 56~57 deg
GPU Idle : 68~70 deg
GPU Load : 90~95 deg
HDD : 48 deg
Temperatures after the upgrade.
CPU Idle : 37~38 deg
CPU Load : 47~48 deg
GPU Idle : 55~56 deg
GPU Load : 69~70 deg
HDD : 39 deg
Will try to give more detailed results of the GeminiII when I can find some time. It may not be as good as the U120, but still its doing its job well enough in keeping the temperatures down. A 8~9 degree decrease in load temperature in this summer heat is not bad at all.
Also I used the shitty Cooler Master thermal paste that came with the GeminII. I didn't bother to apply the paste properly either. Careful application of AS5 may yield somewhat better results.
