HI

Who can help me.
Trying to find a CPU fan that match sonata 2 box.
Lot of thermaltake don't and the intel 4 (3.60 ) is a bit hot - 60 - 73
degré - and motherboard 40 - 50°
fan 2200 to 2500 rpm, so a bit noisy

Thanks all
 
You'll need 120mm fans or water cooling to reduce the temps. I was
using an antec performance II case, and even with 4 80mm fans, temps
were routinely 62C on my P4 3.4 650 on the same motherboard. You'll
have to get cool air inside the box and hot air out. I ended up using
antec P160 with 2 120mm fans (plus the PS's 120mm fan). My CPU will
still go higher than 65C, but not as often, or for as long as it did
before. Good luck.

On my original Sonata, I had to remove the lower plastic trim piece
and the air filter, in order to get better air flow into the
box. Try that, and perhaps you won't need to modify anything else.

Thanks,
you're right I think this piece of plastic don't conduct air outside but
keep warm inside.

I try it
