    Question Should I upgrade to 80MM Tornado Fan?

    I am using the Vantec Delta Screamer rite now for my CPU-fan, and the temp rite now is 36 idle. Do you guys think I would have a good chance of lowering the temp down by few degrees if I switched it to the 80MM Tornado fan??

    Tornado's are excellent fans. If it's possible, I'd imagine it be possible with that fan. They don't have the high pitched 'squeal' of the 60mm delta's either. They have more of a hum sound to them, which I find highly more tolerable.

    If you watch DVD's or anything with your computer though, I suggest investing in a Rheobus as well.

    Instead, why don't you just get a new heatsink. Look at the SK-7 and the SLK-800.
