[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 40182, member: 18181"] My passive cooler has over twice the cooling area of those models and is designed to take advantage of an existing fan. That tells me those others are going to run very hot. I think I'd at least stick with the models with heat pipes. If you can rig up a duct from the cpu cooler to the case fan temp would be no problem at all. If your motherboard doesn't have fan speed control I'd go with a case fan that has a built in temperature sensor. I've been using the Antec fans with heat sensors. They rarely speed up in the systems I've installed them in but in a setup like you are building that might be usefull to prevent overheating. [/QUOTE]
