Time to test 120x38mm Delta 190cfm 3.0amp fan. Mounting done by trusty zip ties as pictured here.



Scythe Infinity with 120x38mm Delta 190cfm 3.0amp fan


Bios value => Intel Desktop Utilities value (windows)
CPU idle = 50-52C => 41C
System Zone 1 idle = 33-35C => 34C
System Zone 2 idle = 29-31C => 31C

Intel Desktop Utilities value (windows)
CPU load = 55-56C
System Zone 1 load = 37-38C
System Zone 2 load = 32-33C

Room temp = 26.8C

955XE @ stock 3466Mhz at 1.275v quad stressprime load compare between

Scythe stock 120x25mm 46.5cfm fan
vs
Thermaltake 120x25mm 81cfm fan
vs
Delta 120x38mm 190cfm fan



I believe the system temps are higher on Delta due to the fan being more focused air flow being in the centre versus the TT 81cfm fan having a more even air flow which would help the mosfets under the Scythe Infinity heatsink.
