Moving from Water to Air cooling.

Recently i have had some trouble with my Water Cooling set up and had to switch to air. With it being 83* outside right now and I have not started the A/C units in the house. My processor is currently running at 47*C (117*F) under full 100% CPU Load for the last 4 hours. Then drops to 39*C in about 2 mins after the test. I currently have 1 fan on the Heatsink and thats running at 6k rpm Unknown CFM, One fan above that pushing 5k RPM Moving 75 CFM and one above that at 3k rpm which is a normal side panel fan, and the fan on the back of the case is also blowing air at the heat sink. Yes there is currently 12 fans in my system and I have major airflow in the case.

The air refreshes inside the case every 4 sec's with a fog test.

So my question is will i be ok?
I stopped overclocking my proc the moment i switched to air and its running at stock speeds for the 1900+ A-XP, AMD's spec page says the proc is safe upto 90*C but that seems a little high to me.


Once the A/C starts up as the weather will get worse. I thinking I will be ok all around.


edit: Its a Cooler Master HFS that i'm using, Anyone hear any pros/cons about there products.

That is PLENTY cool enough. You've clearly been watercooling for too long. =P

Smokes. Careful with those fans. You could affect the Earth's rotation or somethin'. Yes, 90* is hot, but 47* is cool. You've passed the point of diminishing returns with airflow and are collecting more dust than MHz. Let your neighbors sleep and turn a few of them off, or at least throttle them.

If you really need all those fans going to keep it under 55* then check your CPU/HS junction. Too much paste or air gaps will forkle the thermal transfer.

Thanks for the info all. The fans are on a temp controller so thay only speed up to full when it starts getting warmer in the case. The steel case does kill some of the sound as well as the dynamat the system sits on. *Second floor of a wood floor house, Sub sits on the stuff too*
