There! Yeah I just got the cooler mounted about 2 weeks ago and just got the dual push pull fan setup in order. The first Xigmatek fan was DOA then I ordered two Arctic Cooling fans and one of those was defective and finally I ended up with a working, BUT LOUDER THAN HELL, Cooler Master fan. I tell you that cheap Chinese ˟˟˟˟..... oh wait all of my components were made in China.
So far my temps with the cooler and the push pull setup have disappointed me. The Arctic Cooling 92mm is used for the push and the Cooler Master 92mm is used for the pull. I used the thermal paste that came with the cooler. Tell me if you think these are good idle temps....

that's odd... mine's idling on the stock Intel cooler right now at 29-30
well, I say idle, but I have 4 Firefox windows open, iTunes playing, and a few Windows folders open...
I know this is an old post superbleeder, but how in the HELL do you see 30 degrees with the stock cooler? Did you use some magic thermal paste or what? With my stock cooler I never saw under 40 degrees idle.

I have an 88 pickup and I put a 92 motor in it and used my ecu and wiring harness. I changed the sensors from my old engine to the new one and I'm getting codes 21,22,24,31,41 and 51. I know what the codes mean and I've replaced the tps and the maf but still codes and it won't start. I did cut the plug off of the tps and used the new style but it didn't work so I went back to the 88 style. Can anyone help!!?
I am an IT guy by day, and a 4Runner (noob) by night. Mostly, I do server/database maintenance but I make logos and website ad banners on the side. This is my setup for work:

I don't have the specs on hand off the top of my head, but I've got a desktop setup I my brother and I built back in 2012 that's served me well. Originally built it for gaming, but it's come in handy when editing photos and video. I've got it hooked up to a 32 inch 720p TV, a 22 inch 720p monitor, and an ancient dell square monitor.
My PC is just a standard HP Envy (10G ram, 2TB HD, i5 processor, etc), bought it stock in 2012. I have used it for a multitude of things from pretty intense gaming (going on 15-20 hour runs on MMOs and running multiple CS6 programs simultaneously for graphics and photography stuff). I have recently started having issues with the graphics card (it's an Nvidia GE force 700, it's needed an upgrade the day I got it home haha) so it's going to be getting a few fancy upgrades here in a couple months when the hunting season is over and I have time to dig into it. I will also be looking into a new heat sink, fan and hopefully some more ram (crossing my fingers). Truthfully, with how hard I run it I'm surprised it has lasted this long before crashing on me. Motherboard is in really good shape, but if I can afford it I want to try to upgrade it when I do my graphics card. I want to look at snagging another monitor as well, but that's if I can convince my husband that I really do need to take up the whole home office with my stuff hahaha!
