Amiga X5k CPU Cooler

OK, nothing to worry about then It's amazing how low geennaam's X5000 CPU temperature is.

I have two fans blowing hot air out of the case but none to blow cool air into the case.

I had the same problem, the built-in fan was ok at the beginning but got louder and louder over time, so I decided to use the Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX, Quiet Premium Fan, 3-Pin (40x10mm, Brown) my system is now very quiet and I'm happy with it.

CPU temp shows me 64 degrees, but I suspect the software is not measuring this accurately. I also checked it again after intensive use of my hardware (2 hours of operation) the CPU cooler was just lukewarm.

As far as I know, the x5000 also uses a 40x10 fan standard configuration.

Here you can see a picture of the new fan I have installed:

X5000 is a 60mm fan. You can get (or 3D print) an 80 -> 60 baffle / adapter but it does impact cooling and can make more noise because of the air hitting the baffle.

I don't really know why my temps sit around 64C when Geennam's are so much lower as I use the same model of case as him (I took his recommendation). Maybe I don't have my case fans up so high? I think you can change the speed of them? But realistically 64 isn't going to be an issue on a CPU that is good up into the 90's. My CPU may sit at 64C the bulk of the time but I've never really seen it do much more than that. If we ever get multi-core then maybe the topic of temps might come up again. That's assuming the idle core is currently in some low power state. I don't know how these things work. Don't really need to know either. Will have to see the latest update come AmiWest but unless much progress has been made then I'm doubtful a stable multi-core will ever see the light of day at this point. But that's a different topic.
