| 132130 | 2003-03-30 06:45:00 | Sorry - forgot to add: Case is from Serious Computers in Ellerslie, Auckland. Has room for a HDD cooler or a temperature monitor/cooler when I have my CD-ROM and CD Writer in the case. The two 80mm fan spots in the case I have just filled with fans from Dick Smith Electronics - both fans are the Titan brand and are currently running at around 3000 rpm. |

| 132131 | 2003-03-30 08:04:00 | > blowing a household fan into the case did lower the temp - about 8 degrees Celsius your motherboard is most likly reporting the temps incorrectly. the household fan should make the case temp the same as the room temp. >Could just be that the case temp sensor is too close to the CPU doubt it. most are on the bottom end of the mobo (upright case) one comman thing to watch is what the case is sitting on. i've seen a fair few sitting on/sinking into carpet with the carpet blocking the front air vent. |
