| 631782 | 2008-01-19 22:04:00 | well thats your problem, fit another rear case fan preffable 80mm. if you can't buy a better case. in the mean time take the side of the case off and use a small household fan to blow into it. i would fix it pronto as ase temp of 63deg (assuming thats correct) means your hardrives are going to die real fast. Ok i will get 2 80mm round fans, its got two grills on the back for it. =) thanks for all your help everyone!~ |

| 631783 | 2008-01-19 22:06:00 | Is it just the weather that's making it run hot? Is it ok most of the time? You could just open the side up and see if that makes a difference... Just don't go using any super soakers near it or anything... Are there any places where you could put new fans? eg: on the side, front, or top at the back? Well i will check, yea its the case, its running and cold up here but the system is still running @ 60deg and the Nforce is at 88 deg |

| 631784 | 2008-01-19 22:07:00 | I question those temperatures - what did you use? What's the CPU temp taken from the CMOS setup screen? I would have expected CPU to be higher than the case - difficult to see how CPU can remain cooler than case. Just for an example my case is 32°C and CPU 57°C right now. | coldot (6847) | ||
| 631785 | 2008-01-19 22:09:00 | I have a AMD Smart fan so it only turns on when it get hot. I am using the NVDIA MonitorView to see the temps but also speedfan was showing the same temps |

| 631788 | 2008-01-20 05:41:00 | 1. Get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust. 2. Get case fans front and back and see if your side panel can take one then, put one on there as well. 3. Use 120mm case fans for best results if your case can fit them. 4. keep the case on a table/desk etc.,NOT on the floor-gets fluff etc from the floor. 5. If you want a good case then get the Coolermaster CM 690.:thumbs:I got mine for $135.00 and its a great case,which looks nice and cools realy well as it comes with 3 x 120 mm case fans ,front,back,side.You can have 8 x 120 mm case fans if you want to be super cool.:cool: |

| 631790 | 2008-01-20 20:36:00 | instead of adding fans willy nilly, think about the flow of air in your system, the psu usually spits air out the back. so an additional fan on the back blowing out the of the case is good. if you're able to fit one on the side it should be blowing into the case, and if there is room to fit a fan on the front for one blowing into the case then you'll have good airflow right through your system. depending on your case, have a look at the front (you might have to take the front plate off) and there might be room for a 120 or 80mm fan there. of coarse having more air flow means more dust flow so i agree with memphis, try and keep it off the floor unless you vacuum under your desk regularly :) | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
