Re: Cooling Solutions?
well here is the specs of my rig
2.0ghz sempron 2800+
400watt logisys psu
128mb gefoce fx 5200
108mb sec wifi card
HD creative sound card
7 case fans
1 pci duel slot fan blower
1 doctor thermal cpu heat sink
Temps
system 90
cpu 99
hd1 82
hd2 81
apci 110
lets start by taking the heat sink off and getting a nonstock cpu cooler anyone would work with a higher rpm fan and some thermal greese also if you cant do this clean it off of dust put and put some thermal past on the cpu
have 2 intake fans one blowing on hds and also the mobo its self and if u have exaust fan slots use replace them with diff fans bought at your local pc store anyone will work i use TYPHOON AND MASTERCOOLER
pci slot blowers will seriously help your cooling power by taking heat off the video card and that will in turn lower the system temp and video card temp its self. it wouldnt hurt anyways to get some thermal paste on the GPU its self i also use hard drive bay slots to cool hard drives but since in my rig i couldnt attach a hard drive to the bay cooler so i just use it as a intake fan set
and if u have chipsets on the mother board that just have heat sinks get coolers for those too like a chipset cooler comes with thermal paste heat sink with fan and a adapter to connect to a molex plug
it would also help if you posted a pic i hope my advice helped you some and sorry about my grammer.
