dirtwarrior Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 What cpu cooler are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) I took the side off my case to see what would happen. CPU temp 121, case temp 98.A little different from with case closed up.Am I starved for air?dirt121°?!?! You certainly need better cooling if you want that CPU to survive for much longer! Keep it below 70°!! Edited March 14, 2006 by LLXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 hes talking about farenheight, celsius is 50C for that 50°C is a normal temperature for full load, not of any concern.I'm used to temperature monitors reading out in Celsius, so that 121° was really surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtwarrior Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) I am going to mod my puter a bit since it still runs well and I cant justify spending money for a new one. I ordered a new fan/heat sink combo, upgraded the stock 80 mm fan with a 120 mm high flow(exaust) and will add a 120 mm(intake)With my puter all I do is surf net, play games, mod and test out new os's in virtual pc, burn cd's and dvd's and sometimes edit them.I know my stuff is dated 1900+,1024 mb pc 133 ram and a 128 mb ddr video card. I have support for ddr on my board so later I might do that. So far its done all I have asked of it.Would it be much better with 1024 mb of ddr?I am pretty good with cutting sheet metal so mods shouldnt be a problem. I do have a question about the intake fan. I have 2 choices1. Raise up bottom of computer with rubber legs and mount it there2. In the clear window in the sideWhich of these 2 would yield better cooling?dirtwarrior Edited March 15, 2006 by dirtwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 if u install a fan on the window then it will vibrate alot, go for the bottomand of coarse ddr will be faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
