Cooling Mods

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?

121°?!?! :blink::blink:

You certainly need better cooling if you want that CPU to survive for much longer! Keep it below 70°!!

hes talking about farenheight, celsius is 50C for that

:blushing: 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 :blink:

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 choices

1. Raise up bottom of computer with rubber legs and mount it there

2. In the clear window in the side

Which of these 2 would yield better cooling?
