What cpu cooler are you using?

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°?!?!

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

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

LOL... I was hoping it would be C

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?

Hmmmm nobody

if u install a fan on the window then it will vibrate alot, go for the bottom

and of coarse ddr will be faster

Thanks will do I will post temps when finished.

So far I installed Aero 7 lite and changed the rear case fan from intake to exaust(this is the way it came)

Temp are 107 F processor, 89 F case

Working good so far
