Cooling

Not something that is talked about very often by most people, but i noticed the large temperatures my case and CPU were hitting the other day..... and realised this is due to me only having one fan (which happened to be my CPU fan) in my case which ran at like 2000RPM (really bad) and was missing parts of the blade so the air flow was terrible.

So i got my dad to steal a nice beefy system fan and a new heatsink/fan for my cpu, plugged it all in and managed to fuck up my HDD in the process (long story short.... i ripped the power out the pc while it was writing files, thought it was more or less off). I now have 2 fans running at about 5000RPM and my temperatures have dropped around 10 degreesC (CPU) and 15 (case). Only downfall is that i need to have my music on loud to drown out the damn noisy fan (the main point of this fan is airflow for a server... not quiet home use)

So, what cooling do u guys use?

Re: Cooling

My old comp heated up the whole of the attic (where I live :p) better than any electric heater I've ever had! This one is like a plane taking off when windows is loading up... Any excuse to turn the music

Cheers

Re: Cooling

I dont have water cooling. Its good enough as it is (not overclocked. No instability).
I dont care about the noise; Im used to that. And I do get high allowance but still Im a kid who gets allowance so Im a budget gamer.
