cooling
nicely but I think if I had an exhaust fan at the back it would be even more effective. Unfortunately there is no space at the back for a fan. Any suggestions for alternative exhaust set up? GK Get a hole saw and cut a hole in the top of the case. Put a fan inside the
case blowing out of the hole. Show quoteHide quote "gregork" <greg***@paradise.net.nz> wrote in message news:421458ea$1@clear.net.nz... >I recently installed a chassis fan on my system.

Additionally no mention of what/where this "chassis fan" has been added nor what type. DETAILS are your friend. Any suggestions would be inappropriate without knowing these things, and what parts comprise the system, the total thermal load and placement of those greater heat-generating parts as well.

Previously people install it next to display card just to cool down the video processor. -- WebWalker AoA,
My system was quite heating up since few months. The warning msg of motherboard started to beep whe i played the games(40C min ~ 60C max). so what i did was: 1. i removed the sinker from the processor and cleaned both processor and sinker and applied a lot of HEAT TRANSFERING COMPOUND b/w sinker and process. 2. i also fixed a +12V fan within the casing to circulate more air with in the casing. Now i have (35 to 39 C min ~ 55C max) Although it also created a lot of noise but i am readyng to accept that! bye

My prescott (granted its a prescott) idles at 48C. Also with your thermal paste, you will want to check that you didn't apply TOO much of it as this will detract from the amount of heat transferred to the heatsink. You want a very thin layer between processor and heatsink. -Chris On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 21:43:15 -0700, "Chris Stolworthy"

i meant was that when i play games it goes above 60C and i have enabled my warning at range 60C to 90C. btw i have P4- 1.7GHz and GPU ATI Radeon 9200 128MB with 512MB RAM. and also what i know is that heatsink paste removes the air gap b/w processor and heatsink making heat to tranfer more quickly to sinker. bye |
