I did a search but didn't come up with anything. Right now I have two 80mm fans mounted in the bottom of my case blowing fresh air straight up toward the processor and memory and all the good stuff. I then have a third 80mm fan sucking cool air in from the back and pretty much putting it across the top of a cheap CoolerMaster fan/heatsink.
I want to put two more 80mm fans in the top of the case sucking the hot air out.
I figure this way, I can capitalize on the fact that hot air rises, plus drawing air in fro the bottom gives me just a *little* bit cooler air coming in.
This is what I've got right now:
Penitum 4.0A Northwood 2.0GHz overclocked to 2.5GHz with standard Vcore volatge and FSB of 125MHz
Abit BG-7 with PCI bus locked at 33MHz
256MB PC2100DDR
Ambient temperature is 21 degrees C
System temperature is 21 degrees and processor temp is 35.5 degrees Celsius at idle fully warmed up.
I'm running Prime95 on torture test right now to see what I can get the load temps up to, but is it normal to see your system temp equal to that of the ambient temp? It seems sort of surreal to me.
